We have scheduled massages at the spa at the Hilton Molina Stucky. What is the local custom for tipping, if any?

If you receive great service, then tip them what you would at home. Hopefully that would be at least 20%

Please ignore the above message and respect the local custom of not tipping. Workers' wages are a problem of their employers, not customers'.
If you were in a restaurant you could round up the table's bill (running the risk of tipping the owner's daughter), but nobody tips the hotel staff.

Dario: Thanks for the local perspective. Although I am quite familiar with tipping policies in restaurants, I have little experience dealing with professional services. I appreciate your contribution, thanks.

According to Who To Tip: Italy:
Tipping isn’t expected in Italian Spas, but if the service exceeds your expectations you can leave a 10% gratuity.
