This sleek hotel marries Asian sensibilities with New York panache, and its 14,500-square-foot spa is the piece-de-la-resistance. Bamboo and natural stone are used throughout, creating a temple of serenity in this most frenetic of world capitals. Chinese, Ayurvedic, Balinese, and Thai healing therapies are the highlight of a visit to this facility, where guests are encouraged to book blocks of time, known as Time Rituals, for a comprehensive relaxation experience. The spa menu is far-reaching, offering a wide array of massage therapies, body treatments, and facials designed to purify, nurture, balance, and rejuvenate visitors. Signature therapies celebrate the spa’s Eastern heritage with Lomi Lomi massage, Chakra balancing, and Ama releasing Abhyanga. This bastion of blissful quietude is capped off by a state-of-the-art fitness center, complete with a magnificent pool where swimmers can lap up the city skyline views.

Ama Releasing Abhyanga
This treatment releases congesting and restrictive toxins and frees the flow of natural energy through the body and mind.
The body is stimulated and exfoliated and followed by a gentle facial cleanse. Surrender to the Ayurvedic Marma point massage as a warm infusion of oils and herbs is applied to the vital energy centers of face and body, to gently release tensions and restore vitality. This ritual concludes with a deeply relaxing Oriental Head Massage or Shirodhara oil pouring to the forehead and through the scalp.
