Best Spas in NYC
The Best Spas in NYC
NYC is home to some of the best day spas in the world. A number of brands have gotten their start there. So its always worth checking out a spa when you are in town. Relax for a New York minute if you can in the city that never sleeps. Actually come to think of it, maybe that’s the secret – no sleep, just a moment of relaxation or two.
I compiled this list doing my own research and correlating it with rankings across a number of review platforms, as well as local guides and articles and including Best Spas from Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Poll. These spas consistently rank highly across these various platforms, which is why I compiled them here into one easy list.

700 Fifth Avenue at 55th Street,
New York, NY 10019
Phone: 1.212.903.3910
Email: spapny@peninsula.com
Love to Spa’s Take: There is a reason why this spa is routinely rated at the top. With the pool and cuisine available, you can hide away from the city, especially when its winter. Read about my experience at the Peninsula Spa here.
2. Spa de La Mer at the Baccarat Hotel
28 W 53rd St,
New York, NY 10019
Phone: 1.212.790.8910
Love to Spa’s Take: To experience the La Mer products is a dream of many, so this spa gives you the chance to do just that. Anyone who has used La Mer products knows just how good they are, but not everyone can afford them, but the spa is actually a chance to try them out. This is the only La Mer spa in the US, so its worth checking out. Read about my experience at the Spa de La Mer here.
