As a Good Housekeeping editor, I’ve visited more than my fair share of spas. These spots aren’t just a place to get your hair cut, nail polish done or a massage but places that can actually heal you in ways you can feel physically and mentally. So whether you need to soothe your back pain or banish your acne blemishes, here are some of my favorite best spa in town.
At this modern, sleek spot in Manhattan you’ll find a true day spa (they also have salon services like haircuts and mani-pedis), complete with med-spa options for fillers, injections, lasers and more. But it’s their unique treatments that really stand out. Among them, the sole massage which uses acupressure techniques to reach those neglected areas you can’t quite touch with just your fingertips or your feet and their signature face and body rituals that are designed to restore balance to your entire being.
This Upper East Side boutique spa is a hidden gem of relaxation. Their full day spa passes give you access to their 5 different ‘circuits’ that address inner and outer healing and wellness. These include the beauty circuit which includes facials and body treatments, the performance healing circuit which focuses on acupuncture and massage, the temperature therapy circuit that utilizes infrared saunas and cryotherapy and the brain health circuit with sleep therapy.
Located inside the Greenwich Hotel, this oasis of balance and peace is rooted in ancient Japanese traditions with modern techniques. They use natural and organic products with extra warmth and care to create the perfect spa experience. Their most popular treatments are the Oxygen Awakening (a facial and oxygen-boosting peel) and the Omakase (a bodywork session that combines different therapies and oils). Don’t miss their bathhouse with its saunas, Turkish and Moroccan hammams and authentic Japanese onsens.
