Best Spas in New York City

New York City's spa scene is as diverse and ambitious as the city itself. The dense concentration of five-star hotels in Midtown and the Upper East Side provides exceptional hotel spa experiences, while the city's wellness culture has spawned a remarkable range of independent day spas, Korean spas (jjimjilbang), flotation centres, and holistic wellness studios across all five boroughs.

The Plaza Hotel's spa, Exhale Spa, and the Le Méridien's SENSE spa anchor the luxury hotel end. Queens' K-Spa and other Korean day spas in the Flushing area offer a completely different but highly valued cultural experience. Float spas, infrared sauna studios, and cryotherapy centres reflect New York's appetite for the cutting edge of wellness technology. The High Line's proximity to Chelsea's wellness studios makes the far west side an emerging wellness district.
