"The newly added spa and fitness center are located on this iconic hotel’s hidden gem of a rooftop: panoramic view of the New York skyline spans from the Empire State Building to the Edge and peeks out from the wildflower garden populated with busy honey bees. This inspired framing of the city that never sleeps serves as the tranquil backdrop of the spa, which offers a traditional Swedish sauna, hot stone massages, and Reiki therapy. Treatment names like The Cure for those who swear, “I'm never drinking again,” pay further homage to the hotel’s frenzied past. The passionate youthfulness here and the spa’s holistic, restorative aura might seem like odd bedfellows, but the chemistry between the two enriches rather than contradicts the overall vibe of cool, refined, New York-ness. Even if you haven’t booked a stay, the spa also takes appointments from non-guests." - CNT Editors
