NYC may be the city that never sleeps but that does NOT mean that it doesn’t need a self care day every once and a while. Whether you need a detox from one too many co-worker happy hours or from a jammed metro ride, these spots have you covered.
Here’s your guide to four chic escapes in the city.
AIRE Ancient Baths
Tucked away in Tribeca, AIRE Ancient Baths channels Roman bathhouse energy with a moody, candlelit vibe. Picture soaking in thermal pools while soft music lulls you into oblivion. Pro tip: Book the Wine Bath Experience—yes, you literally bathe in wine. Because self-care should feel this indulgent.

QC NY Spa
QC NY Spa is a slice of European spa culture just a ferry ride away on Governors Island. The sprawling space features hydrotherapy pools, saunas, and relaxation rooms with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline. Whether you’re floating in their heated infinity pool or sipping a spritz on the terrace, this is wellness with a side of wanderlust.

Shibui Spa
Tucked inside the Greenwich Hotel, Shibui Spa is the epitome of understated luxury. Its Japanese-inspired design—complete with a 250-year-old wooden farmhouse ceiling—sets the tone for a tranquil experience. Their stress-relieving Shiatsu massage is a must-try, and the indoor pool makes this retreat even more irresistible.

Where urban chaos meets curated calm. The Well is all about modern minimalism with a wellness edge—think plush robes, calming neutrals, and eucalyptus in the air. Their signature Reset Massage?
