New York is universally known as the city that never sleeps for good reason: Between the world-class restaurants and bars, shopping, and museums alone, you could never sleep again and still not have time to experience everything the Big Apple has to offer. And with so many high-energy activities and attractions, it’s also easy to forget that New York City is home to some of the best spas and wellness hubs in the country.
Just like the people and cultural offerings of the city, the Big Apple’s spa scene is truly a melting pot of many cultures and traditions. From Japanese Shiatsu massage and thermal bath experiences at a Roman bathhouse, to innovative anti-aging facials at award-winning hotel spas and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at a celebrated social wellness club, there’s something for every kind of treatment-savvy traveler (or locals alike). Here are the best wellness destinations and spas in New York City, and the treatments that are drawing travelers from near and far.
