Your visit to this iconic spa begins with hot tea and slippers before slipping into an impossibly fluffy robe. Come early to enjoy indulgences like the warm stone benches, ice fountain, crystal steam room and grown-up coloring books before sampling the new specialties menu, which boasts a Millennial Posture treatment, targeting tech-induced tight spots with heat and trigger point therapy, and the East Meets West, featuring deep tissue work and Thai-inspired stretches.
