Enjoy a 48-Hour New York Spa Crawl That Is Sure to Delight

Bright lights, big city, beautiful spas…so little time. If you had just 48 hours in New York, what spas would make your list of must-sees? There are plenty to choose from, for sure! And what makes a New York spa unique is their keen dedication to making you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle. (Not to mention NYC is on the cutting edge of the latest spa, beauty and anti-aging trends.) A few options to ponder for your next NYC spa weekend.

48-Hour Spa Crawl in New York

The Peninsula Spa New York
If you can swing it, The Peninsula Spa New York is worth the splurge. The Forbes Five Star-rated spa doesn’t disappoint, offering up extravagant treatments (the Escape from the City package [4 hrs; $1,120]; the Triple Lift Luxury Facial [2 hrs; $660]) with a design esthetic that’s just as lavish yet supremely elegant.  

BABOR Signature Spa at The Dominick
Continue your whirlwind NYC weekend with a visit to The Dominick. The five-diamond Soho hotel takes spa-ing to a sophisticated New York state of mind. Set over two floors, BABOR Signature Spa is the skincare brand’s initial soirée into North America. Elements like indoor-outdoor relaxation lounges and a traditional Turkish hammam complement signature BABOR services. Its fitness center is just as chic, highlighting Mirror workouts, Peloton bikes and more. 

KUR Skin Lab
Fun fact: Kur means cure, remedy or treatment. This Midtown East boutique spa makes kur its mission. And its treatment menu befits its wellness purpose, with a thoughtful lineup of facials; advanced skincare (peels, microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, microneedling, mesotherapy, etc.); body sculpting treatments; laser hair removal and skin tightening.

L’Institut Sothys New York
Embrace your inner French girl at L’Institut Sothys New York. Set in midtown Manhattan, the spa pays homage to its sister property in that other fab city: Paris. Estheticians from the City of Light’s Sothys Institut de Beaute train the NYC-based spa estheticians, so we recommend booking the Intensive Facial Treatments. Choose from one of four: New Detox Energie Anti-Pollution Facial Treatment ($180); Hydra Intensive Hydrating Facial with Hyaluronic Acid ($180); Anti-Aging Youth Treatment ($180); and Secrets de Sothys Soin Excellence Prestige Intensive Treatment ($300).
