When living in the Big Apple, why not get the Big Apple treatment? We all work tirelessly in order to afford living in this city, and sometimes it can get overwhelming. Luckily, World Spa Day is a great excuse to get out of your own head for a day and just unwind. If you want uninterrupted relaxation and endless amounts of cucumber water, we've got just the list for you. These are the top 5 most luxurious spas in New York City.
AIRE Ancient Baths
Nestled within an unsuspecting textile factory in Tribeca, AIRE Ancient Baths is a sight to behold. It's appearance is often compared to a “Roman bathhouse, and when you enter it looks like a spa fit for royalty. Heated marble stones await, or maybe take a deep soak in one of their six specialty pools. One thing is for certain, though: You can't leave without experiencing the 30-minute soak in Spanish Tempranillo grape concentrate. It cleans your body to a whole new level, not to mention you get a scalp massage for all 30 glorious minutes.
