    Refreshments during Covid - pretty weak selection of snacks.  There is a separate tea menu which was comprehensive

    Lovely massage, great staff, okay facilities. La Prairie Spa located in the Ritz Carlton Central Park is an intimate spa with great service. The Womens locker room has a hot steam room and showers, but no sauna, pool etc. There is a relaxation room with a choice of tea / champagne, but bare minimum snacks. There are no other details that one would expect at a luxury spa such as heated chairs, cold cucumbers, chilled towels, etc. My caviar massage with Laura was one of the best massages I've ever had, which easily made up for the lack of facilities. Come here if you're looking for a good massage; do not come for the facilities!

    Visited La Prarie at The Ritz-Carlton for a 60-minute Signature Facial. The facial was relaxing and at the end my face was glowing! The esthetician was very knowledgeable and explained what would be done during the facial prior to starting. The treatment bed is heated which is always a plus on a rainy NYC day! The spa is small however the design is beautiful and the steam room was the best steam room I've ever used. Would highly recommend visiting this spa and look forward to returning in the near future!

    You can get the sold out everywhere cellular energizing body lotion here

    Seriously book an appointment. You will not be disappointed. This is money very well spent. Best massage of my life. Walked out feeling so light and relaxed. A few things I didn't know before I got here. 1) there are light snacks in the lounge (berries, tea etc) 2) there are showers with stocked with shampoo conditioner. 3) they have hair dryers and styling products/tools as well so you can leave looking put together.

    if I could I would give the spa ten This is an example of excellent customer service as well as the best of the best spa services in the USA !!! I travel a lot for work but always try the spas at my hotels after taking red eyes This spa had the best facial and massage therapist I haves in the USA Andrea is at the front desk to welcome me by name !! The changing room is always very very clean . It has everything to use to get to dress afterward yo start my day of work Management of this Ritz is over the top But I stay at this hotel because of the spa Congratulations to Ritz for this Gem !!!

    The way I spent Saturday, January 4, 2014 was the best way to kick off the New Year. For our 1 year anniversary in December and my Christmas present, my boyfriend surprised me with a day at La Prairie for the Total Escape spa package. The package includes a mani/pedi, a facial, followed by a massage. Best boyfriend ever! We arrived early for my 11:15 AM appointment. The receptionists at the front desk were so welcoming. They took my coat and scarf while Matt checked me in. He took care of the payment and even the gratuity. I hugged and kissed him and the ladies told him to pick me up at 3:30 PM. Wow! Over 4 hours later! It was then that I realized I was in a for a long day of decadent relaxation! I was taken to the locker room and given a brief tour of the showers and steam room. I undressed, changed into a robe and slippers and went to sit in the lounge, where I enjoyed a delicious glass of crisp champagne. I was given a list of their music selection and was told to pick my favorites so I can tell them what to play during my treatments. Fifteen minutes later, Raynell came to pick me up and told me that she would be my manicurist. She took me to a room with the most amazing mani/pedi chair that I've ever seen. It looked like a regular chair until she removed a cover and there was a nice little bubbling steam bath for me to dip my feet into. I chose a nail color from their Deborah Lippman collection. After, I loved learning that the name of it was " Since I Fell For You." How fitting since this was a gift from the BF. The mani/pedi session lasted nearly 1.5 hours. I was so relaxed and Raynell was so nice. My fingers and toes had never looked better! Raynell took me back to the waiting room and gave me a glass of champagne. This time, I helped myself to some strawberries. Carolina picked me up for my facial. I've never actually had a facial before so I didn't know what to expect. The champagne had really helped me to relax. The idea of having someone examine your skin under such scrutiny and bright lights definitely frightens me. But I was so relaxed that I told myself I was in good hands. Indeed, I was! I dozed off for a bit during the facial, but woke up to feel my face. It was so smooth and soft. I've never felt my skin like that before! Back in the lounge, I was so relaxed and cozy that I couldn't believe that outside, NYC had just endured a major snowstorm. I sipped more champagne and ate more strawberries. This day was just too good! Laura picked me up for my massage. I was really looking forward to this part of the spa day since I carry a lot of stress in my shoulders. The 1-hour massage with Laura was too good. She paid extra attention to my shoulders and topped off the massage with an amazing head rub. After, she waited outside the door with a glass of water. I enjoyed the water in the lounge. I looked at the time and it was 3:15 PM. How the day just slipped away! I went to the reception area when I couldn't unlock my locker to find Matt waiting for me. He looked so happy to see me so relaxed and stress-free. I told him I'd be about 20 minutes since I needed to shower and change. Back in the locker room, I used all of the La Prairie products to get ready. The face wash is amazing! When I realized I might need a few more minutes, I texted Matt to suggest that he get some wine or bubbly. He responded that he was already sipping on champagne. Too good. Upon leaving, the receptionists retrieved my coat and scarf. They gave me a list of recommended products, but there was no pressure to purchase anything. I loved that they even gave me a little goody bag, with a full size bottle of the nail polish that I loved. What a treat! This spa day was too magical and I can't wait to return on one of our future trips to New York City.

    I hide from the world at this small, quiet, meticulously kept jewel of a spa and while it is pricy (hello it is the Ritz what do you expect?) they are very generous with their facilities and service. I arrived for a 6:30pm facial at 4 and proceeded to use the gym, the sauna, the shower with all complementary products. I lounged and read their NY Times while having champagne and fruit and this was all before a wonderful 60 minute facial. The service is perfect and the place feels empty - as if you were in your own private suite getting pampered (I admit I did go on a pretty Sunday but it was worth sacrificing the outdoors for the perfect oasis in doors). I concluded the evening with a drink downstairs at the bar and left the Ritz feeling like I had been away for days. If you want to hide in your own home town try this experience.

    I went as a walk in and was taken right away. It was around 5:30 pm on a Monday evening and 22…read moredegrees outside. Waiting area very clean and comfortable, spa like music playing in the background. I came here before about 8 years or so, things looked a little different but for the better. Yuni was my masseuse. Very petite and polite woman but man is she strong! She lead me to our room in the basement (I read another review that said it was cold and dark, not sure if that was 49th St.). Room was very comfortable and music softly playing in the background (review said that music was pumped/loud). She stated with a dry massage, with the blanket, and went into the official oil massage. Yuni definitely knows what she is doing because I didn't need to tell her about my problem spots she hit them right away! I was surprised at her strength and she literally almost had me so relaxed, I could have drooled while on the table. She did full back, legs, hips and arms. She didn't have me flip over but I got exactly what I needed so I felt no way about that. When she was done, she thanked me and I proceeded to get dressed and be on my way. Paid cash and left tip with the cashier and left feeling so relaxed. Convinced that this will be a monthly occurrence for me as it is so close to work and cost effective. Great job Snowflakes!

    First time today. Had a great 20 minute neck and shoulder massage. Terrific. I will be back soon!read more
