    Women's Changing Room - Shower
    Taryn T.

    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.

She set me up with some calming tea and brought me to a private changing area with a locker for my belongings. Everyone in the vicinity checked in to make sure I was doing ok. I was worried that because I had arrived late, I would eat up some of my massage time. No siree! They moved my massage to start when I was ready to begin. I booked the 90 minute Nuansa classic massage. You know how some places start the clock before you've sat down and finish the massage early (aka you pay for an hour and it's only about 45 minutes)? Well! That's not the case here! I got all 90 minutes of my massage. The massage itself: not to be believed. Lukkana started by saying "time to relax". And boy did I. Let me tell you one thing about me - I have the most ticklish legs of anyone I've ever met. Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well! Somehow, Lukkana was able to work the muscles in my leg without triggering my dainty ticklish reflexes. I was astonished! Then, you know how sometimes you ask for a firm touch and you get jelly hands? Or the other way around and you're walking out with bruises? WELL - Lukkana made me feel immensely relaxed WHILE ALSO really working the tissue. What a novelty. She finished up with a scalp massage, which is truly the way to my heart. 11 out of 10. Would recommend. Thank you so much for making my day.

Fifteen minutes into our 90-minute couples deep tissue massage, I saw my husband's therapist, Lydia, typing on a lit smartphone while leaning over him. When she realized I saw her, she hid the phone under the sheets. There is no version of this that is acceptable. Texting during a paid massage is blatant misconduct. It didn't stop there. My husband repeatedly asked her to focus on his neck and shoulders and avoid his feet. His requests were ignored. The technique was lazy and mechanical - repetitive forearm circling with little to no pressure, despite requesting deep tissue. He left feeling like he didn't receive a massage at all. When we raised the issue, the owner acknowledged the behavior was "unacceptable" yet offered only a 25% discount - as if actively texting during a massage, ignoring repeated client requests, and delivering a substandard service were minor inconveniences. This wasn't just a bad massage. It was a complete lack of professionalism and accountability. We will not be returning.

We called the spa on the way there, and they told us that we will be responsible for paying a no show fee of over $500. (A price double the amount of our selected treatments). The people manning the front desk were unapologetic about our emergency situation. Not only did we have to deal with the FDNY, a traffic situation which our car presented, angry commuters, and a hefty tow price, we were charged for a service that was not provided due to an emergency situation. The manager on duty, was much more professional than the initial associate who responded. While, we understand we were no shows, we were dealing with an unforseen situation.

Oasis was my tried and true and it has tumbled downhill fast! Needless to say...that was my last visit...prior to this visit...I thought Oasis kept their prices by keeping things the same...please make some changes and get some more talented staff or train the ones you have...there's too much competition to have to suffer through a massage!

I'll give them an A for effort though although it looked nothing like the picture. The massage was amazing. She did a really great job. Most of my massages are pretty rough but she did a great job with light to medium pressure. I really liked the glass of champagne and the chocolate truffles. The private soak was nice but I really enjoyed the sauna. It was definitely a great experience. Came out feeling revitalized. My boyfriend really enjoyed the massage and the amenities.
