    This place definitely has some good views of the city but overall I think it fails as a bathhouse. The layout is super confusing, the indoor water features weren't great, and the food is crazy expensive for its size and quality.

    This spot is great for the location and experience alone, however, I think I should get out the negatives during my visit just to get them out of the way and suggest a couple things if you plan to go. * I feel it was a bit over-crowded the day I went, sorta takes away from the beauty and relaxation of it all, waiting for people to move to get by, or a line for a steam room? That's absurd. In fact, I'm shocked anyone waits on a line, there's plenty of relaxation rooms as they call them and various saunas to dip into... a lot of it is silly to me because once I hit a sauna and steam room, I'm just bopping between those and the outdoor pools. (There should be hot tubs, but aren't. * Bring your own snacks, they provide you with a locker, so just set aside something you think you'll want because the food situation is bleak; you're either paying $50/p for a buffet (I don't know who wants to stuff themselves full of food when trying to relax at a spa) or you're getting a chicken salad wrap or little cups of cherry tomatoes and salami. * Don't count on the flops they provide, they suck and they pile up, you might lose yours to someone else, bring your own. (And always make sure you know exactly where you leave your robe hanging, we went on a day where robes were stacked three deep on the available hooks. Way too many people) My last little upset was that the entire last hour of my session, the steam room wasn't hot or steaming, there was another steam room around the corner but there wasn't any room for another human... Oh, and a 25 minute couples massage is an insane joke at $230.... 25 Minutes!! Hahaha GFY. Now that I was so negative, I almost don't have the energy to be positive, but I'll say it was worth it! It's a labyrinth of room after room of "relaxation" that I'd like to experience with less people gabbing over each other when the rooms are playing fkcing serene spa music you can't take a deep breath, close your eyes and HEAR. I think there was a room with tables to lay on and have water fall on you (that was so packed it had lines) and the room with the infa red lit beds never had an open spot either... so, really, all I enjoyed was the dry sauna, steam room, main overcrowded pools, and the seemingly secret side pool. The igloos were also impossible to snag. While this review sounds super negative, I enjoyed the day and still feel it was worth it. I just don't thing I'd go on a weekend ever again, I'd take a personal day or something, or hell, maybe I'll just work from the spa on a slow day.

    This might possibly be my favorite spa in NYC now. I love exploring all the different rooms since they have 2 connecting buildings, I went twice and realized there were spaces I didn't go to the first time! They do a healthcare worker discount 30% off and a birthday BOGO promotion as well. When you book a reservation online, they also include the ferry ticket to Govenor's Island as well, and you can pick your times to get there. The boat ride only takes 5 minutes from the city! Love the saunas, outdoor pools (heated in the winter!), and the many many rooms (and secret rooms)! I really love finding little nooks where there's free coffee, tea, apples, apple cider, etc! The buffet lunch was full of variety, and for $44, it's a better value to me than their $28 sandwich... Just do the buffet! Every hour on the hour they have a foot mask ritual in the lavender room so you're handed a mask for your feet to soak in, and they give you a towel at the end to wipe it off. There's also a room of comfy huge baby carriages where they do a seaweed eye mask ritual every hour too, and they hand you a piece of dried seaweed to snack on. Lots of moisturizers, creams everywhere for you to freely use!

    Fun way to spend a day but a very lukewarm spa experience. Amazing view of the NYC skyline Buffet Very small selection, foods are at weird temperatures, and batches taste inconsistent. The salmon was ice cold, chicken was dry and room temperature, pasta cold-- only thing warm was the soup which tasted great my first time but when I went for seconds it lacked taste, like they forgot to add salt. Weirdly, they have a charcuterie station with a bunch of meats but no hard cheese. Food does not taste as good as it looks Saunas None of the rooms really felt hot enough where I felt like I was in a sauna. Water experiences like the waterfall and Vichy shower had tepid water pressure. None of the rooms were very memorable, they just varied in temperature by maybe 5-10 degrees Overall experience Quite fun! But if you've been to other spas, you may be a bit disappointed.

    This experience was truly amazing, from the steam rooms, sauna, outdoor pools and various indoor aquatic relaxation rooms I had an amazing time. I missed out on doing the massage because of time but I will definitely be back. Thank you to the staff who took great care of us.

    I recently came back for my second visit this year and still just absolutely adore the experience they curate here. I always leave feeling so relaxed and content, I'm convinced this place puts a magical spell on me each time! When booking you can select a limited time slot or spring for an all day pass, trust me, the daily pass is worth it! Then you'll get an email to book your complimentary ticket for the ferry. Upon arrival I was shown to a kiosk to check in, presented ID, linked my payment for purchasing food & bev, and received my wristband that had my locker number. The locker room I was assigned this time was more spacious and had more showers & blowdryers than the other women's room. I also appreciate that there were face & body products available for use in case you forgot your own. When you open your locker you'll see a tote bag with a robe, 2 towels, and a pair of flip flops (though the sizing you receive is completely random so I bring my own which also makes them easier to identify when putting them back on after being in the sauna or pool). My one gripe is having to pay for additional towels when the entry fee is already quite high, I just think this stifles the experience and makes it not feel as high end. My strategy is to do all the dry stuff first (sauna, relaxation rooms, red light, etc.) and save the water activities (pool, aqua level, steam room) for the end of my experience that way I'm not sitting around all day in a soggy swimsuit and paying for multiple towels. Overall the spa is beautifully appointed, however this time I did see some worrying signs of wear - many saunas have shifting/loose floor boards and the ceiling beams on the aqua level had peeling coating and rust spots. Light refreshments are offered throughout the spa (flavored water, apple cider, coffee and tea, apples, and other small offerings from attendants) plus a buffet ($) and a bar area ($). I was happy to see they finally started offering some à la carte sandwiches as well, a buffet is just not enticing to me, I would love to see some lighter fare on the menu like a fruit plate or yogurt bowl. During my visit there were a few additional experiences like a group meditation with under eye patches and a guided foot massage which I much appreciated as they made the experience feel slightly more luxe. I love how many little nooks you can find all over the property for relaxation and unique experiences. I ended up spotting a swing from inside of a sauna and immediately went to find it! Beds, rocking chairs, and cushions, there are plenty of places to get comfy and read a book or meditate. The views are stunning and the overall experience feels luxurious, relaxing, and restorative. I already can't wait to come back!

    We have been to QC Spa at least 3 times before and had a lovely time. But this year, my partner, whose birthday is on Jan 26th tried to do the birthday buy one get one free promo and we were denied. Last year, in the fine print it said if you make a birthday promo reservation it has to be within 30 days of your birthday so I thought that same rule applied this year but it had changed and nobody let us know that until we were already there which isn't an easy place to get to. At first, the one woman helping people get checked in told us that you can use the promo seven days before and seven days after your birthday date but it has to be in the same month. This doesn't make sense if you have a birthday at the end of the month because then the 7 days bleeds into the next month which I told her and she was like a robot and just kept repeating that rule. Then we talked to a manager with blond hair who kept talking over us and acting like we were stupid. She rolled her eyes. She told us the 30 days was never the case and she's been there for three years. She wouldn't listen to what I had to say and didn't seem to believe that we had been there before. So we went outside because it was really warm and stuffy and I got upset like we were there to share a rare day off and was being treated badly. We look up the past trip and low and behold, I was right. His birthday is on Jan 26th, I made the reservation on Feb 4th 2025 and it was for a Feb 19th 2025. Last year, they let us in. No problem. So we came back in, and my partner showed them the proof. Another older woman with long brown hair also came up with a reason why we were allowed to come in last year. After tag team yelling at us with the blond lady, she suddenly "remembered" that last year there was a power outage and SHE gave us an exception because they had to close early and reschedule people. We were both like "no, that didn't happen."Nobody mentioned a power outage last year or that they were giving us an exception. Then she totally changed her answer and said last year the person who let us in (who suddenly wasn't her) doesn't work there anymore and giggled. I was like didn't you just say you let us in?? Like what? Usually, when someone gives multiple excuses it means they are lying. For this year, 2026, I booked it for Tuesday Feb 24th but the blizzard happened the day before. Where 19.7 inches of snow fell and a snow like this hasn't happened in 20 years. Places were already hard to get to because of the snow, add in the fact that the QC is on Governors Island which is a mostly abandoned island and doesn't have a lot of people or activity that you have to take a ferry to. Would the sidewalks even be cleared? I didn't know what the conditions would be like or if they would even be open. I mentioned that we had booked it for Tuesday Feb 24th but had to reschedule for Thursday Feb 26th and the brown haired woman smirked and was like "well we were open on Tuesday." And she said it in a way that implied that she would have given us an exception but if that were the case, it totally negates the 7 day rule so why even mention it? Overall, they were really nasty to us. Didn't care at all, kept talking over us, made up multiple excuses as to why they let us in before but not this time. They clearly don't give a damn about their customer. I used to recommend the QC to my friends and they would come. We loved it there with all the options for saunas and steam rooms and their outside pools with an amazing view. Despite how they allow phones in the bathing and sauna areas so anyone can film you. I also never liked the food (it's bland, mostly tiny and overpriced). And now after being treated so poorly while also being lied to and talked over I see no reason to return. After being treated this way, I wanted to go home and cry. But the day was young and my partner was like let's just go somewhere else. Luckily, we live in a big city where spa's are trending. So we tried a new spa and had a great time where no one treated us like crap.

    A friend booked this for our group of 10, and honestly, I had never even heard of Governors Island before this trip. We got to the Battery Maritime Building at Slip 7 just before 10 a.m., and the line for the ferry was already long. FYI: if you have a reservation at QC Spa, the ferry is free. Boats run every 30 minutes, and the ride itself is only about 7 minutes (great news for people like me who get seasick--it's literally just across the water). They don't require prepayment when you make the reservation, which was nice, you pay at the front desk upon arrival. We opted for the 5-hour pass ($124). Check-In & Lockers Check-in was a bit of a drag. Like other reviewers mentioned, the staff didn't really explain anything about the amenities. We were basically pointed to our lockers and left to figure things out. At first, we were told the 2nd floor was women's lockers, then directed to the 3rd floor "for men." Turns out the 3rd floor has both men's and women's lockers. Confusing! The lockers themselves are a little tricky. Pro tip: Type in your 5-digit code + press V to set it. To lock, hold the door closed while entering your code + press V again. Don't let go until you hear the click. Each guest receives a tote bag with a robe, two towels, jelly flip-flops (not comfy at all), and a wristband. What they don't tell you is that you need to add your credit card during check-in to use the wristband for purchases. Otherwise, you'll have to carry your card or phone around for food and drinks. Pools, Loungers & Wellness Rooms By the time we got outside, most of the daybeds were already claimed. Lounge chairs were available but not the most comfortable. Still, we scored front-row seats with a gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline. The outdoor heated pools with bubbling jets were the highlight of the day where we spent most of our time there. Inside, there are supposedly about 20 themed wellness rooms, but again, no one explained this at check-in and there's no map. We only found out because friends stumbled upon them. Some we tried: Dry sauna Ice room Water bed room Vichy shower Cold water bucket "challenge" Foot bath (never quite figured out how it worked--lots of guests looked equally frustrated, and honestly, I think ours wasn't working at all). Would've been so much better with clear instructions or staff guidance, instead of wasting time experimenting. Food & Drinks Cocktail game was strong. I stuck to Aperol and Limoncello spritzes, both solid. There are water stations everywhere, which is great. Food-wise, I had the tuna wrap with chips (just okay), and for dessert, the chocolate whiskey ice cream (yes, it has booze, but not overpowering, it was actually good!). We skipped the buffet since we weren't that hungry, and based on other reviews, sounds like we didn't miss much. Overall Experience Despite the hiccups with staff communication, locker confusion, and lack of guidance for the wellness rooms, it was still a fun experience with friends. The view from the pools alone makes it worth trying at least once. Next time, I'd probably try the sunset pass, since I've heard it's a vibe and would give me time to explore the island during the day. Bonus: they gave us a floral gift card with $40 off a future fall or winter visit, which is a nice touch.

    We've been coming here for the past few years, usually in hubby's birthday month since he's a summer baby. Our first experience was amazing and it's only gotten better, especially since they've expanded. We always book early and during the week when there's less of a chance of a lot of patrons. We always book the first reservation with the birthday special so we can scope out our perfect spot with a view by the pool. The check-in process is seamless now that they not only have in-person assistance at the counter, but also multiple kiosks to accommodate a large amount of people entering at once. The locker rooms are still spacious and clean. They've brought back the complimentary totes and still provide spa products. During my visit they were in the process of renovating part of the pool sitting area. It looked like landscaping. I'm unsure if they have completed that. As previously mentioned, they have opened their second building, which houses the new restaurant and a few levels of additional experiences, including mini events, relaxation rooms with water beds, and optical illusion interactive pieces. They now also offer a sit down restaurant with buffet option for $44. There's an option for Sunset Bites between 6-9p, when you get their aperitivo tray free with any drink purchase. This deal is only available if you pay full price, meaning you can not combine it with a discounted admission (i.e. Birthday Promo). I really wish I knew about the buffet ahead of our visit or at least during our check-in, because we would have taken advantage of that. Whenever we visit, we usually stay the whole day, leaving near closing. Having the buffet would mean we could stay longer and not have to worry about grabbing dinner afterwards, before heading home. The ferry is always cute. We drive down and park across the street. The price isn't too bad, especially for the entire day. It pays to have a small breakfast ahead of your booking time so that you're not dying of hunger before you get a chance to eat at the spa. QC will always be our annual relaxation destination every year. I always tell fiends so we can take advantage of the birthday special. You're able to stay the entire day with that special, so it's definitely worth it. The staff is amazing, pleasant, and helpful.

    5 stars for all the water related spa rooms and the lavender room, but mixed thoughts about the other features We used my birthday to go since you get 1 free admission that month - I think it was worth it at that price point but definitely don't think I would go full price. The bottom level of both buildings have the water related spa rooms (waterfall, jets, vechi baths/scrub, steam rooms and the outdoor pool). Those were definitely the highlights and where we spent most of our time. They also have a guided foot massage in the lavender room every hour which we enjoyed as well. Other than that the spa felt a bit gimmicky - lots of whimsical rooms to lie around but a lot of the same thing. The little lotions and scrubs all around were a nice touch but not sure if they were the best quality. Another downside is they mention there are snacks, coffee and tea to enjoy - tea machjne was broken and the snacks were apples. I would recommend they add more attention to this - it's a simple thing that would significantly boost the overall experience. They should also place these on every floor rather than having to search for it at the bottom of one building Another downside is the lack of a map or general direction - I think that's the theme of this place but it was confusing. I'd recommend everyone start at the bottom of the buildings with all the water rooms/pool and then end with all the calm/relax rooms, lavender foot massage etc or else you are washing all those lotions off Overall glad I went because of the deal and would recommend checking it out once.

    TDLR: Very cool experience that is unique compared to the typical spa day. 3 stars if you want actual relaxation, 4 stars if you want a fun experience with your friends. Phones are allowed and you don't have to stay quiet. You take the ferry there which is super fast, less than 10 minutes. Once you arrive they have everything for you - they provide flip flops, 2 towels, 1 bathrobe, a bag and plastic bags for your wet bathing suit. You get an assigned locker and can choose your code. Bring sunglasses and a water bottle. You need your ID at check in. I found the property confusing to navigate. There are two main pools that look onto the NYC skyline and some pool chairs in grass to hang out. The building is kind of a maze, but there are rooms where you can sit in fun spinning chairs, lay in a water bed, do a foot massage, sit in a cold room and rub ice on yourself, get an eye mask and eat seaweed snacks, sauna, steam room, etc. You can buy a drink but you can't have it in or around the pool. They accept a credit card or apple pay. As I mentioned before, this isn't the super relaxing spa experience that you might expect. Everyone is talking and has their phones out. People are taking photos in the pools. So, if you were planning on quiet relaxation, this is not the place.

    The perfect little city getaway. Loved all the sauna rooms and the pools. The spa is rather small though. A 25min massage is $100. Not sure what you can feel in 25mins for that much money. The food buffet looked bland so I didn't try it and the food available to order was equally as unappealing. Go just for the saunas, scrubs, and pools. I recommend a weekday also.

    While visiting Governor's Island in NYC, I decided to treat myself to an evening of wellness for $136. This price is for the evening and you have access to many of the amenities including the pools at the spa. Some of the features include Magnificent views of the city Fun treatment areas that I have not seen at other spas. Heated outdoor pools Igloos with beautiful views Saunas Fantastic ladies room filled with great feminine products The cafe is mediocre at best so I would skip the food but overall this was a great experience and I would go back. Make sure you don't miss the ferry when the spa is closing because you won't have an alternative way to leave the island.

    See all

    More like a water park for grownups. The food was underwhelming. The different steam rooms and saunas were cool.

    Are there any indoor water spaces or just the outdoor pools?

    The only pools are their heated outdoor pools (one is actually a bit more secret and less crowded) but there are also some massive water rooms, water tables, etc.

    Are the outdoor pools only for summer or are they heated for winter too? Is there any info on the temperature for the saunas?

    They have them summer or winter. Some are heated some aren't. When I went it was cold windy and drizzling and the outdoor pool was still available.

    Do they take Apple Pay?

    Yes. You can tap to pay. They've updated their check-in system with automated computer monitors. It was seamless.

    The birthday promo is not available online as designated through the website, how do I book it?

    It is, there is an option to select birthday promo on their website.

    Is there Wi-Fi?

    Yes. They had WiFi through the spa facility. For free

    Since the birthday promo isn't being honored in August 2023 but will be honored in September 2023, does that mean you can book any time in September?

    I heard about this place on Saturday February 26, 2022. So I looked into it and the reviews were…read morequite good. I called forvam appointment for Sunday the 27th and they had availability for my two friends and I. When I called I spoke with Kristen (sp), who was very patient answering all my questions. Upon arrival I met Kristen and the other staff, the reviews were right SUPER NICE. I had such a relaxing time all that was needed was a nice massage. I had never done floatation therapy until today and will definitely return for more treatments. I was highly stressed upon arrival but after the infrared sauna then then the floatation therapy, I was totally relaxed as were my friends. This is such a find in NYC. Thank you for a wonderful experience. The place is exceptionally clean too. I felt very comfortable even with COVID still with us.

I've only tried the float therapy here so far. The float rooms are located in the bottom floor down this very steep staircase, but inside it is nearly completely soundproof (or as soundproof as one can get in the middle of Midtown...). The experience is very relaxing, as you get a huge private room to shower and then float in. The tubs are also really big so you don't feel claustrophobic. I appreciate the amenities as well, like lotion and little packets of Vaseline to cover up cuts. You get plenty of time to shower before and after your appointment so you do not feel rushed at all. Staff is very knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. They do not try to upsell you on stuff and kind of just leave you to do your own thing, which I really appreciate.

    This was my first time trying a 'salt room'. I went in with an open mind, and over the years have…read moretried a number of alternative therapies. On this one, I can't say I'm convinced it does anything. Sure, the overall space is nice and 'zen'. The salt room itself, very 'pretty' with all the various white/ivory/peach/pink/coral/orange shades of the salt walls. The feeling of salt crystals under your bare feet? Nice. Relaxing chairs to sit in. But at the end of the 30 minute session, did I feel anything special beyond the fact that I just 'relaxed' in a pretty room for 30 minutes? No. Note that the salt room can also hold up to three clients at a time, which means they have the potential to charge up to $87 for three people, for just a 30-minute period. That's $174 per hour for a room that's filled with salt. Where no personal or hands-on service is provided...just clients 'sitting' in a room. I guess they also disperse 'saline aerosol' into the room while you are sitting in there. I'm not exactly sure what that is, or how it's supposed to be beneficial to you but then it begs the question...is it the saline aerosol that benefits you and/or some type of 'energy' that is supposed to come from the salt itself in the room? I don't know...I just have to wonder if this salt room thing is nothing more than an (unproved) trend that they are going to milk for all it's worth, until the next wellness trend comes along. When I first arrived and was eventually directed to the room, even though they knew it was my first time there, I was given no real direction or expectation...just told to go on in the room. (Typically you'd expect some type of introductory language...'we pipe saline aerosol into the room...this provides XYZ, etc'). I also found it odd that at the end of the 30-minute session, the woman working the desk simply came to the room and opened the door without warning. No knock, no 'bell' to let me know the session was over...just her, suddenly opening the door. (Typically at personal service places like that, they would knock on the door first, or ask if it's ok to enter, and especially considering I was in the room all alone, i.e., maybe I was in the middle of taking a weird selfie when she just opened the door?) Maybe next time I'll give the infrared sauna a try and see how that goes...but as for the salt room and just sitting in there, I don't think I'd spend my money on that again. It so happens that at the time, I was starting to feel quite sick with a bad cold. Other reviews here seemed to suggest they felt 'relief' from a cold. I felt no difference in anything, after my salt room session.

    There were 3 plush chairs in the salt room. It was very bright and warm. The session later just…read moreunder 30 minutes. By the time I was relaxed enough the session was over. However, I enjoyed the experience. I would frequent Modrn Salt and explore the other services they offer if I lived or worked in the area.

The spa floor is on the third floor of the Howard Hotel, and upon entering--you're promptly greeted by the concierge and a super lush and cooling lobby. When you check in with the clerk in the hallway, (who was super nice btw), you have the option to sign some waivers, but I save some time by signing documents on my phone on the way. The whole floor is rather zen, except for the cleaners you can hear outside your room. You're welcomed in by refreshing scents, think Byredo or OUAI. We booked the 1 hour dose for two and were promptly ushered to our private room, which included the infared sauna centered and the adjacent bathroom to it, with high quality hair products (Redken Acidic Line), Peter Thomas Roth skincare products, and a tea tree body wash. Included was a hair dryer, some face masks, and some takeaways provided by some of the sponsors they're currently working with (eye masks, etc). Staff started the timer for an hour and we were left to our own devices in the dim, soothingingly calm lighted room. You are able to play your own music if you connect to the speakers but I thought it was fun to just vibe out to their own chill techno zen-yourself-out music. I loved how the sauna experience came with some cool wet towels and face wipes, as well as a ice cool water canister in the corner to refill as you please. The sauna itself was exceptionally clean and well kept. Since I don't experience this often, I found it most tolerable when I took frequent breaks outside by walking around or just refreshing myself with the towels provided. I was piqued when the staff notified us afterwards that there's a 15% discount when you book your next spa day with them right after your appointment, and that deal can be started anytime you come in. I felt refreshed for the rest of the day, despite being in this heatwave and perusing around LES/Chinatown afterwards (which is usually rather overstimulating and sweat inducing). I'll def be back--the time passes rather slowly, and it felt like one of those little luxuries that set the pace for the rest of the day. Exceptional experience with friendly staff, upscale facility, and affordable cost.

He had planned an evening of theatre, but I absolutely enjoy a chill evening+homemade brunch and wellness activities. He's been to AIRE prior, and I've had many massages locally in LA prior and always opt for the hot stone massage, this time couples massage which is what we did. It was cozy, relaxing, decompressing, and aromatic! Esp, on a snowy, 16 degrees outside wintery kinda Xmas holiday season. What a delight! We began our evening walking from the West Village, then upon entering Aire being greeted with warm tea my absolute fav drink besides an iced matcha. We were given wristbands and headed to our keyless entry lockers to robe up and descend into the jacuzzi, sauna, and cold plunge pools. It Feels like entering a gorgeous gothic cave. Strung abt are hundreds of real candles+exposed brick walls. Something we don't have in earthquake prone LA. Truly a romantic, and relaxing ambiance. After the messages, we grabbed our green juices and headed up to shower and dry the hairs on our heads with all the best products and Dyson hair equipment. Not lost on me. Thanks for a wonderful HBD evening, into night. What a beautiful, relaxing, healthy experience. It's the best, truly! Merry Christmas guys.

    I've been back to AIRE dozens of time since my original review in 2013 (both TriBeca and uptown,…read morebut mainly TriBeCa location). For the most part, we have always enjoyed our experience - it never felt super crowded and the pools were always nice and relaxing to enjoy, as well as the steam room located in the center of the pools. It's a beautiful space. Massages continue to be mixed however --- my husband always wants a harder massage, while I ask for a lighter touch. He claims they never go as hard as he wants. My last massage there was fantastic. They renovated the space last year, and have run some promos recently and on our last visit it was noticeably more crowded, more than I had ever experienced before. I can only guess it is due to these two factors. We had an hour long massage, which I was extra happy about because I would've been frustrated being in those packed pools for the full 90 mins (massage was good, see above). The steam room was packed, some pools filled with large groups of people, etc. And it was tough finding space at the vanity to get ready afterward, which I'd also never experienced before. Add to this that they were fixing one of the new plunge pools while we were there, and during our massage they twice dropped tools resulting in very loud sounds which echoed into massage rooms which were located nearby. I don't think it was a wise choice to have that work done while guests were there, considering the setting of tranquility they are trying to create. Considering all the above, we have decided to take a break from AIRE, at least the TriBeca location. I brought these issues to the attention of management there and they have apologized with a discount.

I'd recommend this for sure and will be back next time I'm in nyc.

My friends and I wear sauna hats to protect it. They also have an "ice" bath that is very cold. 2 other steam rooms. The staff is very friendly.

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.
