A Complete Journey of the Senses

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, New York transports guests into another world - a tranquil place focused on relaxation and serenity.  Personalized treatments or “journeys” are booked in blocks of time called TIME RITUALS with a two-hour minimum required.  (Hotel guests may book one-hour blocks.) 

Designed to restore one’s natural state of equilibrium, The Spa’s TIME RITUALS are performed in harmonious stages: Welcome, Purify, Nurture, Balance and Bliss. The amount of time booked determines how many phases can be experienced, and to what extent.  Each journey provides a peaceful passage calling upon the ancient traditions and techniques of Chinese, Ayurvedic, European, Balinese and Thai cultures.

The Mandarin Oriental Spa experience begins in the Tea Lounge where guests meet with a Spa Concierge who assesses their needs and develop an individual treatment program.  In the changing rooms, a selection of luxury personal amenities is provided in preparation for their treatments.

Guests are encouraged to arrive a minimum of 40 minutes prior to their scheduled treatment and fully immerse themselves in an oasis of heat and water:  the crystal steam room, blending heat and water through a delicately lit amethyst, and the vitality pool, where guests lie in hot mineral water on a suspended cushion of air while being gently massaged by hydrotherapy body jets.

After enjoying the water treatments, clients await their treatments in separate men’s and women’s Relaxation Lounges, where they can relax, read or meditate.  Each treatment commences with a soothing foot ritual during which the spa therapist assesses how the guest wishes to feel at the end of treatment and selects the appropriate aromatherapy oils to induce the desired effect.  The treatment then sequels into the individually tailored program.

At the conclusion of the treatment, guests are offered a complimentary choice of herbal or health beverages from the Tea Spa Collection and escorted back to the Relaxation Lounge.  Here, the subtle aroma of essential oils and therapeutic music helps maintain a deep meditative state, allowing the guest to float back to reality at their own leisurely pace.
