Up Spa, New York

The Up Spa sets the stage for a nurturing, relaxing experience right from the moment you walk through the door. Even the air feels lighter here thanks to the presence of purifying Areca palm trees, which transform carbon dioxide back into oxygen. The subtle hint of lavender essence, meanwhile, suffuses the space with a calming vibe to get you in the right state of mind for what awaits.

Inside treatment rooms, professional massage therapists release all manner of tension with eight different treatments, which range from a soothing hot stone modality to the more pressure-heavy athletic balance massage. Of course, relaxation is only one part of what the staffers do here—they also perform a range of services designed to rejuvenate appearances. Beauty experts refresh complexions with facials, boost the flutter-ability of eyes with synthetic lashes, and create smiles sure attract the attention of mouth-model agents with teeth whitenings. They can even clear up blemishes on female nether regions using customized skincare products, masks, or herb-infused steams.
