What To Expect At A Hotel Spa

New York City hotels offer a wide range of services to their guests, but a number of them specifically cater to the traveler or local resident of either gender who wants to look and feel better. Regardless of whether you're in New York City on business or pleasure, choosing a relaxing treatment at a hotel spa can alleviate the stress from a challenging business day, a hectic shopping spree, or the long journey you took to get to Manhattan. Hotel guests in New York obviously want to look and feel their very best before an important business-related meeting, a romantic date, or before attending a special public event, such as a gala, a film screening, or any type of social gathering.

At any New York City hotel spa you can expect to be treated like a king or queen. You can also expect the décor was designed to transport you to another world, with beautifully-decorated sitting rooms, luxurious furniture, and unique fixtures, as well as treatment rooms created with the purpose of setting you at ease so that you can truly drift off into blissful relaxation during your spa visit.

New York Hotel spas invite you to experience a reprieve from your busy day with a well-deserved treatment that attends to your mind/body needs from head to toe. You can revive your spirit, indulge your senses and relax in comfort because a hotel spa here is meant to be experienced as an urban refuge, an oasis, a retreat, transporting guests far away from the troubles and stress of the city.

Typical Spa Services and Costs

Hotel Spas in New York City typically offer a soothing selection of signature services, classes, products and treatments, which create an experience that caters to the needs and desires of each guest. A partial list of traditional services at most hotel spas include massage, body wraps, facial treatments, manicures, pedicures, skin care treatments, hair removal, body scrubs, and detoxification facilities such as sauna and steam rooms.

Often (but not always) hotel spas in New York function in connection with state-of-the-art fitness centers, yoga classes, and meditation rooms. The services and facilities vary from hotel to hotel, so do read through our below hotel guide to ensure the services you desire are offered at your hotel's spa. For example, a huge hotel spa such as the one in the Mandarin Oriental—assuredly the most comprehensive hotel spa in New York City—offers more types of services than, for example, The Privé Spa at the SoHo Grand Hotel.

Although costs at New York Hotel spas fluctuate, generally speaking spa services and treatments range in price from $60 to $1500 depending on the type of treatment or treatment package you choose. Many New York hotel spas serve as day spas and offer clients package deals that sometimes take a full (and very relaxing!) day to perform.

Rights and Responsibilities at Hotel Spas

According to the Spa Code of Conduct developed by The International SPA Association and Resort Hotel Association, spa guests have specific responsibilities and rights that they should be aware of before booking an appointment.

As a spa guest it its your responsibility to:

1. Communicate your preferences, expectations and concerns
2. Communicate complete and accurate health information and reasons for your visit
3. Treat staff and other guests with courtesy and respect
4. Use products, equipment and therapies as directed
5. Engage in efforts to preserve the environment
6. Adhere to the spa's published policies and procedures

As a spa guest it is your right to:

1. A clean, safe and comfortable environment
2. Stop a treatment at any time, for any reason
3. Be treated with consideration, dignity and respect
4. Confidential treatment of your disclosed health information
5. Trained staff who respectfully conduct treatments according to treatment protocols and the spa's policies and procedures
6. Ask questions about your spa experience
7. Information regarding staff training, licensing and certification

Tipping at New York Hotel spas ranges from 15%-25%, depending upon on how well satisfied you are with your experience. After a session at a spa, to tip less than 15% or to pay no tip at all would be considered not only improper, but also rude. If you visit a hotel spa using a spa gift certificate, be sure to ask whether the gratuity is included; generally it is not. If not, you should calculate the cost of the gratuity and pay the front desk in cash. Most spas provide tip envelopes, so you can be assured of confidentiality and discretion in delivering your gratuity.
