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 recommended.

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.
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 the Oriental Tea Lounge. 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.
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.
