Editorial Review for Cornelia Day Resort – by Angela Gaimari
In Short
Despite being one of the largest day resorts in Manhattan and offering everything a glamour girl could want, this luxurious spa has an attention to detail even a perfectionist would praise. Snaky candlelit hallways lead to multiple stories of treatment rooms, a cozy library and the posh rooftop garden with a flowing watsu pool. Customize your experience between detoxifying algae wraps and anti-aging facials with champagne at the cafe or a tranquil nap.

I treated myself to Cornelia for my birthday and I don't think I could have given myself a better gift. It's pricey, but I'm sure you've heard that! It was worth it for me because I feel I paid for the experience rather than the actual services. Lunching on the rooftop deck in my suggly spa robe was priceless! The massage, mani and pedi were middle of the road good, but when I left, I felt so relaxed that the crowds on 5th Avenue didn't even phase me! I'm sure you can find services that are less expensive, but if you want a true spa experience, check out Cornelia. Treat yourself!
Pros: Posh, luxurious and pampering
Cons: Pricey

I took my boyfriend here for a 90 min couples massage on a Saturday morning. The staff was extremely nice and attentive and I liked how they had an attendent in the locker room to direct you where to go so you didn't have to 'figure it out'. We had 2 male masseuses, which was fine since they told us ahead of time. Now here's where it goes downhill. My masseuse asked me about pressure preference. I told him and before we even started he kept going on and on about how I need to tell him if the pressure was good. I said ok. He said, "don't just say ok you need to tell me". He repeated this at least 5 times to the point where my boyfriend said "trust me, she'll tell you". The massages for both of us were not that great, less than average actually. He kept doing some wanna be a healer thing by placing his hands on me and leaving them there for 10 minutes at a time. It was just weird. After the massage they both left the room for us to get dressed. For the first time in all the many spa treatments I've had I never had someone knock on the door after 5 minutes and open the door to see if we were coming out. I had always been told to take our time. Not only was this unprofessional but I was appauled that this man would open the door when a female was in the room putting her robe on. Not only that, a client should never feel rushed especially if the massages came to over $600 with tip. This was my first and last time there.
