The Best Facial

by LeeLee74

My sister and I visited this spa for her birthday. It was an absolutely luxurious experience. We did the body scrub, 1 hr massage, and the facial treatments. All were first class. The facial is especially good--very cleansing, you leave there literally glowing.

Heaven in a tiny place called La Prairie

by amihaly

What an experience. I went for the full Privacy Reserve package which includes a facial, swedish massage, manicure, pedicure and a gourmet lunch (with champagne if you ask for it). It was amazing. The service people are so friendly and professional. They kept asking me for anything that I wanted. I also got a chance to try the La Prairie products and I am really impressed with the quality. The lay out of the spa is very beautiful and relaxing, if only perhaps a bit small on a busy Sunday. Overall I give this a 10/10... but be ready to spend a lot of money on the experience. My facial (inculding extractions) was glwoing without ANY usual marks on my face. The manicure and pedicure are fantastic. Rachel is extremely sweet and gives the best french manicure I've ever had in my life. I was extremely happy afterwards. Even my lunch was delicious and fresh. I would probably book during the week next time when its less crowded just because i like the serenity of a less crowded waiting room, but honestly, they do a good job and making everyone feel relaxed while waiting for their session to start.

• Pros: Fabulous facials, best manicure of my life, clean, calm, amazing products
• Cons: Small waiting area, that's about it

My facial...

by simsim

i went to the spa yesterday for a facial. while i loved the spa itself, and my facialist was a really great person, i am not so sure that i would return for a facial. my skin was not 'glowing' as other reviewrs said and this morning there were actualy some dry patches on my face. i was also unsure as to the level of extractions....perhaps it is that i am used to more extracting.

i was also not asked about beverages or music...all they had were 2 pitches of water and some fruit. they were very generous with samples, and i did buy some products as well. overall, it's a great environment and you will certainly be pampered by your therapist, so i do recommend it. however, if you are used to a more thorough facial, you may be disappointed.

• Pros: luxurious

Ultimate--and intimate--luxuries from one of beauty's most coveted brands.

by Sandra Ramani

Tucked away in the Ritz-Carlton Central Park, Swiss skin-care line La Prairie's first foray into the U.S. spa market is far above your typical hotel salon. A relaxed, upscale elegance abounds, as do distinctive details. Locker-room amenities, from toothbrushes to irons, anticipate every need; clients choose their own mood music, with CD requests noted for future visits; and complimentary snacks and beverages (from tea to champagne) are just an order away. Decadent facials and massages are among the best in town, though definitely on the pricey side; the $300, 90-minute skin transforming Caviar Firming facial--with sea proteins, extra massage and caviar eye pads--is one worth saving for. Expert therapists pamper with just the right touch, and unique packages target jet lag, aching feet, party prep and even men's spa needs.

What a mind blowing spa experience!!!

by michelle76

A group of friends and I went to the la prairie spa after a couples recommendation and they were right, service, luxury and beauty describes what we experienced. Upon making my reservation the receptionist recognized I was booking a group and began to ask several questions. Much to my surprise the spa warmly greeted us upon arrival and whisked us away to the lounge where they had champagne and gourmet munchies for us to enjoy. Our services were fantastic, and I was blown away when I saw Jennifer Aniston walking down the hallway of the spa!!!! I did not realize this is a celebrity hideaway. Upon departure the gracious staff had goodie bags for all of us and wished for our return. This is definitely a spa I will return to alone, with my spouse or even my mother!!!!!

a wonderful stay

by dlford613

While staying in NY this is a wonderful added benefit. After a day shopping all over town before an evening out the use of the spa was the icing on a beautiful day.
