La Prairie at the Ritz-Carlton Spa

04/16/2007 Posted 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

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

My Facial treatment at La Prairie was fabulous. The service was impeccable, and the products are one of the best if not the best. My skin was glowing for weeks. I will certainly recommend La Prairie Spa to anyone.

Had the most amazing time with my girlfriends!!! It was the perfect get away in the city. Everyone was so friendly and nice. I felt as if everyone knew me by name. The services are excellent. I have been to serveral spa's in the city and this by far is the most clean, professional and private. I highly recommend this to all my friends.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Great Service, Great Location

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!!!!!

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.

Upon my recent visit to the spa I was rather disappointed. I was not asked if I wanted anything to drink. People were sipping champagne and sodas. I was left to drink a glass of water. I was not asked what music I preferred, I had expected this since I had read that you are asked. I am a long time user of La Prairie products. The treatments I received were very good. Perhaps it was an oversight. Since I care more about the treatments/services provided I would return, and I still would recommend to anyone who is a La Prairie product user.

Pros: La Prairie Products, clean, nice changing rooms

Cons: expensive

I highly recommend the spa and the staff were unexpectably accomodating.
