If you can afford it (or are in the mood to splurge!) the Spa at the Mandarin Oriental is THE most luxurious spa experience in Manhattan. It is on the 35th floor and all of the treatment rooms have incredible views of the city. It is incredibly quiet and tranquil--I didn't hear a sound during my massage, which is a wonderful treat in the noisy city. You are warmly greeted, showed your "itinerary" for the evening, and handed slippers before being led into the changing rooms, which also include the "heat experiences", hot and cold pools and a beautiful sauna. You receive a small ammenity kit to freshen up after your treatments and the locker facilities/lounge are absolutely elegant--fresh orchids stacked between the towels, immaculately clean and well-attended to, etc. My massause, for an 80 minute massage, was exemplary--she barely made a sound during the treatment, was diligent in keeping me gently covered, asked thoughtful questions prior to beginning about my goals, problem areas, etc, and most importantly was warm and kind. This is an expensive spa--$400 all in for an 80 minute massage--but it is far, far superior to other spa experiences I've had around the cityl
