There’s a new unique luxurious spa experience in New York City and the best part is most people don’t even know about it yet! So, I’m sharing my experience so you can also be one of the first to experience this Travel Therapy bliss before everyone catches on.
I’m talking about the plush 11,000 square foot spa at the new Langham Place, Fifth Avenue in New York City that’s tucked away on the forth floor and feels a world away from Manhattan’s iconic bustling 5th avenue.
Before my treatment I was fortunate to sit down with Barry White, the Corporate Spa Director for Langham Hospitality Group’s exclusively spa concept, Chuan Spa and Langham Place, Fifth Avenue’s Director of Spa Gaylen Marano to learn more about all the new exciting things that are happening world-wide with Langham’s spas and with the new Langham spa right here in New York City.
Over the next year the New York spa is going to be adding some pretty incredible additions, including a focus on the Langham’s Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy and the Chuan Spa Academy that’s all about training therapists to use the most authentic, healing and empowering treatments.
Now here’s the great part. You can get some of these new innovative treatments right now, like I just did, no need to wait a year. My pick for not to miss is any of the Thalgo signature facials and body treatment using Thalgo products created by French experts specializing in marine beauty for the last four decades. Thalgo is all about using the incredible powers of the sea to help heal, rejuvenate and re-balance your mind, body and spirit. I love the luxurious silky smooth way the Thalgo products feel on my sensitive skin and I can feel the change in how my skin feels immediately.
The treatment I think is brilliant is called Body Elements. Here’s why it’s so great. I couldn’t decide on whether to get a deep tissue massage, which I was craving, or trying one of the signature Thalgo facials, but with the 90-minute Body Elements treatment you get both! Genius! Add this to therapist Claudia having that magical touch and taking the time to customize the treatment to fit my exact needs and this Langham spa experience was truly reenergizing, giving me exactly what I needed and wanted. Any stress I had when I arrived was long gone by the time I left.
There’s a full menu of treatments you can choose from and be sure to arrive early and plan to stay late because the spa’s Aqua Lounge has the coolest experiential showers ( think mood lighting and controls to let you set how the water falls) along with a heated vitality pool, a Turkish Style Hammam and a “chill” room to help ramp up your circulation. Trust me, for the ultimate Travel Therapy you’ll want to take advantage of it all!
