Spa Chakra on Fifth New York

The ritzy Cornelia Day Resort is now called Spa Chakra on Fifth, though you’ll recognize the same staff and basic treatments. Fancy and full service, the spa also has a pleasant post-rub lounge for napping. David Evangelista holds court at the salon.

The Mayflower Inn & Spa New York

Less than two hours from NYC sits a decidedly chic Connecticut spa retreat. The Relais & Chateaux five-star, five-diamond accommodations include outdoor excursions, schmancy dining experiences, and enough relaxing to make you (almost) forget about New York altogether.

OC 61 Salon and Spa New York

Housed in a charming brownstone, the tranquil spot specializes in haircuts and color. But don’t hestitate to book an acupuncture facial or healing massage. Spend post-treatment time lazing out on the garden terrace.
