Leave the hustle and bustle of Manhattan 35 floors below as you make your way up to the Spa at the Mandarin Oriental. You will soon be welcomed by breathtaking views of the city in an elegant and tranquil Asian inspired setting. Be sure to arrive early and enjoy the immersive three-pronged relaxation experience that is their Amethyst Crystal steam room, Experience shower (which combines various pressures) and Vitality pool. We were thrilled we did, because we can't imagine a more luxurious way to "prep" for a treatment. We think their deep tissue massage could be the best in the city – especially since it includes a conditioning hair treatment and massage.  If you have a special occasion or just feel like splurging, you can book their 650-square-foot VIP Spa Suite (the first of its kind in New York) equipped with an elevated bath, steam shower, fireplace and an ornate oriental bed. This five-star spa is the ultimate indulgence.
