Description

The easiest way to (temporarily) leave New York may be to step into the Greenwich Hotel’s Shibui Spa, where the lantern-lit interior isn’t just inspired by, but is actually constructed from the imported wooden beams of a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse. Don your Yukata robe and settle in for a massage featuring sake-soaked towels, a ginger-infused bath or a vigorous bamboo-and-lemongrass scrub. 377 Greenwich Street, thegreenwichhotel.com.
