The spa at Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown in Tribeca has officially opened its doors to the local neighbourhood, and aims to be a sanctuary of wellness in the heart of the city.

Designed by New York and Toronto-based Yabu Pushelberg, the spa features light, fresh and soothing design elements for an understated yet sophisticated finish: white tay wood walls, and a combination of charcoal-coloured European oak and travertine floors grace the various zones, while the seven treatment rooms feature petal-shaped coves above the tables.

Additional facilities include a nail room, eucalyptus steam room, relaxation room, outdoor terrace, 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness centre, sun deck, and 75ft (23m) indoor lap pool with stone-clad columns, wood screens and a custom scratched plaster wall-finish.

High technology, results-driven treatments and medi-aesthetic techniques blend with luxury natural products and ingredients including green caviar, chardonnay and gold. Product partners include Dr Burgener and Omorovicza, and the menu will continuously change and evolve in line with the seasons. In addition to body rituals and skincare, the spa also features Eastern-influenced massage offerings designed to promote balance.

Featured treatments include Luxury Green Caviar by Dr Burgener; The Vitaskin Ultrasound, which uses green caviar and gold trace elements to repair the skin; and Omorovicza's Purifying Mud Ritual, which uses mineral-rich moor mud from the thermal waters of Hungary to detox and relax.

“We have partnered with the best European brands to offer our guests and clients the most exclusive and bespoke experiences, tailor-made to their skin type,” said Tara Cruz, spa director. “Much like the colourful city we reside in, we unite influential cultures and remedies from around the world to create a haven of beauty and wellness. We look forward to welcoming our hotel guests and local residents for the ultimate pampering experience.”
