Project Description
It’s no secret that New Yorkers (or frequent visitors; locals by association) all seem to have one thing in common: a love for keeping busy. Whether you find yourself in the city for work or for pleasure, every minute offers an opportunity of some sort. But with the fast-paced comes an equal need to decompress. Enter: the Shibui Spa. Upon your return to The Greenwich, unless your first instinct is to sweat the day out in the fitness center, you’ll likely find yourself wrapped in a 浴衣– Japanese bathrobe; yukata– under the roof of a 250-year-old farmhouse, reconstructed in the spa by Japanese craftsmen above a lantern-lit swimming pool. Or perhaps you still have that knot in your shoulder from pretending to throw the first pitch at tomorrow’s Yankees game (you never know who might be scouting, after all)… Schedule Shibui’s signature Omakase Ritual Massage, featuring ancient modalities from around the world. With an extensive menu of treatments ranging from facials to Onsen Rituals, there’s little in the way of escaping– in the words of Rosemary Clooney– the strain, traffic, and tension of the city.
Whether you top off your night at the ballet, a walk along the Hudson River Greenway, or find yourself headed straight to bed, there’s no doubt your dreams will be sweet at The Greenwich. Every bed in the hotel is completed by a handmade Savior mattress, favored by the late King Hassan II of Morocco, and turndown service does not disappoint. You’ll find your ensuite shimmering and equipped for a relaxing night routine. Prioritizing sustainability, The Greenwich uses aluminum packaging for their Red Flower soaps, lotions, and conditioner, while the shampoo comes in a bar form. Enjoy a bubble bath in a hand-carved soaking tub, a meditation in your private sauna (found in select suites and penthouses), or a long rain-style shower. You know you want to. Finally, next to your pressed and fluffed linens, a tall bottle of water awaits you alongside an aromatherapeutic mist for your skin and pillow. Go on, rest easy. You have a big day tomorrow.
