    The Floatarium is life. I had the Signature Wine Experience which includes (among other things) a wine bath, charcuterie board, wine, scalp massage and body massage services (budget $750 pp). It was unique, relaxing and soothing. Outside of Japan, this is one of the few places one can receive this particular treatment. The staff are generally cordial and the environment is cavernous and dimly lit giving it a tranquil vibe. Cell phones are not aloud and signs the read "silence" are posted throughout the space. They also limit how many patrons are present at once, so a more boutique - quality experience comes with the higher pricepoint. Overall 4/5

    Aire Ancient Baths - Tribeca Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Aire Ancient Baths - Tribeca

    What is the recommended tip for a 45 minute massage? It's part of the 2-hour experience, but how do you tip for just the massage?

    You tip at the front desk after getting dressed again at the end of your session. They'll be happy to take it from you then, via credit card. And a $40-50 tip seems reasonable, if it's a good massage.

    Is leaving gratuity normal when booking a appointment or should I do it afterwards?

    Always after.

    How much is the cost? do I need to book before I come in here?

    Booking in advanced is probably best not sure if walk in's are welcomed. And the prices vary on what service you get. Massage + baths. Or just massage or just bath. If you go in the website they detail everything out for you.

    Is the wet sauna cube open again?

    The steam room? Yes!

    Must women wear tops in the baths?

    Yes you must! However during the massage you can remove your top and bottom if you like and they will warm up your wet bathing suit.

    I booked an 8pm Bath with Massage. It says my time frame is 8pm-10pm, as it should but I also noticed that their closing time is 9pm. Does anyone know how this work ? Will our appointment be cut short?

    They close at 11, last available time for appointment is 9

    Do you share the pools with other people even with restrictions in place?

    It depends on your negotiation with the Aire Management

    If you buy only the thermal bath packet ,how much time are you allowed to stay there?

    90 minutes without massage

    Is photography allowed?

    No phones allowed, no photography allowed

    Are phones allowed here?

    Nope, no cellphones allowed! They have lockers you can leave them in!

    I'm visiting from Atlanta soon. My Bf has zero interest. Is there a sports bar nearby or some other man friendly activity?

    Try break bar, where you can break your glasses/bottles after consumption

    Is this space Clothing optional?

    It is not. Everyone wears a swimsuit in the baths.

    Hi, I heard each visit is limited to 2 hours and there's no way to extend? Besides booking a massage. Is this true?

    My daughter booked our appointment but did not say she was limited to only 2 hours. However she booked the baths, body scrub and body massages for a total of 150 minutes! I hope this helps!

    Could someone enlighten me on their experience here?

    I really enjoyed my experience here. Its very calming and relaxing. There are several different pools ranging from hot, warm, salt, jacuzzi style, and 2 cold plunges. You move to the pools you want at your own pace. You have 2hrs in the pools and… 

    Are all the massages done on marble or is there an option for one on a massage table? Im worried the marble will be uncomfortable.

    Not sure where you heard that from but I know for a fact all massage are done on a massage table that's nice padded.

    Most of the reviews seem to be by women. Do dudes go here? I don't want to be the odd man out (literally.)

    Yes! I'd say 40-50% men!

    Did they stop having the live flamenco band?

    No live band

    I'm traveling in New York for the weekend, want to try this spa but do not have bathing suite with me on the trip, is it a must?

    Yes, bathing suits are mandatory. The spa is co-ed.

    Has anyone been able to take their phones with them? Does staff walk around and check on you? How do you know when your time is up?

    I haven't seen anyone with a cell phone there. I think to protect others privacy and not to make anyone feel uncomfortable. There are instances where you MAY get a glimpse of someone fully naked after changing for a massage or getting ready for… 

    Is there a steam room?

    Yes - the steam room is glass enclosed in the center of the space. Gets nice and hot. The baths are the highlight of the experience tho'

I've only tried the float therapy here so far. The float rooms are located in the bottom floor down this very steep staircase, but inside it is nearly completely soundproof (or as soundproof as one can get in the middle of Midtown...). The experience is very relaxing, as you get a huge private room to shower and then float in. The tubs are also really big so you don't feel claustrophobic. I appreciate the amenities as well, like lotion and little packets of Vaseline to cover up cuts. You get plenty of time to shower before and after your appointment so you do not feel rushed at all. Staff is very knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. They do not try to upsell you on stuff and kind of just leave you to do your own thing, which I really appreciate.

    I was really excited to visit King Spa in Palisades Park while I was in the tri-state area. I had…read morebeen to the King Spa in Niles, IL several times and absolutely loved it, so I was expecting a similar relaxing experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling completely disappointed and more stressed than relaxed. I went on a Monday morning hoping to avoid crowds and have a peaceful day. Things started off on the wrong foot almost immediately. While I was simply checking the size of the uniform, holding it up to see if there was a difference in the width, an employee came over and snatched the second pair out of my hand as if I was trying to take something I shouldn't have. It was not a great way to start when I had barely gotten in the door. Next, the layout was also really confusing. The spa is spread across multiple floors with different sections and stairways, but no one explained where anything was or how to navigate the space. I spent a lot of time in the morning trying to figure out where I was and it felt like I was nosing around someone else's house: uncomfortable. The biggest issue, though, was communication. A woman in the locker room offered my niece and me a deal for two massages for $140 ($70 each) and asked me to send the money through Zelle. I sent $170, including what I thought was a generous tip of over 20%. She arranged the appointment, but I didn't confirm what type of massage I wanted. I foolishly assumed they would ask before starting. We had lunch beforehand - the food was delicious and the portion was huge. Unfortunately, they don't offer to-go boxes, so I needed to reschedule our massages in order to finish my meal. Before even finishing my meal, I went to the massage counter to see if we reschedule our appointments. A younger patron helped translate at the massage desk, but she needed my time slot and took it for herself. She told me the woman would help me reschedule and then left. When I tried to figure out my new time, the interaction felt rushed and dismissive. I was given time without being asked if it worked for me, and when I asked about other options, I was told there were none. I would have cancelled but had already paid, so I took the L. When it was finally time for the massage, we were taken back without anyone asking what type of massage we wanted. I realized my mistake because it was a much more intense massage style and is not my preference. At that point though, after so many rushed and uncomfortable interactions, I honestly didn't feel comfortable advocating for myself to tell them I wanted reflexology. The final issue happened while I was changing before leaving. The same woman who arranged the massage came over and told me I hadn't paid enough tip. I was confused because... it was a tip. She told me I owed another $20 and (to add insult to injury) that I couldn't get my license back from the front desk until I paid. That brought the tip to over 35% on a service I didn't choose and didn't enjoy. I came to King Spa looking for rest and relaxation, but instead left feeling like I had spent my hard-earned money somewhere that never quite felt comfortable and certainly not welcomed.

    This is my second time here and I have another great experience! The space is clean, well…read moremaintained and the food is absolutely delicious.

On this one, I can't say I'm convinced it does anything. Sure, the overall space is nice and 'zen'. The salt room itself, very 'pretty' with all the various white/ivory/peach/pink/coral/orange shades of the salt walls. The feeling of salt crystals under your bare feet? Nice. Relaxing chairs to sit in. But at the end of the 30 minute session, did I feel anything special beyond the fact that I just 'relaxed' in a pretty room for 30 minutes? No. Note that the salt room can also hold up to three clients at a time, which means they have the potential to charge up to $87 for three people, for just a 30-minute period. That's $174 per hour for a room that's filled with salt. Where no personal or hands-on service is provided...just clients 'sitting' in a room. I guess they also disperse 'saline aerosol' into the room while you are sitting in there. I'm not exactly sure what that is, or how it's supposed to be beneficial to you but then it begs the question...is it the saline aerosol that benefits you and/or some type of 'energy' that is supposed to come from the salt itself in the room? I don't know...I just have to wonder if this salt room thing is nothing more than an (unproved) trend that they are going to milk for all it's worth, until the next wellness trend comes along. When I first arrived and was eventually directed to the room, even though they knew it was my first time there, I was given no real direction or expectation...just told to go on in the room. (Typically you'd expect some type of introductory language...'we pipe saline aerosol into the room...this provides XYZ, etc'). I also found it odd that at the end of the 30-minute session, the woman working the desk simply came to the room and opened the door without warning. No knock, no 'bell' to let me know the session was over...just her, suddenly opening the door. (Typically at personal service places like that, they would knock on the door first, or ask if it's ok to enter, and especially considering I was in the room all alone, i.e., maybe I was in the middle of taking a weird selfie when she just opened the door?) Maybe next time I'll give the infrared sauna a try and see how that goes...but as for the salt room and just sitting in there, I don't think I'd spend my money on that again. It so happens that at the time, I was starting to feel quite sick with a bad cold. Other reviews here seemed to suggest they felt 'relief' from a cold. I felt no difference in anything, after my salt room session.

    There were 3 plush chairs in the salt room. It was very bright and warm. The session later just…read moreunder 30 minutes. By the time I was relaxed enough the session was over.

The spa floor is on the third floor of the Howard Hotel, and upon entering--you're promptly greeted by the concierge and a super lush and cooling lobby. When you check in with the clerk in the hallway, (who was super nice btw), you have the option to sign some waivers, but I save some time by signing documents on my phone on the way. The whole floor is rather zen, except for the cleaners you can hear outside your room. You're welcomed in by refreshing scents, think Byredo or OUAI. We booked the 1 hour dose for two and were promptly ushered to our private room, which included the infared sauna centered and the adjacent bathroom to it, with high quality hair products (Redken Acidic Line), Peter Thomas Roth skincare products, and a tea tree body wash. Included was a hair dryer, some face masks, and some takeaways provided by some of the sponsors they're currently working with (eye masks, etc). Staff started the timer for an hour and we were left to our own devices in the dim, soothingingly calm lighted room. You are able to play your own music if you connect to the speakers but I thought it was fun to just vibe out to their own chill techno zen-yourself-out music. I loved how the sauna experience came with some cool wet towels and face wipes, as well as a ice cool water canister in the corner to refill as you please. The sauna itself was exceptionally clean and well kept. Since I don't experience this often, I found it most tolerable when I took frequent breaks outside by walking around or just refreshing myself with the towels provided. I was piqued when the staff notified us afterwards that there's a 15% discount when you book your next spa day with them right after your appointment, and that deal can be started anytime you come in. I felt refreshed for the rest of the day, despite being in this heatwave and perusing around LES/Chinatown afterwards (which is usually rather overstimulating and sweat inducing). I'll def be back--the time passes rather slowly, and it felt like one of those little luxuries that set the pace for the rest of the day. Exceptional experience with friendly staff, upscale facility, and affordable cost.

I was worried that because I had arrived late, I would eat up some of my massage time. No siree! They moved my massage to start when I was ready to begin. I booked the 90 minute Nuansa classic massage. You know how some places start the clock before you've sat down and finish the massage early (aka you pay for an hour and it's only about 45 minutes)? Well! That's not the case here! I got all 90 minutes of my massage. The massage itself: not to be believed. Lukkana started by saying "time to relax". And boy did I. Let me tell you one thing about me - I have the most ticklish legs of anyone I've ever met. Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well!

Then, you know how sometimes you ask for a firm touch and you get jelly hands? Or the other way around and you're walking out with bruises?

    I came in extremely dehydrated and nauseous, and I'm a difficult stick even when fully hydrated…read more Ellie gave me one if the easiest IVs of my life, she was gentle, didn't hurt at all, and got it in one try. 10/10 recommend! I also got Zofran, Vitamin C, and taurine, which had me feeling much much better by the time I left. Plus a massage chair during the treatment, what more could you need

Came here again in December for a B-12 shot which is located in the back part of the store and had an okay experience. I felt super rushed and although they have a creative process for your mandatory health assessment prior, it was the least pleasant to be taken into a weird tiny dressing room to get my shot. It's clearly a luxurious market for products in the front but I didn't love the rushed experience getting the B-12. The lighting in the tiny dressing room couldn't have been suitable for injections and although everything looks clean, it appeared messy and I rather they have told me to come back at a certain other time for a proper room instead of allowing me to book an appointment via phone and escorting me into a weird dressing room. I'll still return because the staff was truly lovely in the front and back but it didn't give the "clean market" feel that is presented in their marketing.
