Water Lounge

Step into a modern bathhouse in New York. Discover a thermal wellness circuit designed to detox, restore, and elevate your everyday ritual.

While rooted in the ancient tradition of the bathhouse, our Water Lounge elevates the practice into a holistic sanctuary. Anchored by a dramatic three-story indoor waterfall, this immersive space overlooks both our hot tub and cold plunge pool, creating an atmosphere that soothes the senses through the therapeutic sound of cascading water.

Before or after your spa treatment, take time to explore the Water Lounge—a space that offers much more than a standard bathhouse. Move through our signature thermal wellness circuit beginning in the eucalyptus steam room or river rock sauna to detoxify and unwind, followed by a brisk cold plunge to reawaken the senses, and completed with a soak in the hot tub. Repeat the cycle as often as you’d like. Like any 5-star resort or great spa destination, we invite you to stay, explore, and linger.

Glass items, including glass water bottles, are not allowed in the Water Lounge. Water is readily available for you in the lounge and throughout the spa.

In accordance with Department of Health guidelines, pregnant guests may not use the jacuzzi, cold plunge, sauna, or steam room. However, you’re welcome to enjoy any spa service and the relaxation areas.

What should I wear in the Water Lounge?

A swimsuit is required. If you forget yours, you may enter the steam room or sauna in your robe. We also offer disposable swimsuits—just ask at the front desk or locker room.

Can I use the Water Lounge before or after a treatment?

Yes. We recommend using the Water Lounge before a facial (to allow products to better absorb post-treatment). For massage or body treatments, it’s up to you.
