Save Big on Spa Treatments at New York's Hottest Spas

Spa Week 2008C&R Media
New York living is hard. Most of us could use a little pampering and rejuvenation. During Spa Week, you can get pampered for less at New York City's hottest spas and face the fall with an unmistakable glow. You can also pick up a Spa Week gift certificate and treat that special someone in your life to a bit of beauty indulgence.

From October 12-18, 2009, more than 80 Manhattan spas (as well as spas in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and Westchester) are offering spa treatments for just $50 each.

Choose from massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, body wraps, Brazilian waxes, and many other delicious indulgences (okay, the Brazilian wax won't be a lot of fun, but you'll look great in your teeny bikini).

Make your appointments early -- the most popular spas will book up. Here are some of our picks for Spa Week:
  • GemVie MediSpa -- 45-Minute Hot Stone Body Massage OR Microdermabrasion with Pumpkin Enzyme
    Experience the soothing power of a hot stone massage or opt for an island-style scrub-down and rub-down.
    • 24 East 36th Street, 212.447.8494

  • Great Jones Spa -- Spa Manicure and Pedicure with Water Lounge Pass
    Enjoy your treatment and then linger in the fabulous water lounger, where you can immerse yourself in thermal hot tubs and cold plunge pools, hang out under a three-story indoor waterfall, and purify yourself in the river rock sauna or chakra-light steam room.

  • ReFresh Spa -- 60-Minute Balance & Nourish Face Treatment OR 60-Minute For Men Face Treatment (both come with $50 worth of Fresh products)
