Aire Ancient Baths - Tribeca

Recommended by HBD

in response to Koorb

Help a newly empty-nested plan a day of intense self-care in NYC! We're dropping our youngest off at college soon, and I'm preparing myself for an emotional upheaval of epic proportions. The following day, I'd like to spend a full day pampering myself—floating, massaging, art-ing, and generally rebuilding myself from the inside out. I've got the art part covered, but I'd love some recs for spas, floating in very warm water, and other glorious forms of spa pampering in NYC. Thank you!

I loved loved loved the salt pool. There is a hook along the edge so you can float and hook your feet in. A truly weightless feeling that I still think about years later.

Window shopping at Bode Womens and Merlette afterwards. Lunch at Frenchette or Dinner at Forgione (the chicken!) or The Tyger.

Second this rec! Or third it!

Will a nice middle-aged lady like me feel comfortable at Aire? or is it literally all supermodels there? Thx!

I think so! It’s swimsuits (co-ed) so the only people I particularly noticed were a few couples on dates. I think weekday during the day will be a fairly light crowd. That was the timing when I went.

“I found the one in New York way back in the summer of 2013 - when it was a reasonable 75 dollars or so for a 90 minute tour. But if you can swing the much increased prices, this is a beautiful soul connecting experience. Baths of different temperatures, salinity, bubbles or flat, all in a hushed atmosphere in the depths of a cast iron building. Candelight and mint tea. Worth it.”

“The Tribeca location stays true to its ancient Roman bathhouse roots.”
