Living in (or visiting) NYC, is definitely exciting, but it can also be stressful and overwhelming…
Hop on the first ferry for Governors Island and escape for a few hours – or the entire day- at QC NY: the new Italian spa with stunning skyline and NY Harbor views.
My friend and photographer Bernadeta and I were invited to their influencer/media preview last Tuesday, and we’re totally OBSESSED!!!
We checked in at 10am, thinking we’d have been by lunch, and 8 hours later we were still there…
The full-day pass is absolutely worth it!
Perfectly tempered saunas, steam bath, relaxation rooms with custom scents and music, infrared beds, Vichy showers, foot baths, hydro jets, and and city views: a perfect mix of ancient Roman rituals with a modern and luxurious Italian touch.
The outdoor heated pools with built-in lounge chairs aren’t open yet. Once they are, they’ll be accessible year-round!
The space is elegant and cozy. The historical building (originally army barracks) has been completely renovated, maintaining the original flooring, walls, and ceiling, with the addition of Italian high-end and custom-made furniture and decor.
Staff member Roberta told us that the best way to enjoy the spa is by getting lost. And we did!
The labyrinth-like design is part of the charm, and each space is designed to encourage wonder, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
One of the relaxation rooms, called Upside Down, creates the illusion of walking on the ceiling… unless, of course, you prefer relaxing by practicing handstands.
On the same level, there’s also a Cocoon Room. I could spend hours just swinging on the suspended chairs.
A sweet touch: framed family photos hang on the walls of the changing rooms.
