There are few places in New York City that truly redefine the meaning of luxury, and The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad is at the top of that list. Rising high above the city skyline, this five-star haven is already known for its impeccable accommodations, Michelin-starred dining, and top-tier service. But its latest gem, the newly opened Ritz-Carlton Spa New York, NoMad, elevates indulgence to an entirely new level.
During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of experiencing The Method Facial, an ultra-luxurious, science-backed treatment that left my skin with an enviable glow. And let’s be honest — what better way to prepare for the incoming warm weather (hello rooftop happy hours and beckoning summers in the Hamptons) than with a full day of relaxation and rejuvenation to get your skin ready to glow?
The Spa Experience: A Sanctuary in the Heart of Manhattan
The moment you step into The Ritz-Carlton Spa New York, NoMad, the City’s hustle fades away. The space exudes tranquility, with its warm lighting, sleek design, and calming ambiance. Featuring eight treatment rooms, a serene lounge, and a state-of-the-art sauna, this spa is the definition of a five-star retreat.
But what truly sets it apart is the exclusivity and attention to detail — something that became evident the moment I met my facialist. Highly skilled, incredibly knowledgeable, and warm, she walked me through every step of The Method Facial, ensuring a personalized experience tailored to my skin’s needs.
The Method Facial: Where Science Meets Self-Care
This 90-minute facial is not just any facial — it’s an artful blend of technology and technique. Developed by the legendary skincare brand Augustinus Bader, the treatment incorporates their patented TFC8® complex, known for its ability to stimulate cellular renewal and enhance skin health.
My treatment began with a deep cleanse, preparing my skin to fully absorb the powerhouse ingredients that followed. One of The Method Facial’s key techniques is a gentle yet effective micro-current lift, which delivered subtle electrical pulses to stimulate my facial muscles — like a workout for my skin, leaving it instantly more toned and lifted. The sculpting facial massage that followed was equally transformative, with firm, rhythmic motions that boosted circulation and enhanced lymphatic drainage, reducing any lingering puffiness. As I sank deeper into relaxation, the LED light therapy worked its magic, targeting fine lines, inflammation, and overall skin rejuvenation. The finishing touch? A soothing scalp massage that melted away any tension, completing the experience with an unparalleled sense of calm.
As my treatment progressed, I could feel my skin awakening, firming, and — most importantly — glowing, as my body drifted into a deep state of rest and relaxation. By the time I finished my facial, my face looked snatched, my cheekbones subtly lifted and my complexion radiant. It was the perfect prep for a glamorous night out in the City. But beyond the aesthetics, my skin actually felt healthier, more hydrated, and noticeably firmer.
More Than a Facial: The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad Difference
Outside of the treatment itself, spending the day at The Ritz-Carlton Spa New York, NoMad was an experience in itself. The Healing Space, featuring an ultra-modern sauna and plush relaxation lounges, made it easy to completely unwind.
After my treatment, I wasn’t in a rush to leave — I sipped on herbal tea, enjoyed a glass of champagne (I told you it was luxury here, didn’t I?), melted into a cozy lounge chair, and let the City’s chaos exist outside of my newfound bubble of peace. And as if the experience couldn’t get any better, I left with an incredible set of Augustinus Bader skincare products to maintain my post-facial glow at home.
