Living in (or visiting) NYC, is definitely exciting, and it can also be stressing or overwhelming…
Hop on the first ferry for Governors Island and get away for a few hours – or the entire day- at QC NY: the new Italian SPA with a skyline and NY Harbor view.
My friend and photographer Bernadeta and I, were invited to their influencers/media preview last Tuesday and we’re totally OBSESSED!!!
We checked in at 10am, thinking we’d have been home for lunch, and 8 hours later we were still there…
The full-day pass is really worth!
Perfectly tempered saunas, steam bath, relaxing rooms with different 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, are not open yet. Once they will, they will remain 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 for people to wonder, relax and regenerate.
One of the relaxation rooms, called Upside Down, creates the illusion of walking on the ceiling… unless you want to relax by practicing handstands.
On the same level, there’s also a Cocoon Room: I could spend hours just swinging on a suspended chair.
Sweet note: on the walls of the changing rooms, are hanging framed family pictures.
