AIRE Ancient Baths New York · Tribeca

I had a phenomenal birthday treat at AIRE, the massage was unbelievable, the atmosphere was so surreal. It’s in the heart of the city but feels like you’re a million miles away. The bathrooms are so well stocked with everything you would need to get ready (hairdryers etc). Not the mention the incredible staff! Felt so well looked after. The only reason I have given it 4 instead of 5 stars is the cost. Although I cannot fault the experience I felt the price was steep ($150 for just the spa, $300 for the spa + massage service, totaling close to $500 all up). Appreciate this is typical for nyc but even so, it felt high. Perfect for a special occasion, just wish I could go more often and the price prohibits me from doing so!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting AIRE Ancient Baths New York on Franklin Street in NYC, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience that I would rate 5 out of 5 stars! Having also visited the Chicago location, I was eager to see how this one compared. Both share a stunning aesthetic and concept, but I found the NYC venue to have its own unique charm. The ambiance at AIRE Ancients Baths New York is simply enchanting. The beautiful brick architecture combined with the hundreds of lit candles creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately puts you in a state of relaxation. It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the moment. While the Chicago location had the advantage of an indoor/outdoor pool, I still appreciated the variety of pools available in NYC. I did visit during the summer, which added an interesting twist to the experience. Although I found myself feeling a bit overheated at times, the cold showers and refreshing plunges provided the perfect relief. I can only imagine how wonderful it must be to indulge in the warm baths during the winter months, creating a beautiful contrast with the chilly air outside. However, I was disappointed with the jet pool. I was expecting a powerful and invigorating experience, but the jets felt more like gentle bubbles than anything remotely energizing. For a place that prides itself on luxury and relaxation, I found this lack of intensity surprising and a bit of a letdown. One of the highlights of my visit was the shower and concierge service in the locker room. They use L'Occitane products, which felt incredibly luxurious, especially in the high-pressure rain shower. It was a wonderful way to refresh after my time in the baths. The locker room also offers an array of amenities, including combs, deodorant, mouthwash, nail files, and even Dyson hair dryers—the best of the best! The modern lockers added a nice touch, and I particularly appreciated the XXL robes, which provided a comfortable and cozy experience. Despite the minor drawbacks regarding the jet pool, what I truly adore about AIRE Ancient Baths New York is their commitment to cleanliness and the serene environment they cultivate. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to enhance your experience, making each visit a special retreat. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and I can confidently say I will return again and again, no matter which city I find myself in. If you're looking for a tranquil escape in NYC, Ancient Aire Bath is a must-visit destination. The combination of beauty, relaxation, and a unique atmosphere makes it a standout experience that I wholeheartedly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a massage therapy session and it was truly exceptional. Professional, courteous, and friendly staff. She paid particular attention to the knots in my shoulders and neck. She was great. Facilities were very clean.

After recently visiting the AIRE Ancient Baths in Chicago with my best friend, I knew I had to take my husband here for his birthday and I'm so glad I did. I booked us the Escape Together package which included a 30 minute couples massage and 90 minutes to enjoy the baths at our own pace. It is on the pricier side, so I'd say this is definitely a splurge package but it was worth it for us. We went in the evening so the dark and candlelit ambience was perfect for a rainy NY night. The facilities are absolutely gorgeous (and clean!), the staff were friendly and welcoming, and I loved that it wasn't super crowded and we felt like we had ample space to comfortably relax and enjoy the baths. We walked out of there completely relaxed and refreshed. It was a great experience!

Yesterday I visited Aire Ancient Baths in NYC, and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The moment I walked into the men's locker room, I was greeted by a welcoming and attentive staff who made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The ambiance of the facility is serene and beautifully designed, creating a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. One of the highlights for me was the variety of pools they offer. Each pool provided a unique and refreshing experience, but my absolute favorite was the cold plunge followed by the hot tub. The invigorating transition between the cold and hot temperatures was both rejuvenating and relaxing. The attention to detail in maintaining the cleanliness and atmosphere of the pools was impressive. Not to mention this would be great for couples. Overall, my time at Aire Ancient Baths was unforgettable. The exceptional service, tranquil environment, and diverse range of pools make it a top-notch spa destination. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and soothing retreat in the heart of NYC.

The overall experience was awesome. The front desk was so kind and set the tone. I enjoyed all of the amenities and the baths were great. I definitely will do a massage next time, I just didn’t have time! The $30 upgrade from bath experience to bath + juice & mask experience is a waste of money. You get a little bag of a couple items that aren’t worth the value. I recommend bringing a fresh change of clothes for after, as you’ll feel clean and want to be in a clean outfit. The bathrooms are small and cramped, and always wet(I understand why) but it just grossed me out. A changing area would be nice, too. I’d go back but do a few things diff!

I flew in from Georgia for a 1 day girls trip and AIRE New York was the main event. From the moment I walked in, I was NOT impressed. The front desk staff were not friendly at all. The facilities were average and the experience was not at all what I expected. My massage person, Janice, DID a great job and the Hispanic women’s room attendant was extremely attentive. There was also a young AA male that was friendly. Everyone else I encountered seemed to not care at all about their job or making a PRICEY experience also be memorable. Next time, I will stay in Atlanta and go to Jeju. Very disappointed customer! The 2 stars are only because of the massage!

It was an amazing sauna and baths experience. I was there twice and every time it feels really luxurious and atmospheric. It will be perfect for a couple date. Or just for after work relax. I highly recommend it as it keeps being high end and quality way to spend time, diving into Ancient vibe.

What a lovely spa. Booked the 90 min bath with a 30 min couples massage. Very relaxing from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is so nice with the music and candles surrounding you. They provide slipper/water shoes for you and a robe. You provide your own swim wear. There are several baths: -a warm bath - a hot bath -Two cold plunges -a Dead Sea - like bath with salt, called their Florarium -a bath with jets And a steam room My favorite was the hot bath and a close second was the steam room. I highly recommend the experience if you have the money and time. It felt like I was transported to another universe for the day. I recommend reserving the whole day for the experience as we had booked for 2pm but left around 5pm after showering and changing afterwards.

Wow, what an amazing experience! The baths were by far the most relaxing I've ever had, and the salt bath was definitely my favorite. The whole place is lit with candles, giving it a really romantic vibe. My husband and I got a couples massage, and we both loved it. They even dried our bathing suits while we were getting the massage, which was such a nice touch. The changing rooms were awesome--especially the Dyson hair dryer! Overall, totally worth every penny.

The Floatarium is life. I had the Signature Wine Experience which includes (among other things) a wine bath, charcuterie board, wine, scalp massage and body massage services (budget $750 pp). It was unique, relaxing and soothing. Outside of Japan, this is one of the few places one can receive this particular treatment. The staff are generally cordial and the environment is cavernous and dimly lit giving it a tranquil vibe. Cell phones are not aloud and signs the read "silence" are posted throughout the space. They also limit how many patrons are present at once, so a more boutique - quality experience comes with the higher pricepoint. Overall 4/5

I had enjoyed my time at Aire Ancient Baths. It felt fairly clean and the atmosphere was relaxing (dark and cozy.) They had fancy amenities like Dyson hair dryer, comb, robe, etc.) I enjoyed the multiple different hot tubs (salt, hot, cold, warm, etc.) My husband and I got the new Orange massage service and we thought it was decent - the massage pressure was more gentle than we had hoped, but it was still relaxing. Unfortunately I ended up getting really bad hot tub folliculitis afterwards so that might mean that the hot tubs are not as well maintained and clean as I had thought.

TIP: For food after, go around the corner to Petrarca Cucina e Vino for the greatest bolognese pasta and lasagna of your life. Came for a friend's birthday and somehow managed to stay in the baths for three hours while my friends got massages. I don't know how I wasn't wrinkled as a cabbage when I got out, maybe thanks to those invigorating cold plunges. Been to the Chicago location which is nicer and bigger and even has an outdoor area to swim into, but this one is incredible for NYC. So cavernous and transportive and love the salt baths, too. A great spot to linger and relax with your girlfriends and treat yourselves. 5 stars!!!

Such an amazing experience. Been to this one and the London location. Neither disappoints. It's clean and relaxing in a unique atmosphere. I added an hour massage to the baths experience, and it was one of the best massages I ever had. Well worth a visit!

Too expensive for the experience. You share time slots with many couples. Shower/locker room attendant never offered to dry my bathing suit. Would not recommend.

This place is incredible, magical and all the good things! My husband surprised me with a relaxation day for the two of us here. He got the love connection 60 package which included a 60 massage and 60 minutes in the thermal baths. You are given a locker which includes a robe and water slippers. The locker rooms are just as lovely as the rest of the place and AIRE really has thought of every detail and they have everything you need post baths including hair dryers, stringing irons, combs, hair ties, styling products, you name it. The staff throughout the bath house was so lovely and accommodating. We started with 45 minutes in the thermal baths, then our massage, then 15 more minutes in the baths. The couples massage was wonderful and catered to what you wanted for problem areas in your body. The masseuse I had was great and worked out all the knots in my back, neck, shoulder and legs. Since we had just been in the baths our bathing suits and slipper were wet when we took them off for our massage and at the end of the massage you realize that they've warmed up and dried your slippers and bathing suit. Like I said thought of everything! The thermal baths were my favorite part of this whole experience. The area is quiet and not crowded. The price for the baths at AIRE ensures it is only a certain amount of people are in the bathhouse at a time so you're not swimming on top of people and also so it's discrete. There are 6 different baths that range in temperature, including 2 cold plunges, a 97 degree bath, a 102 degree bath, a Dead Sea type bath and a jet bath and a steam room. They also have seating areas with water and tea throughout. The 102 was my favorite of all and was situated right near the cold plunges for good reason. The Dead Sea bath was great but just like the ocean high salt can make my skin sting. After using the Dead Sea bath AIRE also has you shower and exfoliate to get the salt off your body before going into another area. The steam room though was by far my favorite which is odd but it's because it's so incredibly steamy in the steam room and every time I left it I felt so incredibly refreshed! Aire partners with the Beekman hotel so after our massages when we went bath to the thermal bath we were given complimentary truffles and non-alcoholic rose which was lovely. We were given a little extra time for our final time in the thermal baths as well just by chance because they were a bit empty, which was wonderful. I cannot recommend this place enough. It is expensive but I think for service you get and the quality of the entire establishment it is 100% worth it. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The discrete and quiet nature of this place made you feel like you were not in NYC or even the US which was fun. Oh and a cool note about this place is that there is a scene in the first John Wick movie that was filmed here.

Really cool slot in FiDi. Nice ambience, a selection of 3 Ethereal songs on a never ending loop - and plenty of choices to indulge yourself in cold hot warm baths and steam room. place was very clean and service was excellent - you can tell people love working there. great way to reset the mind and body and feel like you're biohacking for 3 hours. the massage was deep tissue and was ok, i left sore after it but i've had other ones that were a bit better. would come back again - nice place!

What a beautiful and wonderful way to end our vacation! Aire Ancient Baths was a remarkable place to relax, with a variety of warm pools, a steam room, and cold baths. The staff was incredibly welcoming and catered to our every need. My husband and I were able to enjoy the sauna area for what felt like well over an hour before our massages began; and then we were given another half hour after to enjoy their amenities. We also were treated to a complimentary cold pressed juice. Our massages were exactly what we needed after venturing around the city nonstop for ten days. They worked out knots I never knew I had. They also dried our swimsuits during our session so we didn't have to put on wet clothes after such a deeply pleasant experience. Afterwards we were given access to their showers and locker rooms with a full vanity set, leaving us feeling completely refreshed and ready to start the rest of our evening.

I can't recommend this place enough! Everything's here is top notch, from the facilities to the service. I've been here three times and every single time I come out like a noodle, because I am so relaxed. If possible, I would recommend trying to get a 2 hour timeframe and definitely arrive 15 minutes early to maximize your time.

***Spacious, Friendly Staff, Relaxing*** I had the opportunity to experience their massage and pool services. Upon entering, you check in and receive a wristband. The wristband indicates what kind of service you purchased for staff. Once you enter the locker room, you have a robe, towel, and water slippers in the locker. You receive a quick tour of the amenities and the various pools and steam room. I enjoyed the variety of pools and steam room. I was not a fan of having to wear the water slippers the entire time, even in the pool. Also it's time limited which is a bummer given the cost. Afterwards you're escorted to the massage room. The massage was amazing and I was fortunate to have a masseuse who really spent the time getting rid of my knots. I also enjoyed the hot stones! Disposable underwears are provided to avoid a damp bathing suit. I found it odd that you don't receive the massage first because you have to put your damp bathing suit back on after. At the end we received a pressed juice which was very refreshing. The shower amenities are limited - l'occitane shower gel and shampoo/conditioner. There is also an area where you can blow dry your hair with Dyson products as well as some amenities like a hairbrush, deodorant, nail file, etc. The staff in the locker room helped dry my bathing suit which was so appreciative.

This place was on my wishlist for a couple of months, so I decided to take the plunge (literally!) for my birthday. I do recommend making a group reservation if you're going with other people -- I booked my reservation first and when my two friends tried to book theirs separately my time slot wasn't available. However, when they booked as a duo there were more times/services available. I'm only docking a star from this review because of how vastly different each of our massages were. All three of us did the Love Yourself package and both of my friends were pretty disappointed. One said that her masseuse didn't apply enough pressure throughout and also didn't focus on her problem areas while the other friend said her massage started off great and slowly went downhill. However, I absolutely LOVED my massage! I was paired with Laurie and boy she is tiny, but mighty. She applied the right amount of pressure and really worked out a bunch of knots on the areas I highlighted (shoulders and thighs). I would 100% rebook her for a deep tissue massage (the hot stones were just okay) As for the pools I mainly focused on alternating between the cold plunge and their hottest pool. The jet pool was nice, but I wasn't a fan of the lukewarm temperature. And be careful in the salt pool! Some water accidentally went up my nose and it felt like my throat was on fire. Not a huge fan of the entire experience being timed, but honestly no one ever came to tell us that our time was up (not sure if that was done intentionally, or not but I was not complaining)

They aren't kidding, BE ON TIME! WELCOME RECEPTIONIST: Professional, polite and great customer service! Design was Gorgeous! My only suggestion is to be a "Shh quiet sign " guests were loud gossiping away which completely kills your vibe as you're checking out. LOCKER ROOMS: Clean and perfect! You'll have plenty of complimentary amenities to choose from, just ask your attendant. Be sure to tip them :) LOCKER ROOM AMENITIES: you're absolute necessities will be available to yo! They do give you spa non slip socks so leave the sandals at home :) My only complaint is the shampoo and conditioner! They use L'occitane which I was so excited about but only good for those with thin hair. I used half the bottle of conditioner and still felt awful. Loss revenue for them there. BATHS: Not crowded, their schedule has. A max allowed per hour session. It's base on time scheduled not your check-in. T.J. Explained all the baths very well! SERVICE PACKAGE: Relax for Couples 60 Min- was purchased. Masseuses Michael and Snyder were amazing! Huge asset to this space . I have herniated disc so my reviews don't come easy :) My only reason for 4 and not 5 was time. Our massage was definitely not an hour, I don't know if it's the way they manage the schedule but we were in the baths for just over 30 mins when we were called for our massage.

Fantastic experience and highly recommended. Who knew you could find a European-type bath house in NY? We were gifted the Escape Together 45min experience and we loved the entire experience. Once we walked in the front door, we were transported to a magical place. The front desk is good, but the bathroom attendant really did a great job explaining everything. Aire provides bath towels, robes and water shoes. Their bathroom is stocked with L'Occitane products in the shower, fantastic air products, mouth wash and a Dyson hairdryer. The baths themselves were great and had a wide variety (slightly warmer than body temp, a hot one, 2 cold plunges, a salt bath and a jacuzzi type one). Overall these were nice, clean and overall enjoyable We also got massages as part of the package and highly recommend it. Overall - this is fantastic as a gift or for a self care routine for yourself.

Such a great experience, start to finish! My wife and I booked the "Constellations" package, including a 60-minute couples massage. The baths were so relaxing, well maintained, and kept a nice peaceful atmosphere. There was plenty to do while we awaited the massages and enjoyed the different bath types and temperatures. The massage itself was incredible, too! Service all-along was top-notch and incredibly professional. From the locker room, to the spa intro, to the massage therapists. We felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. I can't wait to return!

This spa is a must! After you change into your bathing suit and water shoes, you head downstairs to a candlelit oasis. This beautiful oasis includes a steam room, floating pool that is a comfortable temperature and will not boil you with music playing under water. Love to just float and meditate. There is a shower right next to this pool with a mound of salt to use for exfoliating. A jet pool again at a comfortable temperature. A body temperature pool, a hot pool(that is super hot and relaxing), and two cold plunge pools. One at 50 and the other 57. The best advice I received from one of the guides was to sit in the hot pool until you were very hot and then get out and walk straight into the cold plunge and stay still. Being still would allow the water around you to warm. I tried this and here is what I experienced. At first my breathing was a bit rapid but I stayed still and then my breathing started to return to normal and it became quite therapeutic. When I got out, I felt exhilarated and energized. I would say I was in there for about 3 minutes. That's all it took. They also have an assortment of massages to choose from. I have tried the Himalayan salt experience and the wine experience. Himalayan Salt Experience-I would not recommend this treatment. It's basically a massage followed by exfoliation with salt. Feels like the same salt they have available next to the float pool. Not worth it for me. Wine experience-now that was a grand experience. You soak in a stone tub filled with wine that has been stripped of the alcohol but still has all of the antioxidants. Wine with cheese and grapes is served while you soak. A cranial massage in the tub and then a full body massage is included in the service. After the massages, you can explore the different baths.

I lovvvve this place! Not many bath houses in the states with a European upscale vibe. Service was great. No tipping allowed (classy). I got the full package; juice shots, massage, tried all the baths and salt scrubs. My favorite was the salt water bath with frequency in the water. The masseuse was the 3rd best I've ever seen, mostly for creativity. She started at the top of my spine and worked down one thumb at a time- very relaxing. I'm a female and requested a female. I will def come back next time I'm in NY.

My husband and I were gifted an experience and it was amazing. We had over an hour access to the pools and a 30 min massage. When you walk in, the space is very beautiful with exposed brick and nice arad to sit and wait for your time to enter. The women's locker room was very nice. Friendly attendant and nice lockers with a robe, a towel, and little grippy socks that you must wear the entire time. More on that later. I came out of the locker room before my husband and I was offered and shot of some calming cherry juice and our experience included two juices from Press'd. The space with the pools was gorgeous. An attendant explained the layout and suggested the order in which to enjoy them. We started in the body temp pool. That was nice. The pools appear to all be marble which is a nice touch. We then moved to the hot tub. I generally don't enjoy got tubs because they are...too hot. Hahahahaha. We spent about 10 mins there and then I did the "warmer" cold plunge pool and it was cold but exactly what I needed. We then went to the pool with the jets. We didn't spend much time there. Then we went over to the salt pool and before we got in we scrubbed down with some salt from a giant mound of salt. We then went into the saltwater pool and floated there for a while. That was nice. Then I tried the steam room and did some stretching because I'm middle aged and things are achy and tight. We then went back to the body temp pool and while there they got us for our massage. The massage was only thirty minutes so they only really worked on on my back which was fine. He did a good job and hit some places that a lot of massage therapists don't often work on. Afterwards we were able to have some more time in the pools. Back to the locker room. I didn't shower because we were going back to our hotel before dinner. But it was very well appointed. They had a nice area with vanities and Dyson hair dryers with all sorts of attachments. I didn't use them because I didn't wet my hair. About the grippy socks: I didn't like the sensation of having wet socks but I understand why they do it so I dealt with it. Overall it was an amazing experience. I was very relaxed and it's the first time I've spent that much time away from any devices.

Amazing Spa in New York, I was celebrating my partner birthday. The space is so beautiful, staff very friendly and the massage very good.

Very relaxing vibes - great massage. good for couples and groups. would definitely go again

WORTH THE HYPE. Absolutely loved our time here and can't wait to check out the other locations too! We thoroughly enjoyed everything the spa had to offer and felt sooo relaxed at the end of it. Many other reviewers said that the massages were average, so my expectations were low, but I was completely blown away because Sandy completely knocked it out of the park. Maybe it was the atmosphere? Maybe it was the heated oil? Maybe it was her magical fingers? It was one of the best massages I've ever gotten in my life! I would go back just to get a massage from Sandy again. All in all, it's a luxury spa, and we were super happy with our experience despite the hefty price tag.

The salt pool is epic. I was lucky enough to have had it pretty much to myself when I went so that added to the serenity of the experience. But, all in all, the spa setting is very relaxing, subdued and peaceful. The massage was wonderful as well.

This was a fabulous gift that I enjoyed very much. Always rushing from place to place like the average New Yorker, the time spent at AIRE was extremely relaxing, and it was a nice ME time. The front desk was very accommodating and friendly. The place is impeccably clean, including the lockers, showers, and changing area. AIRE looks exactly like the pictures and video card I received, and on the website. However, I did expect a larger spa. The positive is that at any given time, there was less than twelve people. I would even guess less than ten people which included couples, singles, and friends. AIRE is very dim with lots of candles. The salt pool was really amazing. You can float and listen to music if your ears are in the water. Coming out of this pool, you can exfoliate your body with salt. The eucalyptus infused steam room was also nice. Most of the other pools and whirlpool were not a big deal, as you can find them at any hotel. My package came with a half hour massage with Stephanie. She was very attentive to my needs, and asked me for my preferences. She was pretty good. Overall, this place was pricey, about $300 with tips. However, I appreciated the generosity and thoughtfulness of this gift.

This is a truly unique spa, very accurate to the photos online. The service is accommodating and knowledgeable. They do their best to make sure you are comfortable and the experience as a whole is serene as can be. I for one was very lost in the dressing room area but the attendant was very sweet and helpful. Thank god she was there! The cold plunges are refreshing, there is hot tea available and you feel like you're suddenly in another country far away from the hustle and noise of the city. Went here for my partner & I's anniversary and it was a beautiful experience we will cherish forever.

This spa is a must if you are in NYC! The ambience is so relaxing and has a Mediterranean feel, lots of use of tiles and lamps. If you are a fan of spas that have pools this is for you. All of the pools have different temperatures and jets and it is very beautiful and relaxing. I love the no phone policy and the staff enforces it which I applaud. This is where people come to unwind and disconnect while reconnecting to yourself. Look online to check out photos it is exactly how it looks online as it is in person which is not always true. We also got a couples massage and I am not lying when I say it was one of the best massages I have ever had! The right pressure, the aromas and the vibe was perfect. I get massaged once a week as an athlete and I am not kidding when I say book a massage on your stay! Locker Rooms: Great size and all amenities provided including hairdryers, lotion, q-tips, etc. The only thing I found weird were the restrooms. They were very small and hard to get in and out of because of the doors. Overall great experience and highly recommend!

If you need to really relax and absolutely clear your head. This is the place for it. The quality is top-notch, the service is impeccable. Very relaxing.Relaxing atmosphere, full body massage was amazing. expensive but a once a monthtreat to yourself. Very knowledgeable staff.

A beautiful oasis in the city. The massage was fantastic and the baths are gorgeous, relaxing and unique.

Title: Disappointing Customer Service Experience with Aire Ancient Bath Gift Card As a recipient of a holiday present from a thoughtful colleague, I was excited to indulge in a luxurious experience at Aire Ancient Bath. However, due to unforeseen circumstances during the Covid-19 pandemic, I misplaced the gift card for a significant period. When I recently rediscovered it and reached out to Aire Ancient Bath's customer service, I was met with disappointment and frustration. Upon contacting customer service to inquire about the validity of the gift card, I was informed that it had expired. Understandably, I was disheartened by this news, but I hoped that given the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic, there might be some flexibility in their policy. I specifically asked about their Covid-19 policy, which I had heard had extended the redemption period for certain gift cards. To my dismay, the representative informed me that while they had indeed extended their Covid-19 policy to accommodate certain situations, they were unable to do so for my expired gift card. Despite the fact that the gift card's expiration date was easily verifiable in their system, I was informed that they could not make an exception. I cannot help but feel disappointed by the lack of understanding and empathy demonstrated by Aire Ancient Bath's customer service team. Given the unprecedented challenges faced by individuals during the pandemic, I had hoped for a more compassionate and accommodating response. Furthermore, I find it concerning that expiration dates are not printed on the gift cards themselves. This lack of transparency can lead to confusion and frustration for customers, as was the case in my situation. As a result, I am left with a sense of dissatisfaction and reluctance to patronize Aire Ancient Bath in the future.

Love love love this place! If you want a luxurious relaxing experience then look no further. My partner and I made a Sunday evening reservation for the baths and were instantly impressed by the lobby! Our receptionist Nicole was so warm and welcoming and walked us through everything since it was our first time there. The fresh juice is a great touch. Each bath is better then the last! Loved the variation in bath types, temperature, dim lighting and commitment to keeping the baths quiet and relaxing! The locker rooms are super clean and full of amenities. Would definitely come back!

It's okay if you're a couple but solo users could feel uncomfortable here. But I am writing because of the massage, which was among the worst I've ever had (I've had many). Think of it as a lazy body rub with someone using their forearms. I asked for more pressure three times and didn't get it. I recall getting a mediocre one here in the past, but this was notably bad. I have to presume the person was at the end of their shift or having a bad day. The pools are relaxing. Enough said. I won't be back.

Love this place. Highly recommend. We booked a couples bath experience, which is 90 min to explore their different baths. Heads up - no cell phones allowed. They ring a bell halfway through so you have a sense of time. Must book in advance to make sure you can get a spot - they only allow a limited number at a time (which I am grateful for, so it's not too crowded). They have several different pool options, including a warm one, hot one, two cold plunge ones, a jacuzzi, a saltwater bath you can float in, and also a steam room. They also had a salt scrub you could then wash off under a rainfall shower head, which I enjoyed. My favorites were the salt flotation bath and the hot bath in the back. I liked that upon entering, they give you a juice. My husband got a green juice and I got a mango turmeric. They are $12 each if you want to buy more. Inside, they have water and decaf peppermint tea. No snacks. They don't really have lounge chairs but they do have a heated stone area with a little room to sit or lay down on the heated stone, which was nice. The locker room was fine. I wish they had more towels available (you had to ask each time you needed one) and more toilets, but overall fine. There's usually a staff person walking around cleaning and asking if you need anything, including to dry your bathing suit. Will definitely come back again for when I really need some time out to relax! My whole body felt so much better after leaving - both physically and mentally.

Aire spa is the best spa i've ever been! Amazing service with a lot of attention to details, very peaceful and relaxing. Just heaven!

First off, this was a gift, and one I was looking forward to for a long time. The space is visually appealing, it looks good and has a comelling "vibe" (as I am suggested to discuss here), but the overall shabbiness was a bit of a let down. From the very start the women's locker room looks run-down - loose door handles, grimy floors, non-functioning toilets (something wrong with the plunge). The baths were nice, but none of them seemed the right temperature. Worst of all, the steam room - it was TORTURE. If you have ever been in a steam room you know that the higher up you go, the warmer it is, but this one was all off - the first level was almost too cold to sit on, the second level your lower half was cold, while your head was left in boiling levels. And not to mention the drips off water coming from the ceiling that were so hot they felt like little darts. There was no getting comfortable. It was like being under attack. This is not a steam room, this is a hot scalding rain closet. No thanks. Truly annoying was that I didn't feel there was enough time before they beckoned me or my massage - which was ok, except the part when her nails dug into the back of my scalp. Adding insult to it all was that AFTER my massage, I was told I had another 20 minutes in the baths. Poor time managment. I contacted the manager about these issues before posting a review and their response was clearly written by ChatGPT - but with poor grammar and strange sentence structure. Overall the message was "We are sorry you weren't happy, we are trying" huh? I have had better experiences at a gym steam room.

This a great magical cave if your in the area. It's dark, romantic, with many pools. No windows so it's relaxing Feels like your away in an expensive exotic place Massage was great - They have a salt station - don't go if u already have a salty attitude Many pools to dip into from hot to hotter to cold

I came to AIRE Ancient Baths yesterday with my partner for a much-needed relaxation session. When you first arrive, the dimly-lit lobby fools you into thinking that they are closed from the outside, but rest assured that they are not. You check in at the front desk in the lobby and then they direct you to the locker rooms where an attendant will assign you a locker. At that point, you change into your bathing suit and leave everything behind except your robe and water shoes. Yes, "everything" does include your phone, so unfortunately you won't be able to let the haters see the entrancing spa you're in. Once changed, you exit the locker rooms and approach the top of the stairs of the baths where you check in once more and receive the free fruit juice that comes with your package. They then send you down the stairs to another person who will give you a tour of the area and a recommendation on how to navigate the baths. We started at the body temperature pool and worked our way to the hotter ones, ending with the salt bath where you can float freely. It was definitely a good experience where you get to detox and disconnect from the outside world for a couple of hours. It was really great how they offer to dry your bathing suit for you at the end of your journey. I'll definitely return in the future and try out the red wine bath next time.

This place is absolutely amazing! The ambiance along with the exceptional service has made our experience unique! We arrived 10 minutes earlier to get the most out of our experience. They provided us with a robe and slippers. We had brought our own bathing suits (in case you forget they provide you for free). Cell phones are not allowed -Thank God! In this place you are totally disconnected with the outer world and this is the right way! We stayed in this peaceful and romantic environment for two hours. During the first hour we tried all different bath experiences (hot, warm, cold, steam room). We went from pool to pool. My personal favorite was the salt pool were you can float and scrub yourself with salt. The second hour was dedicated to our massage experience. The therapists were genuine, attentive and very experienced. They provided us with towels to dry ourselves out and we lied down to the beds. After finishing with our amazing massage experience, we felt so calm and relaxed! Every area was extremely clean and the staff was very friendly and ready to help with any questions you may have. We will be back soon!

There aren't enough amazing things to say about this place! When I visited New York for the first time in August 2021, my friend who is a local surprised me with a visit to here and to say I was blown away was an understatement. The facility is impeccable - clean, staff is friendly, and the accommodations are mind blowing. This place is not cheap by any means - but if you are looking for a fun date night activity, or a relaxing spa like experience, this is your place. I plan to visit Chicago later this year and am excited to check out the location there. Can't wait to come back to AIRE - I wish they had something like this in California! Highly highly recommend.

This is a very expensive establishment and they care more about their profit than one receiving the full of the experience. My sister booked this place for us to add as a celebration for her birthday. I saw they were giving away a Complimentary Hydration Set and asked if that can be applied to my sister's purchase. After multiple emails, sadly, I did not receive the Complimentary Hydration Set. My sister paid over $600 for the two of us (including tip) and even with me verifying some of her information, they still refused. I mentioned it was for her birthday, and I wanted to add it without her having to do the back-and-forth, kinda like a surprise. So something they were giving away for free was was made into a big deal and why I say they care more about the money than the experience. They treated my situation as if they were the IRS & I was trying to add a tax credit on my sister's tax form . Now if I was paying to have something added I'm sure that would've been made possible. Now about the place: it's very dark where the pools are, the tea has no herbs/sweeteners, there was no one to guide us on where to go after we changed. If you want to sit in water save the money and do it in your house or go to a place that specializes in cold water therapy. The massage was okay although he didn't work on the area's I told him I needed him too and put my shoes on the wrong feet.

Incredible experience that is worth the price, if you are on the fence you should absolutely go. The variety of baths, excellent service, and overall experience makes this a memorable enjoyable experience for anyone looking to relax and treat yourself. High recommend!

Returned today and loved it as much as ever. This time we got to indulge in massages. What a beautiful experience. The fresh juice is also delish!

My friend took a few of us to these ancient baths. The ambience is very serene and nice, and we enjoyed getting into the different baths. We had booked a massage. My massage was more like an oil rub. I asked her to put some pressure but she said yes and continued to merely rub oil. I felt like she didn't really know how to massage given that she was adding pressure in the wrong places that hurt and not in a good way. I would not call that a massage. They really need to train them because it is unacceptable to have someone "massage" your body when she doesn't know what she is doing, and is merely putting on oil. She was more focused on how the sheet was in the wrong place and adjusting that instead of the massage. Overall, it felt like we paid for the baths more than the massage. I would recommend finding the right masseuse. My party had an okay experience with massages but mine seemed the worst. It is a good place to come with friends. They have a strict policy of PDA which they mentioned to me and my girlfriends yet we saw a couple doing something that bordered on PDA and they didn't say anything. They also need a better system. You do the massage then slip back into your wet swimsuit and you can use the baths later if there is time I guess. There should be a way for them to dry out the swimsuits a bit. Overall it was an ok experience, should try it once. Two of us were in the same room which was ok I guess. I am glad I tried it once.

Gift bath and massage package from my gf. The atmosphere of the place is as it looks on the website. The bath are is attractive, but the water temps are just too low all around. Also, probably best visited with a partner, being solo was a bit awkward...and one doesn't need an hour in the baths. The massage was well done, even if not fantastic. A bit too slow and deliberate at times and, oddly, she ignored my request to not do any acupressure. Locker room service was very helpful and just excellent. I can see an attraction to this as a partner event, but I'm one and one.

Incredible experience! If you want a calm and relaxing evening I would highly recommend this place! I did the 90 min ultimate baths and felt so tranquil and peaceful the whole time. The music, the serenity and limited amount of people made it very relaxing.

The First time I went here was for my birthday in November & my bf and I had the best time! So when he suggested we go here on a random date night I was excited. We tried to book it for the same day but everyone knows this place is always booked out weeks ahead especially on the weekend. I did get lucky and find a reservation for Sunday night at 8pm. It was the perfect way to end our weekend. The ambience and vibes are just perfect and so Romantic, it feels like you're in an underground cave with only candles for lighting. We booked the escape couples massage which included a 45 min back focused massage with hot rocks & a complimentary juice. The price is pretty steep starting about $250 per person. No phones are allowed so you really get to disconnect and just enjoy each other's company. I think over all the price is worth it, my only complaint is that it's not long enough. We arrived and spent about an hour and 15 min exploring the pools and sauna and the last 45 was the massage. They were nice though to let us have an extra 10 min in the pools since we were apart of the last parties. I highly recommend as a splurge worthy date night or birthday!

worst experience. will rob you for your money and not give you full experience you paid for. very crooked and shady staff workers rushing people in and out in order to get payments and not give refunds. refused to even give me a printed receipt.

Great pampering experience. Pricey but very unique. Staff and amenities were both excellent.

Such a relaxing experience! Can't believe this is in the middle of manhattan. I went with my husband for our anniversary and it was the best treat.
