A Day at the Piers

Interested in a Manhattan Island getaway as relaxing as a weekend in the Hamptons or a week in Lunenburg?

We have two words for you: Chelsea Piers.

Pamper yourself, sun yourself, spoil yourself, but spare yourself the traffic. The Chelsea Piers Sun Deck overlooks the mighty Hudson and serves sushi and fruit smoothies poolside. The Sports Center offers a world class gym, air conditioned track, indoor junior Olympic lap pool, and myriad yoga classes.

Admission to the Sports Center is complimentary with a first class spa service from The Spa at Chelsea Piers, so engage and reward yourself with a Beach Bronzed & Polish (Brazilian Marine Algae scrub and a slimming caffeine cream, topped with a facial bronzer to leave you sun-kissed) Tropical Retreat Massage (Citrus Ginger Body and Scalp Aromassage) or a Pampering Paradise Mani & Pedi (sweet citrus sugar scrub, seaweed hand and foot mask, and luxurious cocoa butter massage.)

Continue your spa-riffic afternoon with a champagne cruise aboard the classic 1920’s style yacht Manhattan to view Olafur Eliasson’s majestic waterfalls
