- A Moroccan Hammam
- An Arctic Snow Cave for specialized cold therapy

Signature rituals honouring hotel heritage
The spa's menu of exclusive treatments, designed by Guerlain’s Head of Wellness & Aesthetic Creation Amélie Demange, pays tribute to the hotel’s rich legacy while showcasing Guerlain's celebrated French spa artistry:
- Spirit of Achievement: A deep massage paying tribute to the renowned statue atop the hotel’s entrance, focusing on the neck, décolleté, and back to release tension.
- Like Clockwork: A mind-release ritual inspired by the Waldorf Astoria Clock, using synchronized sounds and binaural frequencies from a vibroacoustic table to promote deep relaxation and clarity.
- Golden Hour: A face-sculpting treatment that utilizes cold spheres and Gua Sha to reveal a radiant, luminous glow.
Beyond these exclusive rituals, the spa offers comprehensive wellness programs built around the four foundational pillars of Guerlain wellness: nutrition, movement, sleep, and mindfulness, including multi-month resynchronization programs and three-day immersive retreats.
Advanced longevity technologies
Guerlain Wellness Spa’s pioneering approach is highlighted by its integration of advanced technology:
- The Guerlain LongeviSkin® device: A proprietary, multi-action tool that unites seven advanced skincare technologies (including LED, plasma, and radiofrequency) into one system for deep, lasting results.
- Amphibia Welnamis system: Uses binaural vibroacoustic technology for profound relaxation.
- Cryotherapy Chamber: Aids in physical recovery and cellular renewal.
- AI virtual reality goggles: Offer an immersive journey through nature that can be paired with a specially designed massage.
Parisian elegance meets art deco heritage
The spa’s design, crafted by Wimberly Interiors, draws from Waldorf Astoria New York’s legendary Art Deco heritage and Guerlain’s refined Parisian legacy. The interiors feature classic Art Deco motifs, linear elements, sculptural silhouettes, and metallic accents, balanced by a palette of soft whites and warm woods.
“Wellness is an essential expression of modern luxury, and at Waldorf Astoria it has long been part of our promise to guests,” said Dino Michael, Senior Vice President and Category Head, Luxury Brands, Hilton.
Residents of the Waldorf Astoria Residences New York will also have exclusive access to a dedicated wellness area on the 25th floor, featuring a 25-meter swimming pool, two treatment rooms, and a fitness center, all enhanced by bespoke Guerlain services.
The Guerlain Wellness Spa is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., bringing an unparalleled level of artistry and sophistication to Manhattan's wellness landscape.
