If you think that the words “calm” and “mind” may never be used in the same sentence to describe you, the Mandarin Oriental’s Calm Mind Retreat is for you.
Say bon voyage to that monkey mind of yours and send it on its own little getaway with this new life-changing experience.
If you’re pressed for time, opt for the 45-minute head, neck, shoulder and back massage that releases blocked energy via acupressure points.

The Mandarin’s staff are experts in Eastern medicine and bring their wisdom and magic hands to the (massage) table.
The experience features a mélange of aromatherapy, breathing techniques and movement to smooth, relax and reset both body and mind.

The Calm Mind experience is like a quick weekend getaway while the 80-minute Calm Mind Retreat is a full vacation for that sexy soul of yours.

The Calm Mind experience is like a quick weekend getaway while the 80-minute Calm Mind Retreat is a full vacation for that sexy soul of yours.
Acupressure head, neck, shoulder and back massage meets energizing arms and leg massage, aromatherapy and a focus on balance and peace.
All of this with the most magical view of New York City through the window.
Go early to enjoy the facilities (think: relaxation room, Jacuzzi, steam room…) at your new Om away from Om.

Stay and enjoy the hotel’s recently revamped menus at Asiate. From a low-carb Japanese breakfast bento to an “in good health” package to chia pudding, protein smoothies and green juice, it’s the perfect way to start the day in balance and bliss. Or veg out after your Spa visit with a veggie-infused dinner starring heirloom tomatoes, grilled watermelon with coconut crème and heart of palm, eggplant risotto or new potatoes and summer corn with a sauce Gribiche.

Bon voyage, mind!
