Cornelia Spa Returns To New York at The Surrey

NEW YORK, July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cornelia Spa, the brand credited with launching the luxury day spa experience, makes its highly anticipated return to New York at The Surrey, the city's only Relais & Chateaux hotel. Located on 76th St. and Madison Ave. on Manhattan's prestigious Upper East Side, the intimate pied'a terre style spa is majestically tucked away within The Surrey, a setting that complements the elegance and opulence of the brand and its loyal following.

Using Cornelia's signature line of products created from the finest botanicals sourced from around the world, therapists are trained to evoke calmness, relaxation and tranquility while simultaneously providing an efficacious and thorough treatment. Further establishing itself as the premier urban oasis, the Spa will delight guests with botanical tastings, an amuse bouche presented following and created to complement each treatment.

Signature treatments include The Reparative Caviar and Oxygen Quench, a two-part facial inspired by nourishment and oxygen which leaves skin visibly firmer, hydrated and radiant followed by a caviar amuse bouche and prosecco finale and The Purist: A Dual Detoxification Treatment. This two-hour detoxification ritual is designed to maximize physical and mental clarification and begins with a body exfoliation using Cornelia's Honey Citrus Polish, followed by a concentrated seaweed wrap and detoxifying bath, and finishing with a lemon-mint firming creme and a shot of Cornelia's delicious Super Food Elixir.

Whether for a hotel patron or a native New Yorker, the Spa offers an intimate, private getaway from the stresses of everyday life. The Spa's design is an extension of Lauren Rottet's white and beige monochromatic palette for The Surrey. Art Deco light fixtures and ornate hand-painted armoires offset contemporary artwork, such as a plaster and mirror collage. Beyond the exquisite treatment rooms equipped with fine linens and angora lambswool blankets, guests will find solace in the Relaxation Library, an intimate space of comfort and indulgence featuring a collection of hand-picked books, or The Surrey's seasonal 17th floor Private Roof Garden, serving delicious cocktails and light fare from Cafe Boulud.
