AIRE Ancient Baths New York · Upper East Side

I love so much this place is perfect 😍 I loved this place, it's so relaxing and beautiful. The place is cozy, you feel great, the massages are excellent. The only thing I didn't like was that the staff is very on top of people. It gets a little uncomfortable because you open your eyes when you're relaxing by the pool and one person is watching you and the other is also watching. You feel like you have a bodyguard from the moment you enter. The idea is to feel a little freer.

Clean, professional and classy service. Dark ambiance, quiet, no cell phones which is nice. Fully stocked locker rooms. Massage was awesome, staff awesome. I do however think they need some more signage by the pools explaining which is which because it’s easy to forget after the intro.

An absolutely incredible experience—I truly needed it. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the luxurious and serene atmosphere. The decor is exquisite, the staff is exceptionally attentive and well-trained, and the changing rooms and showers are impeccably maintained. The pools are stunning, never overcrowded, and offer a perfect balance of temperature variations, salt bath and whirlpool options. My massage was beyond professional—it was deeply relaxing and exactly what I needed after a stressful day. I left feeling completely rejuvenated and had one of the best nights of sleep in a long time. I highly recommend visiting this hidden gem in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Absolutely fabulous experience! The spa is a true sanctuary—quiet, peaceful, and beautifully designed for total relaxation. The facilities are amazing, with multiple baths at different temperatures, each offering a unique experience. Special shoutout to therapists Isaiah and Lucy who were outstanding. Their professionalism and care truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I visited the Aire Ancient Baths UES location in March 30th 2025 and was very disappointed. I traveled in from NJ. After the long ride I asked to use the rest room upon checking and was denied. I was told I couldn’t use the restroom until I was admitted for my experience and that it would only be a few minutes so please wait. Then the only toilet in the men’s locker room was out of service which made me think people must relieving themselves in the baths. The showers on the pool level were all broken. The salt bath didn’t have any salt to rub on your body. I booked a couples massage with two female therapist and that was ignored. I was told that they were all booked and we could either accept the male therapist or miss our session. I’ve patronized Aire Tribeca for almost a decade and thought the brand quality would be consistent. It isn’t. I will not be going back to this location. I’d still go to the Tribeca location once the renovation is complete but I will not be returning here.
