The Spa at Greenwich Hotel

"The spa even features a traditional shiatsu room with tatami mats and a series of time-honored Japanese bathing rituals"

"The basement spa, with a swimming pool topped with the beams of an ancient Japanese farmhouse, is understated, yet unmistakably lux"

"The sprawling Moroccan-tiled bathrooms and eucalyptus-scented products make a shower feel like a trip to the spa (though you can get the full treatment downstairs in the Shibui spa, which surrounds a Japanese lantern–lit swimming pool and lounge)"

"The spa is done in a traditional Japanese style, as is the hotel pool"

"Better still: an underground pool; Shibui Spa; premier gym; and the homestyle Italian Locanda Verde restaurant"

"A visit to the guests-only Shibui Spa, with its traditional tatami mats, shoji screens, soaking tub, and showstopping pool canopied by 250-year-old beams from a Japanese farmhouse, will make you feel like you’ve escaped to an exclusive Kyoto"

"Rooms are light and spacious, and there’s a large salon and an outdoor terrace"

"The centerpiece of the subterranean, Eastern-inspired Shibui Spa is the low-lit pool, set within the frame of a 250-year-old Kyoto farmhouse"

"The subterranean spa, Shibui, is anchored by an indoor swimming pool in a low-lit room crafted with the wood beams from a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse"

"Elaborate pool and spa, with centuries-old bamboo farmhouse imported from Kyoto"
