I will be in NYC for a w/e at the end of the month. Before arriving in NYC I fly from Europe and then straight into a very hectic business trip of 4 west coast states/cities in 4 days.

Any suggestions on where to go for a turkish bath, massage, or other treatment which will help revive me so I cam enjoy the city?

Sally, Where are you staying? Mario Badescu is a great spa as is Bliss Spa downtown. Don't know anything about turkish baths, sorry.

Thanks Michelle - hotel still tbc but likely midtown

Haven't been but this sounds good from NY Magazine

GRACEFUL SPA
205 W. 14th St., Second fl.
212-675-5145
When facials at some spas run toward $500 and massages are topping $200, it's a relief to find a new spot that's both pampering and reasonable. Graceful Spa, opened by 26-year-old Li Huang (whose mother, Grace Macnow, owns the more basic Graceful Services uptown), has heated massage tables, ceiling speakers in each room, elegant stone-tiled bathrooms, and a makeup room. In addition to Qigong massages that are as strong and therapeutic as you'll get anywhere, there are hot-stone massage, body scrubs, parafango wraps, and an array of facials. All massages and facials are a mere $80, while wraps and scrubs are $60. You can mix your treatments at a dollar a minute, so that $150 will buy you two and a half hours of well-priced bliss.

Hey McLaurie, spoke to a friend of mine that does lifestyle PR and she said that Graceful is not a place she recommends at all. Certainly nowhere near something like Bliss.
