During my recent trip to NY, I finally had the chance to visit the stunning QC NY Spa!
In this QC NY Spa review, you’ll find lots of QC NY spa photos so you can see exactly what this luxury NY spa is like. I’ve included details on the services offered by QC NY Spa, the famous QC NY Spa Birthday Package, and all the details on QC NY Spa services.
QC NY Spa Review
The QC NY Spa is a magical and luxurious NY Spa. The spa has been on my bucket list for a number of years. My trips to New York are always shorter than I’d like so I’m always a little pushed for time. On this NYC trip, I stayed for 2 weekends so I had enough time to squeeze in lots of walking and a trip to QC NY Spa. It was better than I imagined and it is well worth a visit.
I met up with my friend, who lives in NY, and we took a 5 minute ferry ride from Downtown Manhattan over to Governors Island. Taking the ferry was easy and very quick. It was my first time on Governors Island so I enjoyed being on the water and seeing the views of the city and Governors Island.
QC NY Spa was less than a 5 minute walk from the ferry station so we were at the spa very quickly. As soon as I entered, I knew we would have a relaxing time. We were met with cozy interiors, breathtaking views of the New York City skyline and friendly staff to guide us on our way.
The Amenities at the QC NY Spa
After checking in, we were able to wander to the locker rooms, where there was a plush bathrobe and slippers waiting for us. In the locker rooms, there were extra touches such as Dyson hairdryers, lotions, and wet swimsuit bags. I loved the little touches throughout the spa.
There are so many amenities at the QC NY Spa that it was hard to enjoy all of them. There are over 20 wellness experiences at the spa and plenty of relaxation areas to enjoy.
There are many outdoor pools with different temperatures. This was my favorite part of the spa experience at QC NY Spa. We hopped from pool to pool, caught up, and enjoyed the beautiful city skyline views from Governors island.
In the colder months, the outdoor infinity spa pools are the perfect relaxing treat. The spa is open year round and has heated walkways and tunnels to keep you wam during winter.
There are steam rooms, water therapies, foot baths, vichy showers, reflection rooms, different saunas with different themes and relaxation rooms for you to enjoy throughout your visit.
It was our first time at the spa so we enjoyed a day pass and were really wowed by the amenities. We skipped a massage this time. Regardless, we were very relaxed and rejuvenated leaving the spa. Massages are offered by QC NY Spa, which you can read about below.
You’ll find a selection of calming beauty rituals along the wellness path, from beauty scrubs and masks to face training. You can unwind with the Energizing Foot Therapy in the Lavender Room or experience the Multisensory Seaweed Ritual in the Horizon Room. These products are all included in the entrance fee.
QC Spa NYC is definitely the perfect place to spend a few hours or a full day relaxing. A relaxing spa day is always a good idea! One of my favorite things about the spa was that it was a friendly place to relax. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The overall ambience was very friendly, welcoming, and laid back.
Massage Services offered by QC NY Spa
As I mentioned above, we enjoyed a day pass and had an amazing experience at QC NY Spa. QC NY Spa offers massages in either 25, 50 or 75 minute increments. If you decide to enjoy a massage while you are there, I recommend enjoying a 50 or a 75 minute massage. I find a 25 minute massage is too short. Just when you are settling in, the time is up!
QC NY spa is a popular destination for girls’ meetups, couple date days, and bachelorette parties. It’s a great option because it offers the perfect wellness experience for those who want to admire the NYC skyline from the outdoor spa pools and those who want a relaxing massage too. QC NY luxury spa is one of the best spas I’ve been to for an extensive experience without enjoying a spa treatment.

How to get to QC NY Spa from Manhattan
Getting to QC NY Spa is a quick, 5 minute ferry ride from downtown Manhattan to Governors Island. Your spa pass will include a complimentary ticket to ride the ferry. The ferry timetable can be found here.
Ferries leave daily from the Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street. To get to 10 South Street, take the subway to South Ferry (1 Train), Bowling Green (4 and 5 Train), or Whitehall Street (R Train). You can also arrive on buses M9, M15, M20, or M55.
When you get off the Ferry at Soissons Landing, walk up the hill and make a right on Andes Road and QC NY Spa will be on your right, in the buildings between LMCC’s Arts Center and Castle Williams.
If you are enjoying the sunset pass or at the spa in the evening, make sure you are in time for the last ferry as the island shuts down overnight.
