The Waldorf Astoria New York has officially unveiled the Guerlain Wellness Spa, marking the latest—and most expansive—chapter in the French Maison’s global wellness story. At 22,000 square feet, it’s Guerlain’s largest spa worldwide. Created in partnership with Trilogy Spa Holdings, it is designed to anchor the hotel’s return as a modern landmark of holistic luxury.
Occupying the hotel’s fifth floor, the new Guerlain Wellness Spa blends old-world glamour with high-tech longevity. Sixteen treatment rooms, including two VIP suites, surround an array of immersive features: a Moroccan hammam, an arctic snow cave for cold therapy, and a cryotherapy chamber. Guests can choose from targeted one-hour “power sessions,” multi-month wellness programs, or three-day retreats that integrate Guerlain’s four wellness pillars—nutrition, movement, sleep, and mindfulness.
“We are thrilled to open the world’s largest Guerlain Wellness Spa at the iconic Waldorf Astoria New York,” said Gabrielle Saint-Genis, CEO of Maison Guerlain. “More than a hotel spa, this is a true sanctuary nestled in the heart of Manhattan—a place where beauty, wellness, and longevity converge.”
Several exclusive rituals nod to the hotel’s icons: Spirit of Achievement, inspired by the gilded statue atop the Waldorf, and Like Clockwork, which incorporates vibroacoustic sound to evoke the hotel’s famed lobby clock. Guerlain’s proprietary LongeviSkin device, a system integrating seven skincare technologies—from LED to radiofrequency, highlights the spa’s investment in results-driven innovation.
The design by Wimberly Interiors references the hotel’s Art Deco heritage, pairing sculptural metallics with the soft elegance of a Parisian maison. Adjacent to the spa, a 7,000-square-foot fitness center by Pierre-Yves Rochon offers Technogym consultations and semi-private training.
For Waldorf Astoria’s residential owners, Guerlain has also created a private wellness suite on the 25th floor, complete with a lap pool and in-residence spa access. Two Guerlain boutiques will debut later this year on the ground level.
