Perched up on the 72nd floor of the W Hotel, Bliss Spa has superb harbor views and fantastic facilities. Hailing from New York, the Bliss brand doesn’t take itself too seriously, and treatment rooms are a world away from whalesongs and waterfalls—instead, guests are treated to platters of brownies, olives and cheese, and rooms are decorated in a cheerful blue, with rubber ducks to accompany you in your bath soak. It has a manpedi zone which is perfect for pre-wedding parties with your bridesmaids, and its range of Bliss body and facial treatments are popular stateside for their dramatic, skin-perfecting results. Their signature Blissage is a 75-minute massage that envelops your feet in a warm paraffin wax while your tensions are rubbed away.
