I'm glad to hear you made the right choice^

For a spa, you can have the hotel book massage/treatments for you at Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton Central Park, or The Peninsula as a day spa guest. They're so close by, it's almost as convenient as having a spa at the hotel.

Hope you're lucky enough to enjoy their suites. The lobby afternoon tea is scrumptious as well.

Good choice and agree you can literally cross the street and enjoy the Peninsula spa and their rooftop pool with great views. Have a great time.

We didn't care for the extra space and since the service is the same we stuck with a room. The Virtuoso rate that upgraded to the suite was significantly higher.

And thanks guys for the spa recommendations! We're going to check out the Peninsula. The Guerlain and MO spas look great too.

To be honest, any good Virtuoso agent with connections will have you in an Astor suite regardless of booking class and rate!

Yeah, for $170/night extra. Not worth it imo
