Variety and pressure point perfection swept me away this morning during my Fusion Massage at Spa Merge, the newest spa on the block, stationed in the elegant Hilton Worldwide Hotel on 57th Street in New York City. If I hadn’t been streaming the whole thing live on UStream, there’s no doubt I would have slipped into beautifully golden slumbers.

The place is brand spankin’ new; you feel pristine the second you walk in the door. The spa opened a few weeks ago to provide treatments that focus on merging science and nature, thus the spa’s name. If you normally have difficult skin, Spa Merge has a full range of treatments that will cater especially to your skin type. The Spa Director Margaret Lora walked us through the concept of opening a spa that caters to a person who loves natural products and a strong belief in the power of science.

Spa Merge’s exclusive treatments are $50 during Spa Week, including the 45 Min Fusion Massage, the 45 Minute Spa Merge Facial and the Tub and Rub, a 15 Min Hydro Tub with 35 Min Shea Butter Wrap. To get you in the massage mood, I recorded the whole live-streaming. It’s really long… so if you just want a taste of the techniques, do a little fast forwarding to cut to the good parts. Oh wait, it was all good. And here’s Margaret Lora telling us about the spa (this one’s just a few minutes long… you can handle it). They still have a few appointments left for Spa Week! Call up Spa Merge and make your date with the midtown gates of heaven. 102-108 West 57th Street New York, NY 10019 646.484.4104
