When you visit New York City, you will, we promise you, do a lot of walking. Vacationers often find themselves exhausted in the city—feeling the burn of leg muscles they didn’t know they had.  Other travelers just want to get dolled up or pampered in the city that seriously never sleeps. And so, as you can imagine, spas are all over New York. But finding a spa in the city isn’t the hard part—it’s finding a spa that will give you exactly what you’re looking for while here. Whether you’re staying at Renaissance New York Hotel 57 or Renaissance Times Square, these three spas are just a hop, skip, and a traffic-dodging jump away.

We Have a Winner!

It’s one thing to like Maxwell’s music. But to be a fan, a true fan, takes more devotion than just liking the guy’s music. RoseAda Watts from Cleveland, Ohio, is a true fan of Maxwell. She’s also the winner of “The Renaissance of Cool” sweepstakes. Watts and her boyfriend are being flown out to catch the Maxwell show in NYC. They’ll be put up at the Renaissance New York Times Square and receive VIP tickets to the concert and afterparty.

She was, of course, happy to get the news that she’s the contest winner. “I’m so excited and thankful to be the winner of this contest!” said Watts, eager to pack her bags for the trip.

A big thanks to everyone who entered this contest. If you’re bummed Watts won this instead of you—just wait. We have some other contests coming up.
