Archive Lofts has been billed as “where Tribeca-style living meets an East Side address,” and that applies to this loft condominium’s retail tenant as well: Just over a decade after AIRE Ancient Baths opened its first United States location in a former Tribeca textile factory, it has been announced that the wellness spa will open its second location in the base of the Lenox Hill art warehouse turned luxury condominium. Residents are set to enjoy a VIP priority relationship with AIRE Ancient Baths, which comes with such perks as a complimentary Ancient Thermal Bath experience for two, complimentary fresh fruit juice and wellness shots, priority access, and presale for special events for public access begins.
The forthcoming AIRE Ancient Baths location comes at a time when luxury developers have incorporated features like hot tubs, infrared saunas, “water lounges,” and hammams into their amenity packages. Below, we look at the buildings whose amenity suites are most likely to be confused for exclusive spas.
