Dior’s New York Flagship Debuts A Luxury Spa

Atop Dior’s four-story flagship sitting on the corner of Madison Avenue and 57th Street, it a serene retreat where the tempo slows, above the energetic streets of New York. It’s now the home of fine threads and facials.

Christian Dior once said, “In essence American women are impeccable. I hasten to admit that this constant desire for beauty has made American women really beautiful” was it was the job of long-time collaborator, tastemaker and New-York based architect, Peter Marino to channel this into a look.

Known for his work with leading fashion houses, galleries, and hotels like the super chic Cheval Blanc Paris and Four Seasons New York, the Marino-designed space combines his signature minimal, refined aesthetic with Dior’s own codes. It results in the perfect backdrop for the women’s and men’s collections, alongside the leather goods, fine jewelry and fragrances showcased on the floors below.

When it comes to the treatments, in true Dior fashion, they’re indulgent and exacting, offering everything from exclusive face and body treatments that echo the Maison’s dedication to haute couture perfection. Here, there’s bespoke treatments that are tailored to each person’s skin type and goals, combining age-old techniques with high technology for the very best of both worlds.

Talking of cutting edge technology, Dior fully embraces scientific experience of skincare, coining it the “Science of Haute Wellness” which adheres to three key pillars: Haute-Definition, Haute-Technology, and Haute-Touch.

First up, Haute-Definition is all about in depth skin analysis for detailed, personalized results according to each person’s complexion, looking at hydration, elasticity, pH and collagen levels among others, making use of Cortex Technology, a global leader in precision skin tools.

Take the Haute Couture Facial, for example; this non-invasive treatment is fully customized, defining facial contours, improving texture and luminosity via a mix of cold laser, ultrasound, microcurrent, LED, cryotherapy, and oxygen infusion, and is exclusive to the New York outpost.

The Prêt-à-Porter treatments have been designed to soothe the mind, body and soul, incorporating sensory experiences, from the sculpting Kobi Dior treatment that eases tension in the face and upper back, using dry brushing and microstimulation, to the deeply cleansing hydra facial, the Golden Aura facial designed to rejuvenate and boosting hydration. This sits alongside the Maison’s signature New Look slimming and firming massage to sculpt, and the athletic recovery deep massage, named D-Tissue — its name also nods to Christian’s revolutionary New Look collection in 1947.

For those who are interesting in restoring their inner piece, look to the Constellation experience, it’s incorporates all the senses to bring about relaxation through holistic massage, and the 9 Moons relieves tension during pregnancy.

Light Therapies is another staple at the spa, and here, the sun’s natural benefits are mimicked to help to rebalance energy and sleep cycles. And if that wasn’t enough, for the first time, and exclusive to this site, Dior offers its Happiness program. Co-created with Dr. François Duforez, medical doctor and sleep clinician, who’s an expert in sleep medicine and performance optimization, the program uses light to work on emotions, encouraging the production of serotonin and dopamine.
