Wellness at altitude in Hudson Yards, rooftop yoga above the skyline, an infrared sauna built for recovery, and in-room amenities that keep the ritual going.
Equinox Hotel New York sits inside Hudson Yards with wellness built into its architecture rather than added on top. The rooftop deck holds a heated pool and twin barrel saunas above the city, the setting for yoga sessions that trade four walls for open sky. Downstairs, the 27,000-square-foot spa centers recovery through an infrared sauna, cryotherapy, and sound-based therapies, while every room carries the ritual forward with a Grown Alchemist bath collection and an in-room toolkit built for practice between sessions. It is a hotel that treats stillness and performance as the same pursuit.
The Details
What makes it Kobu
A short walk from the hotel, Equinox partners with Edge, the 100th-floor sky deck at 30 Hudson Yards, to run Sky-High Yoga above the city, mats laid out on the glass floor, 1,100 feet up. Back at the hotel, the wellness continues at ground level: a heated rooftop pool with skyline views, an infrared sauna built for real recovery, and a spa menu that treats restoration as seriously as any workout. It's the kind of place where the practice doesn't end when class does.
Downstairs, the infrared sauna does something few spa amenities manage: it makes recovery feel like the main event rather than an afterthought. Paired with the in-room wellness toolkit, yoga mat, resistance band, foam roller, and a Grown Alchemist bath collection built around ingredients grown on the High Line, the wellness experience continues long after guests leave the spa floor. It's a hotel that treats rest as seriously as performance, and that balance is exactly what we set out to capture.
