After five years of construction, a Dior Spa has officially opened in New York City, the first permanent one stateside. Square footage is under wraps, per brand policy, but the oasis is perched on the top floor of the brand’s flagship on Madison Avenue and 57th Street, newly renovated by designer Peter Marino. It’s the only Dior in the world with an in-boutique wellness space.

As one might expect, the spa has no shortage of special luxuries. A custom scent crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, Dior’s perfume creation director, wafts through the vents. A wall featuring 40,000 hand-placed pieces of mother-of-pearl adorns a treatment room; the floral motif was partially assembled in the Philippines before being finished in New York.
