Reception at Rio Grande 87 Spa, a head spa on East 87th Street on the Upper East Side of New York
Welcome

Wellness that fits an Upper East Side pace

Between the school runs, the meetings, and the miles walked past the museums, your shoulders and feet carry more than you notice. Our treatments are built to unwind that tension quickly and send you back out feeling reset, not groggy.

Rio Grande 87 Spa sits on East 87th Street, moments from Central Park, the Q train at 86th Street, and the Museum Mile corridor. Step inside and the avenue noise fades — soft lighting, warm woods, and a team that reads how you’re holding tension and adjusts the pressure and pacing accordingly.

Come in for one focused treatment, or stack a few together and turn a short break into a full reset.
