Why was Spa Castle closed?
It found the facility lacked a permit and an approved safety plan – both of which are required for all bathing establishments in New York City. This failure to comply with basic measures resulted in the closure of the 39,000sq ft (3,623sq m) spa, which only opened in December. We closed Spa Castle in Manhattan because they were found to be operating without a permit or an approved safety plan, a spokeswoman told the publication, which is required for all bathing establishments in New York City.
Is Spa Castle separated by gender?
The bath and locker lounges are gender separated. All other amenities, the indoor/outdoor pools, saunas & lounges are co-ed/unisex. Can we wear our bathing suits inside the hot tubs in the locker rooms? Bathing suits are not permitted in these areas. Most people wear a well-rinsed swimsuit in a hot tub—ideally one that’s free of detergents, lotions, or fabric softeners. Some choose to wear older swimwear or dedicated “hot tub” clothing, while others may choose to soak nude in a private setting. Whatever you choose, comfort and cleanliness are key.
