They have not yet submitted all of the required information, but once they do, we will complete our review.” Health Department Press Secretary Levi Fishman informed us Thursday afternoon that Spa Castle is “currently in the process of applying for the permit to operate a bathing establishment.
This Tuesday, just before 6 p.m., the Health Department shut down the spa until further notice. This caught the Health Department’s attention, and it turned a sharp eye on the Premier 57 location, too, only to find its pools, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms to be operating without a permit. Then, in December, Forest Hills resident Hock Ma was discovered dead in a rooftop hot tub at Spa Castle College Point. First, Premier 57’s future neighbors, the Ritz Tower at 465 Park Avenue, filed suit, citing a 1974 agreement ensuring the Ritz an unobstructed view over their neighbor’s roof (it was denied, and the roof now has six foot-soaking stations). This promise of relaxation without other people’s toddlers running around, paired with the convenience of Midtown East, generated plenty of excitement this fall.īut the season has not been a happy one for Spa Castle. It costs slightly more than College Point ($65 for a day pass, versus $40), boasts an aromatherapy room with a waterfall cascade, and doesn’t admit kids. Like its significantly larger Queens equivalent, Premier 57 is a Korean megaspa with rooftop jet pools, clothing-optional hot tubs in the locker rooms, and milk-and-honey full-body exfoliation stations. Spa Castle’s Premier 57, the younger Manhattan cousin of Spa Castle College Point in Queens, opened in Midtown last month.
