CityWell is a mini urban oasis of calm, designed for a short stint of self care. I took advantage of a Backyard Bliss 2 hour session and magically had the whole place to myself. The staff are so, so lovely and kind. My 45 minute massage was peaceful and restorative. I loved the steam room and the hot tub and the hammock and the snacks. I would absolutely go back but do 3 hours! They are open rain or shine or snow. Thank you for a lovely day!
Literally felt the stress melting away.....City Well from the front door does not give you any indication of what your about to step into. It's a breathtakingly warm and welcoming oasis. The smells of Palo Santo and mint instantly brought me to a happy place. The attentiveness of both the owner Liz and the hostess was amazing. Before my experience began I was already pleased. To my surprise my massage was with Liz, how lucky was I! Fluffy slippers, comfy robe, lemon water...the ambiance was so perfect. Hot stones, hot towels, customized aromatherapy and magical hands; a perfect combination to melt away years of stress. I truly found my place, so in love with the experience and will be going back again.
I came here for a self-care day after the death of a close friend, and CityWell was absolutely wonderful to me. Had a 30 min soak and sauna not sure if I paid for private, but it was, which was amazing!! and a 75 min massage with Beth. Everything was so peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend.
This is an amazing place that you almost can't believe exists -- a warm and wonderful spa snuggled right into Gowanus speakeasy-like. The best part is Liz, the owner and massage therapist, and all around dreammaker. I was planning my mom's milestone birthday there and she did everything from some serious schedule jujitsu to make it happen to the most impeccable small touches like welcome birthday wishes. And then made her guest of honor feel feted and relaxed. This is a special spot. Go.
amazing! such a relaxing evening in the hot tub and sauna. we will be back
I always love visiting CityWell! They’re kind and easygoing, and taught me to spin the towel while in the sauna to bring the heat down when it’s stuck at the top. I appreciate the community hours!
Magical and wonderful paradise! The second I stepped in, my soul, my mind and my body started to relax. Super warm and soothing staff with great hospitality. I had the best massage of my life by the owner, Liz, and have been going back every 3 months - the only place I've gone frequently besides my gym since covid. My partner also said he had the best massage from Liz. Highly recommend - the massage that feels like meditation!
I want to keep this place a secret because I know once word gets out there will be a waitlist. Good for the business, bad for me. This place is an amazing self care oasis in the back of a Brooklyn brownstone. They have a beautiful rain shower, steam room, sauna, hot tub, lounge area, tea, water, snacks, coloring books, towels and bliss. You won't want to leave even after spending two hours here. This little gem is a great staycation hygge living and will be even better in the cold of winter. I would give this a million stars if I could. Will be back to try a massage next.
Outdoor hot tub, sauna, fire pit, lounge chairs...indoor steam room and massage...how pedestrian. Honestly, this place is like no other I’ve ever been. As great as the amenities and services are, Liz is even better.
5 stars are not enough stars for this place. cityWell Brooklyn is fabulous. Their entire team is incredible. They went above and beyond for us, and the entire time we were there, it felt like a vacation. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
