"  If you&amp;#039;ve got four hours to spare (or your priorities in order), schedule yourself a head-to-toe pampering at the Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria New York. Located on the 19th floor, it&amp;#039;s a sanctum of tufted white walls, mixed cream tiles, and ecru floors. There&amp;#039;s a separate lounge to gather your thoughts (over cookies and champagne) before heading into one of the 14 treatment rooms. Each of the rooms has its own en-suite bathroom\u2014 meaning there&amp;#039;s no locker room awkwardness\u2014plush blankets, and an iPod loaded with classical music (though you can swap it out for your own soundtrack of Lady Gaga or Adele should you wish). Guerlain products (what else?) are proudly displayed on every surface. Start with the spa&amp;#039;s new bee-inspired Abeille Royale facial, which targets wrinkles using a mixture of serums, gels, and cleansers with ingredients like Ouessant honey and French royal jelly. Once layer after layer of toner, creams, and lotions had been slathered on my face and a quick steam bath opened up my pores, an extraction of oils and debris\u2014thanks to a summer of erratic weather\u2014left my complexion looking dewy. I&amp;#039;ll admit that I don&amp;#039;t recall every step that followed, because I was so comfortable I was drifting in and out of sleep. I do recall a paraffin wax for my hands, which made me feel a bit like a creature with gigantic wax gloves on, and then a perfumed foot massage. As a self-proclaimed perfume hater, I appreciated being able to choose which fragrance would be used in my massage, and went with a light citrus scent. When the 80-minute treatment was complete, my skin felt silky smooth, with an elusive glow that is typically only achieved after a really intense workout. I&amp;#039;d highly recommend following up the facial with a manicure and pedicure\u2014my therapist, Rodica, who has been at the spa since its opening in 2008, once did house calls for Harper&amp;#039;s Bazaar editor-in-chief Liz Tilberis. The spa&amp;#039;s latest offering uses milk and honey from hives housed at the Waldorf. I&amp;#039;m not sure if it was the intense spa treatment, the perfectly pink Essie shade on my hands, or the champagne, but I left the spa with an extra bounce in my step, despite the scorching 90-degree temperature outside. Though I typically find it hard to sit still for even an hour or two, I&amp;#039;d return in a heartbeat. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
