New York Hotels

More commonly heard as “spa” in the United States, its lesser known moniker is becoming more and more popular, most likely due to an internet audience being truly global. In much of the world, spa therapies is known as thalasso, a derivative of a greek word, thalassa, which means sea. The therapy is based on the notion that sea water, sea weed, mineral salts and trace elements carry curative as well as preventative properties.

Although this system was significanty developed in France, it is now an omnipresent part of many of our lives world-wide.
