Since this thread is specifically on Babylon, I'll post here on my first visit rather than the eternal Spas in NYC mishmash. Babylon is a very decent place. Physical facilities wise, I'd compare it similarly to Greenhouse. Nice size rooms, full floor to ceiling walls, good A/C, clean and quiet. The massage table was good size and happily it was one of few face rests where my face didn't go numb after 50 minutes into a 90 minute session. They don't have hot towels, but they have a kickass shower like I've never seen.
And the massage... I know we're not supposed to do outright reviews, so I'll just say that August is all he's made out to be above in this thread and other threads. I'd rate it was one of the top two technical massages I've ever had in a spa. The mix of style and deepness were perfect. Add in the sensual and HE components, amazing $80 deal for 90 minutes.
Two things I really appreciated... 1. Communication - even though his English is challenged, he's one of the first Spa masseurs that introduced himself, asked my name and engaged me at the beginning and then followed up with a text after on how I was feeling. 2. No massage through a towel - from the get go he massaged me, hands to skin and used oil very sparingly.
Most definitely will be back. Want to try Dylan. August is a real keeper.
