From the visionaries behind the QC Terme Spas & Resorts empire in Italy, QC NY marks the very first property in the United States, located on picturesque Governors Island. After 5 years of planning, building, and restoration, tickets will officially be available for purchase on Wednesday February 9th, 2022 at qcny.com.
Tickets will be sold for early access dates starting March 4th, 2022. Early ticket holders will be some of the very first to experience the brand new Italian day spa.
Just minutes from the bustle of Manhattan via ferry, visitors will immediately find themselves transported to an enchanting oasis complete with gorgeous grounds featuring unprecedented views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey, relaxation rooms (each with its own meticulously curated personality, scent, and music), themed saunas, and other incredible wellness experiences such as vichy showers, infrared beds, foot baths, hydro jets, steam baths and more.
Luxurious bathrobes, sandals, towels, shower products and a storage locker will all be provided; all that is needed is a swimsuit.
The outdoor pools will be closed during this “early access” period, though QC NY is excited to open the pools after finishing touches are complete. (date TBD)
In addition to all of the spa amenities, guests will have the option to purchase massage treatments and can choose from 25, 50, or 75 minute sessions; which can be customized with choice of music, technique, and aromas.
Italian bites and alcoholic beverages from Mionetto Prosecco, illy Coffee, and more will also be available for purchase in the bistro. No need to carry around a wallet, as loadable bracelets will be distributed at arrival for easy payment.
“QC NY is the escape and pampering that New Yorkers have been waiting for. After years of planning, restoration, and building, we are so proud to bring this enchanting oasis to the city,” says Janine DiGioacchino, CEO of QC US, “Now, more than ever, we all need and deserve mental and physical self-care. QC NY is the perfect place to relax, revive, and restore.”
Francesco Varni, QC Group CEO continues “We are thrilled to see the New York vision come to life since we signed our lease five years ago on Governors Island. New York is the first QC Spa to open outside of Europe, and we are delighted to bring the quality and integrity of our spas to North America. We have plans to expand the QC experience not only in North America, but Worldwide.”
This investment of over 50 million dollars comes at a crucial time when the city is eager to reenergize.

About QC NY Spa:
QC NY is part of the renowned QC Terme Spas and Resorts, previously only found in Europe. This new destination day spa is located on Governors Island and is the only location outside of Europe. With abundant amenities and outdoor pools, it is the perfect hideaway where guests can truly Relax, Revive, and Restore.
QC Terme Spas and Resorts was established in 1982 in Italy by two brothers, Saverio and Andrea Quadrio Curzio. Ultimately, it was their vision and roots in construction that enabled them to expertly innovate and develop the global brand, which offer 9 incredible destinations throughout Europe that over 1.5 million visitors from around the world come to experience each year. Locations include Bormio Bagni Vecchi, Bormio Bagni Nuovi, Pre Saint Didier, Milano, Torino, Monte Bianco, San Pellegrino, Roma, Dolomiti, and Chamonix
Much of QC Terme is influenced by and rooted in history and culture. Ancient Roman Baths were places of wellness, pleasure, gathering, and relaxation. There, the thermal waters would offer physical wellness and spiritual rejuvenation. Their spas have upheld these traditions and philosophies, with unique nods to the local history throughout each of their locations in Italy and France: Milan, Rome, Bormio, San Pellegrino, Torino, Dolomiti, Pre Saint Didier, Chamonix, and Monte Bianco. On average, European patrons spend 8 hours at the spas – a true testament to the spa’s ability to allow people to slow down, and get lost in the experience.
QC NY marks the first QC Terme location to open in the United States, with more to come. Fittingly, the day spa is situated across three historic Army Barrack buildings on the island, which have been refurbished and preserved to maintain the rich history of the local property while bringing it new life.
