Sometimes it takes a glamorous aesthetician who was born in Poland, trained in France, and then toiled in Manhattan to really get it. Five years after she opened Rescue, Danuta Mieloch remains peerless. Her space: spare yet luxurious, central yet secluded. Her products: splurge-y yet essential.

Nurture Spa

Not too big. Not too small. Not too trendy, fussy, pricey or offbeat. Just crisp, modern, relaxing (seriously, a facial with Lorrie or Nora has been known to induce gentle snoring), and thorough enough to be restful and glamorous and effective. In other words, just right.

Stretch out the tranquility with a post-treatment sojourn to the adjacent pool.
