QC New York was named one of Citizen Femme’s Best Spas in the World 2026, making it one of 21 spas worldwide and one of four in North America.
Named best for a breathtaking backdrop, the spa was recommended by Courtney Griffiths, Citizen Femme’s head of community and experiences, who gushed about everything from the ferry ride to Governors Island to the pools with unmatched Manhattan skyline views.
QC New York, the first American outpost of the famed QC Spa of Wonders, is located on Governors Island and opened in 2022. With eleven locations across Europe, QC Spa of Wonders is celebrated for its blend of Italian luxury and curated wellness experiences.
To sustain momentum beyond QC New York’s initial launch, PKPR developed and executed a strategic campaign to drive media interest and social engagement during the slower fall and winter seasons.
We secured top accolades, including National Geographic’s Best Wellness Experience 2024 and New York Magazine’s Best Day Spa. By positioning QC New York’s leadership as industry thought leaders, we landed interviews in Travel Weekly, Commercial Observer, Forbes, and Reader’s Digest. A winter programming launch event generated more than 18 million social impressions, while creative influencer campaigns—like “Where Broadway Goes to Spa” and “Where New York Fashion Week Goes to Spa”—amplified QC’s cultural relevance and broadened its reach.
