Since 1921, the Crown Building has presided over the midpoint of Manhattan; the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. Formerly the first home of the Museum of Modern Art, the 100-year-old building has undergone a monumental transformation. Rooms range from 775 to 2,770 square feet, with nearly 11-foot-high ceilings giving an extraordinary sense of space. More sumptuous are two bath houses that are like private spas within the spa. There, in apartment-like spaces complete with bedrooms and dining areas, small groups or couples can share a half- or full-day experience that revolves around a Moroccan hammam or eastern European banya, priced at $8,500 per couple for the full day.
