CLUB 27: A NEW CHAPTER IN MEMBERS-ONLY WELLNESS AT THE FOUR SEASONS DOWNTOWN
Contributor - Lindsey Friel | Lifestyle Consultant • 11/20/25
Private members’ clubs may dominate Manhattan’s buzz, with wellness running a close second. The two share a certain lure: exclusivity, polish, and the promise of something just out of reach. But merge them, and the effect becomes something far more worthwhile. The result is a quietly subtle space built for retrieval and renewal—a place for both finding and returning to yourself, where that restless buzz finally rests.
That’s the ethos behind Four Seasons’ Club 27, a boldly reimagined take on membership culture within the wellness world. Created by Senior Spa Director Tara Cruz, the club was conceived as an answer to locals’ and frequent travelers’ need for respite in a city that often feels restless. The manifestation is brilliant: a quietly intimate downtown haven, free from pressure and built for focusing on one’s own rhythm of well-being.
The truth is, the wider wellness world exists in a constant hum—trends cycling in and out, discourse continuously shifting, and an exhausting chase toward some elusive benchmark. But true wellness is innate. It begins within, shaped by intention rather than suggestion. At Club 27, intention is both the anchor and the invitation: a dedicated space where it can grow, unbothered by outside noise.
“We really wanted to create an exclusive yet inclusive experience for our members, one that folds health and wellness into an overall lifestyle,” Cruz stated in the Four Seasons’ 2020 press release introducing the world to Club 27. “There was a lot of thought put into this offering to encompass an all-around wellness program for each member. We invite you to create your own reality and explore the possibilities of what you can achieve.”
Below, we break down everything Club 27 offers its members—the amenities, the benefits, and the thoughtful touches that shape the experience, making it all worthwhile.
THE OVERVIEW
Nestled inside the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, Club 27 is a private wellness enclave designed for those who seek ritual over routine. With access to the Hotel’s 5-Star Wellness Floor and a collection of exclusive benefits, members are invited into a quiet world where wellbeing exists in one considered space. It’s an everyday approach to what was once reserved for a single booked treatment — a wellness experience with unlimited access.

A collaboration between fitness and wellness
A 75-foot indoor heated lap pool. An outdoor spa patio. State-of-the-art fitness room. Steam rooms, an infrared sauna, meditation, yoga in both group and private formats, and highly personalized training sessions.
THE BENEFITS
Tailored to enhance your membership
Membership includes preferred hotel rates (arranged through the Spa Director/Manager), four complimentary 60-minute spa treatments or personal training sessions (inclusive of tax and gratuity), and a 15% savings on additional spa services.
Members also receive special pricing on 30-minute infrared sauna sessions, twelve annual guest passes, and advance access to signature wellness events, seasonal offerings, and exclusive promotions.
THE COST
The Restore Membership is billed annually at $10,995, while the Balance Membership is billed monthly at $1,195 — two pathways with the same benefits, exclusive offerings, and access, simply designed around your preferred style of commitment.

Originally from Pennsylvania, studied hospitality at Boston University but learned the most by wandering through the nooks and crannies of the industry itself. I spent time writing for small publications, highlighting lifestyle and hospitality through storytelling — my favorite medium. Admittedly, my love of the field has grown into an insatiable curiosity: always chasing the newest and coolest, the biggest and smallest, the in-betweens and overlooked. Now based in New York City, I remain enamored with the endless ways people gather, connect, and create experiences that stay with you long after you leave.
