Chinatown · 115 Mott Street
A quiet room in the middle of the city's busiest streets
Right off the energy of Mott Street, minutes from Canal Street and the Manhattan Bridge, Rio Grande Spa gives you a still, unhurried space to reset. Our Mott Street location focuses on what people ask for most — hands-on back rub and foot rub therapy, with optional hot stone work, tailored to how your body's feeling that day.

Welcome
A moment of stillness on Mott Street
Chinatown moves fast — the markets, the foot traffic, the constant motion between Canal Street and the bridge. Our treatments are built to counter that pace: real pressure where you need it, quiet where you don't, and a pace that's entirely yours.
Rio Grande Spa sits at 115 Mott Street, a short walk from Canal Street, the Manhattan Bridge, and the 6, J, N, Q, R, W and Z lines at Canal St station. Once you're through the door, the street noise fades into warm lighting, low music, and a team that pays attention to how you're actually holding tension that day.
This location keeps things focused: back rub and foot rub, done well, with the option to combine both in one longer visit.

What We Do
Two treatments, done right
Simple, focused, and built around what your body needs — pick one, or combine them for a longer reset.
Foot Rub
Between the markets and the crowds, tired feet need real attention. Relax into a comfortable chair while we ease out the ache, one pressure point at a time.

Why Rio Grande Spa
A still point in the heart of Chinatown
A welcoming space to slow down, breathe, and take care of yourself without leaving the neighborhood.
Treatments tailored to you
No two guests get the same visit. We adjust pressure, technique and pacing to your comfort and the service you've chosen.
Two services, done properly
We keep this location focused on Back Rub and Foot Rub, so every session gets full attention instead of a menu spread thin.
Right in the neighborhood
We're on Mott Street between the markets and the bridge, close to Canal Street and the Canal St subway hub.
Open every day of the week
Appointments run 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM — early enough before your day and late enough after it.
