Times Square, New York, is about to get its first spa as part of the 487-room Hyatt Hotel development.

The 4,200sq ft (390sq m) spa - which will be the only one in the area - will be open to both locals and guests and will include five treatment rooms - one of which will be for couples. The spa will offer a full range of services and treatments, including manicure and pedicure stations.

Spa visitors will also have access to the Dry Bar.

Rooms will have an "apartment-like" feel to them, with only 11 per floor. There will be a Presidential Suite featuring a private terrace overlooking Manhattan.

Designed by SLCE Architects and SPAN Architecture respectively, the hotel will also feature a 54-story glass exterior, and rooftop lounge.

Scheduled to open October 2013, other amenities at the hotel include a fitness centre and iPad check-in.
