Lamey brings 15 years of experience to Trump SoHo, and was most recently director of spa at Omni Bedford Springs in Bedford, Pennsylvania, where she oversaw management and spa operations of the 30,000sq ft facility. She has also been spa operations and acting director at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel in Dallas, Texas.

“With a knack for curating spa menus reflective of a spa’s unique destination, we’re confident that Sandra will take our globally-recognised New York City spa to new heights,” said Gary Schweikert, general manager of Trump SoHo New York. “Her proven track record of innovative thinking ensures The Spa at Trump SoHo will continue to exceed guests’ expectations with unprecedented service and the highest quality of treatments.”

Inspired by Ivanka Trump’s travels, the Spa at Trump SoHo affords spa-goers the opportunity to experience traditional cultural bathing rituals of countries such as Turkey and Morocco. The Spa at Trump SoHo features nine private treatment rooms and wet rooms, a fitness centre with Technogym equipment, two separate hammams for men and women, plus indoor and outdoor relaxation areas.

“The Spa at Trump SoHo has a reputation for offering unique and one-of-a-kind treatments that entice both guests and locals,” said Lamey. “I look forward to expanding the already extensive menu with revitalising treatments that highlight New York City’s undeniable energy.”
