Founded by Eric Litman in 2017, Conde Nast Traveler & Forbes-celebrated Aescape is an AI-powered robotic massage system that delivers a fully automated, customizable treatment designed to put more control into your hands. You can delight in the bliss for yourself throughout the city at multiple Equinox locations, as well as in the next-level exclusive iLa Only Spa At The Lotte New York Palace.
Eric Litman is an entrepreneur, angel investor, and CEO of Aescape, Inc. Litman co-founded Proxicom, expanded Viaduct through a merger with the Wolf Group, and later founded Medialets, a mobile ad-serving and analytics company acquired by WPP plc. His career and insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Wired, and he was recognized as a 2010 Game Changer by the New York Enterprise Report.
In the past seven years, Aescape has fine-tuned its technology with insights from skilled massage therapists, ensuring it offers a soothing and personalized experience for diverse body types and needs. "Worth The Hype" as stated by The New York Times, this machine-driven approach feels inherently human, set in a serene, comfortable atmosphere.
You'll change into a specialized bodysuit, then lie face-down on the massage table. A personalized welcome on a screen will set the stage for the ultimate tranquility. The robot performs an in-depth body scan, using over 1.1 million 3D data points to precisely map your position and identify key areas for treatment. The intuitive touchscreen interface lets you customize the playlist & visuals of your session.
The robot’s warm, heated massage heads make contact, applying a gentle yet precise kneading that instantly relaxes the muscles. Unlike typical massage chairs or handheld devices, Aescape’s touch varies fluidly between firm and gentle, creating a rhythm that’s incredibly soothing. Mirroring the nuanced techniques of a skilled therapist, the combination of warmth, thoughtful pressure, and organic motion will leave you with a sense of serenity you'll adore.
Convenient and transformative? We're all in...
