2013-07-10 — /travelprnews.com/ — The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Beijing combines a philosophy of absolute individuality with some of the world’s most clinically advanced therapies to offer personalized renewal for all.
In a first for the city, The Spa fuses indigenous Chinese ingredients and time-honoured traditions with cutting edge techniques and technology to present treatments as decadent and effective as any available in the world today. Combined with facilities extending from a magical Tea Garden to superlative wet wellness areas, the end result is a luxurious enclave of renewal in China’s cultural heart.
At the heart of this multi-faceted approach to customized wellness and vitality lies internationally acclaimed French skincare brand Biologique Recherche, and the renowned expertise of Dr. Lan Jirui – one of Beijing’s leading authorities on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Formerly an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Lan is trained in both Chinese and Western medicine and also lectures in TCM at Peking University. His intuitive diagnostic ability, along with his propensity to merge therapies and sensibilities from East and West, has earned him and his specialist team a loyal following in the Chinese capital.
Based on a philosophy of absolute individuality, Dr. Lan offers private consultations and TCM treatments that span a spectrum of techniques from therapeutic massage to acupressure, cupping, and scraping – restoring balance and well being where it is needed most.
Spa Director Cassandra Forrest explains: “In keeping with the highly personalized approach of our Hotel, we wanted to create a space where guests come for the ultimate in luxurious renewal: somewhere where they know they are receiving a service tailored exclusively for them. Working with a brand such as Biologique Recherche has allowed us to customize all of our treatments to individual skin care needs, while Dr. Lan’s intuitive diagnostic ability and fusion of medicinal practices from East and West adds a holistic dimension rarely encountered in a luxury spa.”
In addition to its Signature Renewal Rituals and Traditional Chinese Medicine consultations and treatments, The Spa is the only hotel spa in Beijing to offer both Biologique Recherche Facials and Body Treatments – a combination of astoundingly effective and personally tailored serums and complexes in conjunction with bioelectronic therapies to stimulate, lift and sculpt cells and muscles.
The Spa also offers an extensive list of beauty enhancement treatments and eight distinct revitalizing massages, such as the signature Asian Fusion Massage, which combines specialized techniques from all over Asia, including Chinese manipulation and rocking, Thai stretching and shiatsu pressure point. Blended together with flowing, dance-like movements and the Spa’s green tea oil, it relieves stress and restores energy balance.
Located on the 6th floor, The Spa’s eleven cocooning treatment rooms showcase sophisticated Chinese design elements, arranged around a lush inner Tea Garden that soars 23 floors skywards to a sun-lit glass atrium. Two expansive double VIP treatment rooms with steam shower and bathtubs combine with four opulent double treatment rooms and five single treatment rooms in an atmosphere designed to promote positive energy and relaxation.
In addition, the floor dedicated to promoting wellness has state-of-the-art fitness facilities and its own sunlit pool and whirlpool with cityscape views, while separate men’s and women’s wet wellness areas – each equipped with sauna, steam room, deluxe whirlpool and ice fountain – provide a welcoming respite from the demands of modern urban life. The Spa also offers a range of Kids’ Mini Treatments, as well as specially tailored bridal boot camp and party packages.
Starting in October 2013, The Spa will offer an extension of the wellness experience to Hotel guest rooms with its unique Bath Butler Service. Hotel guests will be able to enjoy their own personal restorative water session prepared by a Spa Bath Butler in the comfort and convenience of their own rooms. Each personal bath is delicately arranged with a blend of soothing essential oils and fresh ingredients to lift the body, mind and spirit.
Spa and Health Club Memberships are also available for those who want to integrate Four Seasons wellness into their daily lives.
