CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La draws inspiration from the origins of the Shangri-La legend, a place of personal peace, enchantment and well-being.

CHI massages and treatments are based on authentic natural healing methods found in traditional well-being practices shared by many Asian cultures.  CHI, The Spa in the Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing also includes a selection of treatments that showcase Chinese culture and well-being traditions, such as the Empress Imperial Jade Journey and Jade Jewel Facial.  Surrender to the intuitive touch of our skilled therapists within the restorative luxury of CHI to revitalize the body and soothe the senses.

In traditional Chinese philosophy, "chi" or "Qi" is the universal life force that governs well-being and personal vitality.  For people to maintain good health, it is believed that "chi" must flow freely within the body and, when blocked, "dis-ease" and illness follow.  Movement is therefore a key element in releasing blockages.  Body massage, exercise, stretching, hydrotherapy, and movement of the mind through relaxation and meditation combine to assist the body's natural renewal and form the basis of the CHI spa philosophy.
