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, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou transports guests immediately into a world of quiet reflection as they traverse the lotus ponds to luxuriously appointed private treatment suite.  The 11 luxurious spa suites offer herbal steam shower facilities and a private changing area.  The treatment menu features the indulgent Oriental Pearl Radiance Facial, with pressure point face massage and pearl powder, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its cooling properties.  A selection of massages and spa treatments with roots in traditional Asian therapies helps restore vitality while guests savour timeless moments of relaxation.

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.
