Vancouver's Shangri-La Hotel is arguably one of the world’s leading luxury hotels. When it comes to its wellness retreats, this is where the wow-factor really sets in. As soon as guests step off the fifth-floor elevator, they are instantly transported to an elegant sanctuary of tranquillity at the award-winning CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La.
Although the spa prides itself on its sumptuous surroundings, it is also very much focused on traditional Asian healing techniques, which are based on the principles of restoring balance and harmony to the mind and body. CHI incorporates wellness philosophies from a number of ancient Eastern cultures, including China, Thailand, India and the Philippines.
Spa manager Mariska Hooijberg explains, “CHI offers unique treatments fusing Eastern and Western therapeutic practices combined with the highest standards in design, service and delivery. Every visit to CHI is a truly unforgettable experience.”
