The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Beijing

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.

Formerly an Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Lan is trained in both Chinese and Western medicine and also lectures in Traditional Chinese Medicine 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 wellbeing where it is needed most.

Spa Director Cassandra Forrest explains: “In keeping with the highly personalised 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 like Biologique Recherche has allowed us to customise 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 Treatments and Traditional Chinese Medicine consultations and treatments, The Spa is the first in the city to offer unique 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 seven distinct, revitalizing massages, such as Volcanic LaStone - a complete body massage that incorporates heated volcanic stones and cold white stones to improve energy flow and circulation, working on muscle tension at the deepest level.

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 Spa boasts 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 and party packages.

The Spa even offers treatment to hotel guests in the comfort of their own rooms. With its unique Bath Butler Service, hotel guests can enjoy their own personal water restorative session prepared by a Spa Bath Butler. Each personal bath is delicately arranged with a blend of soothing essential oils and fresh ingredients to lift the body, mind and spirit.
