CHI, The Spa makes official debut

It is Singapore's first CHI.

According to a release, Singapore’s first CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La officially opened at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore on 7 December 2012. Nestled amidst 15 acres of lush tropical greenery, CHI draws inspiration from the origins of the Shangri-La legend, a place of personal peace and well-being.

Unique treatments that define Singapore’s CHI include the Singapore Wave and Tropical Retreat, inspired by the local blend of energy and multicultural heritage.

CHI offers nine treatment rooms. In traditional Chinese philosophy, “chi” is the universal life force that governs wellbeing and personal vitality. It is believed that “chi” must flow freely within the body to maintain good health.

CHI presents a personal sanctuary where holistic treatments are based on time-honoured methods shared by many Asian cultures. A spectrum of massages, facials and treatments is available under different categories.

“CHI, The Spa’s unique location amidst 15 acres of lush, tropical gardens makes it the perfect retreat within the heart of Singapore. Leisure and business travellers alike will appreciate this new facility to complement their garden resort experience. At CHI, guests will find tranquillity, sincerity and something a great deal rarer – our Shangri-La hospitality delivered from the heart,” said Manfred Weber, general manager of ShangriLa Hotel, Singapore.  

CHI, The Spa comprises nine treatment rooms, including three rooms for couples. Both female and male locker rooms feature individual shower rooms; some of the shower rooms can be converted into steam rooms.

The spa also features a reception lounge as well as a relaxation lounge, where guests will be served welcome tea during the pretreatment consultation.

The new spa complements Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore’s extensive health and leisure facilities, such as the 24-hour gymnasium, outdoor lagoon-shaped swimming pool, floodlit outdoor tennis courts and pitch-and-putt mini golf course.
