STYLEETC. HAIR, FACE, BODY Zen-like atmosphere at the Banyan Tree Spa Shanghai, above; Japanese stone garden at Amsterdam’s Nagomi Spa Hotel Okura, right SPA UPDATE Standout spas continue to debut globally, with a quartet of notables – all but one Asian-inspired – ready for their close-ups. Spread over three storeys, the Bund’s new Banyan Tree Spa Shanghai (banyantreespa.com) is a soothing sanctuary with a beauty salon, nail bar and 11 well-appointed treatment rooms offering, among other calming options, the brand’s renowned wraps and feted hot stone massages. In Amsterdam, a similar restful leitmotif pervades the 300sq m Nagomi Spa Hotel Okura (okura.nl), where guests can indulge in a range of treatments – including a signature 60-minute “oriental ceremony” body scrub and massage – as well as an assortment of healthy Japanese bites. Meanwhile, the Shangri-La Paris (shangri-la. com/paris) has just unveiled a duplex wellness centre anchored by a pool, a spa purveying body treatments by CARITA and a gym, all beneath the vaulted ceilings of Prince Roland Bonaparte’s former stables. Over in the German capital, the commodious 1,000sq m Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria Berlin (waldorfastoriaberlin.com), which opened alongside the hotel itself this January, offers eight treatment rooms, a bevy of secluded, chandelier-lit niches, a rooftop terrace and a comprehensive treatment programme.
