Willow Stream Spa, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ signature spa brand, opens its third location in China at the legendary Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund, a beloved landmark whose history overshadows that of any other hotel in the Far East. Drawing from the hotel’s storied legacy as a cross section of East and West, Willow Stream Spa is the quintessence of modern Western and traditional Chinese philosophies in a setting equally lavish and luxurious.
Just as the landmark hotel served as glamorous playground, so will Willow Stream Spa be an energizing social hub for Shanghai. The 1008 square metre spa is specially designed with spaces for socializing and quiet relaxation. It features an integrated fitness centre, a yoga studio, a sky lit indoor swimming pool, a tranquil reflexology lounge, nine single suites and two couples’ suites each with its own private hydrotherapy, bathing and lounging areas.
All therapies at Willow Stream Spa are “energy inspired” featuring prestigious international spa brands like Kerstin Florian and Aromatherapy Associates. Drawing from the glorious history of Fairmont Peace Hotel and the cosmopolitan character of Shanghai -- past and present -- the treatments incorporate time-honoured spa traditions, Chinese influences, and advanced techniques and products connecting one to the soul of Shanghai and of Fairmont Peace Hotel. These include:
Mystic Peace
According to feng-shui principles, the mystic knot appearing throughout the hotel’s ceiling panels is a symbol of protection, prosperity and longevity. Discover more of the same in this treatment, featuring a luxurious 90-minute massage that traces a continuous ‘knot’ on the body, alleviating tension and loosening muscles.
Spiral Aura
The spiral, a dominant motif in the hotel’s art-deco design, features significantly in this distinctive treatment for women. A spiral massage technique focusing on common ‘holding areas’ for tension—the centre of the shoulders, the small of the back, the hips, the solar plexus, the abdomen, the palms and the soles—relieves pent-up stress and leaves you energized.
Willow Stream Elements
Discover the restorative power of nature’s elements: earth (mud wrap), air (organic aromatherapy), water (mineral bath) and fire (warm massage). This centuries-old traditional spa experience combines a medicinal Moor Mud wrap, therapeutic bath and organic massage with juniper, mandarin and fennel to stimulate and rejuvenate dry or maturing skin.
The extensive menu also offers advanced face treatments like Urban Lightening Facial, Pollution Solution and the Ultimate Caviar Facial. And men will feel right at home with a selection of treatments designed specifically for their needs – Handshake Treatment, Power Pedicure, Customized Barber Face Treatment – as well as a Bund Back Massage, Peace of Mind, and Fighting Fit.
There are currently three Willow Stream Spas in China. In addition to the Fairmont Peace Hotel, Willow Stream is in Fairmont Yangcheng Lake in Kunshan, and the Fairmont Beijing.
