Alongside busy shops and trendy restaurants on the edge of the city’s leafy green Wulin Square rises a gleaming new tower crowned by the now open Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at Hangzhou Centre. The Hotel’s 18th floor Spa and Wellness Centre fuses scientific skincare principles and wellness practices into a range of services. Its concept is results-driven, proven techniques combined with the time-honoured principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a natural, holistic approach to wellness. For example, the smoke-free moxibustion treatment updates the traditional practice of applying dried mugwort to the body by heating rather than burning the plant, resulting in improved blood flow, boosted immune system and overall relaxation. The Spa also offers several lymphatic circulation therapies using cutting edge Ballancer technology for a comfortable yet effective result. Other treatments include a range of targeted massages, facials by Kate Somerville, bath and steam experiences, healing through acoustic resonance, and pampering packages for couples.
