Elysium
Beijing is a city where millennia of history collide with futuristic ambition. To truly experience its soul, you need more than just a place to stay; you need a sanctuary that embodies its spirit. Enter the Rosewood Beijing, a hotel that isn’t just a destination but a journey into the heart of Chinese elegance and contemporary sophistication.
As the first China property for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts®, this establishment sets a breathtaking standard. It weaves the capital’s compelling culture and history into every detail, creating a “sense of place” that feels less like a hotel and more like a private, lavish manor. From the moment you step away from the bustling streets of the Chaoyang District, you are transported into a world of quiet artistry and impeccable service.
The Crown Jewel: Unlock Forbidden City Beauty Secrets at Sense, A Rosewood Spa
While the entire hotel is magnificent, its soul resides in the Sense, A Rosewood Spa. This is not your typical wellness center. It is a modern temple dedicated to the lost beauty remedies of the Forbidden City’s imperial court.
Imagine stepping into a serene retreat where the wellness secrets of empresses and concubines are revived. These were women acclaimed for their beauty, who used coveted remedies to maintain their status. Sense Spa has recreated these centuries-old treatments, offering you a chance to experience royal rituals.
Highlights of the Imperial Spa Journey:
- Empress Dowager Cixi Facial: Inspired by arguably China’s most powerful woman, this 90-minute treatment uses techniques like the jade roller to brighten and smooth the skin, emulating the very rituals that kept an empress radiant.
- Sand and Wood: This revitalizing 90-minute therapy recreates a sacred treatment once reserved for high-ranking concubines. It uses velvet satchels of sand and artisan-carved wooden tools to stimulate acupressure points, detoxify the body, and relieve fatigue.
- Hair Fare Maiden: Discover the secret to the concubines’ strong, shining hair, which they maintained well into their 70s. This 90-minute upper body experience includes a scalp, neck, and shoulder massage with an intense hair treatment using traditional Chinese herbs.
