Chuan Spa is a luxury spa perched on the top floors of Cordis, Hong Kong, located in the heart of Mong Kok. The spa specialises in treatments guided by traditional Chinese medicine's pillars of Wu Xing (The Five Elements), Yin and Yang, and Jing Luo (The Meridian System)
The treat starts before the treatment with guests able to enjoy the use of a sauna and steam room, followed by a professionally trained therapist conducting a questionnaire to determine which of five elements may be out of balance. Guests may choose from over 30 treatments or opt for a tailor-made treatment if desired. The questionnaire also helps guest to select the massage oil best suited to restore the missing element.
We picked out the “Spa and Dine” package (priced at HK$888 per person), which includes a 60-minute body massage – a choice of Chuan Harmony or Chuan Balancing treatment methods, followed by a business set lunch at Ming Court, the hotel's highly touted Michelin- starred Cantonese restaurant. The appetising lunch includes a trio of Dim Sum, Chicken Consommé, Garoupa Fillet, Cubed Abalone Fried Rice and dessert. Guests may also use the gym, fitness studio and rooftop swimming pool. For that special occasion – a social “girls gathering” perhaps, Chuan also has a four-person private room. Advance booking is required.
At Chuan Spa, you get a highly relaxing spa session plus an excellent meal at an acclaimed restaurant, all for a very reasonable price – a deal that is hard to turn down. Do give it a try, and book early.
