Hot List 2009

Chi, the Spa at Shangri-La, Vancouver

Tel: 604-695-2447

With ornate wooden doors, a well, flickering votives, rich paneling, and stone walls, the decor of this Chi spa, the first in the Americas, incorporates all five elements of Chinese philosophy, while treatments focus on your predominant one. The two-hour Element Vitality treatment incorporates sonic therapy, masterful Swedish massage, and acupressure—it's so enervating you feel as if you might levitate afterward. If time permits, take advantage of the salon's extended "Chi Journeys" (mixing various treatments) or linger in the locker rooms' saunas, then grab a fresh smoothie from the Ginger Bar, adjoining the Shangri-La's outdoor pool.
