The Tian Spa takes its name from the Chinese word for heaven, and when the elevator opens at the sixtieth floor and you're confronted with a 360-degree panorama of Beijing and surrounding mountains, you do indeed feel instantly transported to cloud nine. The decor is a mélange of minimalist creams and beiges with bamboo and calla lily accents; there's an 82-foot pool and eight treatment rooms—request number two for a bird's-eye view of Rem Koolhaas's CCTV tower from the marble sunken tub. The 60-minute signature Meridian Elements massage, using Aromatherapy Associates and June Jacobs products, begins with an exfoliating footbath before a relaxing, chakra-balancing acupressure massage, and concludes with a revitalizing herbal tea infusion of lemon, blackberry, and neroli as you snuggle in your chocolate robe.
