Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The soaring marble lobby, renovated in February 2004, is inspired by the mythical Shangri-La of the novel Lost Horizon. It evokes a Himalayan landscape with its huge glass walls, exotic artwork, sweeping staircase, and large, cloud-like crystal chandeliers, whose black crystals and topaz beads reflect brilliant colors. It’s a busy rendezvous for government officials, businesspeople, and conventioneers.
Amenity highlights: Major renovations in August 2004 introduced vibrant new restaurants and extensive business amenities, including high-speed Internet access (surcharge) in hotel public areas. The hotel is surrounded by a 3,000-square-meter (32,000-sq-ft) traditional Chinese garden with koi pond, pavilions, waterfalls, and 100 species of flowers and trees. Recreational facilities include a 25-meter (65-ft) indoor pool and a fitness center with sauna.
Insider tip: Purple Bamboo Park, one of the largest in Beijing, offers a refreshing break from the city, with picturesque islands, the remnants of an old temple, and three lakes connected by five bridges. It’s about 1.5 km (1 mi) from the hotel.

Eleven large private suites inside the Chi at the Shangri-La offer all guests a “spa within a spa,” each containing a changing area, bath and steam, spa shower, and a lounge for comfort and relaxation. Over 35 spa experiences are offered in the earth-toned, commodious suites.
Age-old healing techniques inspire a holistic approach to promoting heath, well-being, and relaxation. Tailored individually according to each guests “elemental sign,” a wide-ranges of treatments were created by specialists to encourage balance and harmony to mind and body.

Mountain Tsampa Rub (60 minutes)
Softer than salt, this Tibetan Tsampa barley rub is the ideal postscript for relaxing massage, absorbing the oils and leaving the skin exfoliated and fresh.
