Owner description:
Honoring Mandarin Oriental's eastern culture, our spa is an oasis of holistic therapy for the body, mind and spirit. Our heat and water experience is like no other, offering guests a serene journey through a muscle soothing amethyst steam room to the crystal freshness of our ice fountain. It's time to leave the real world behind and enter a new dimension of relaxation, which begins with a private consultation.
