Our Inspector's Highlights

  • The opulent indoor pool is flooded with natural light, a rarity in Paris. At 15 by 6 meters (50 by 20 feet), it’s also large enough for laps.
  • The plant-trimmed, tranquil rear terrace provides an inviting spot for a glass of fresh juice after your treatment.
  • The décor of the gym eschews the sterility of your average workout space — the weights room at the Paris spa is wallpapered with flowers and vintage Asian-inspired scenes.
  • The spa’s color palette of dreamy blues and celadon green mixes Asian touches with a sense of ethereality.
  • There’s a focus at CHI on bespoke service. Whether you want a personal trainer or a swimming lesson, tell the staff members and they will make it happen.

Things to Know

  • With only three treatment rooms, the luxury spa’s focus is on quality not quantity — be sure to book in advance for any and all services.
  • As a guest of the Shangri-La, you can enjoy a treatment in the comfort of your room or even before the spa opens simply by making an appointment.
  • Non-hotel guests can enjoy access to the pool, terrace and steam rooms by purchasing a day pass or a 30-minute private steam-room session.

The Treatments
  • CHI only uses products from The Organic Pharmacy, a British brand lauded for creating small-batch beauty creams and oils with 100 percent organic extracts, which are said to ensure higher concentrations of vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients.
  • The signature treatment is the CHI Yu massage, designed to stimulate blood flow while relaxing the mind. This customizable offering allows you to select your preferred combination of essential oils.
  • Facials are another specialty, with options including a vitamin C and Papaya Enzyme Peel Brightening treatment, a Purifying Urban Facial and a soothing service created just for mothers-to-be.
  • For maximum pampering, opt for the rejuvenating Crystal Ritual. You will undergo a full-body exfoliation, wrap and massage. It's topped off with a lymphatic facial.
The Facilities

  • In addition to personal training sessions, CHI offers a range of unique coaching options at its stunning pool, such as aqua palming (a type of water aerobics) and even aqua phobia classes for those with a fear of water.
  • The chic fitness room is open 24 hours, which is helpful if you’re fighting jet lag.
  • Waxing, nail services and makeup application are available. For hair treatments, cuts and styling, call ahead and the 16th Arrondissement spa will bring in a stylist.
