For people who burn the candle at both ends, what could be
better than a spa treatment where two skilled professionals work on
your head and fee t at the same time? That's the idea behind the
Recharge treatment at the JW Marriott's brand new Quan Spa, one of
the most popular (and, at ￥730, the least expensive) of their five
featured "Escape" packages, customizable to both male and female
clients. While one masseuse kneads the tension out of your feet and
lower legs for a solid hour, another gives you a four-course
facial, finishing up with a 30 minute back and neck aroma
massage.
Each Quan Spa treatment is personalized to the customer via a
detailed questionnaire. Due to our sensitive skin, they decided on
an Ocean Facial designed to energize and replenish. Each course in
the facial features unique, marine-derived products created by
Thalgo (France), and distinctive aromas (we noted cucumber and
tangerine) which gradually tease and awaken the senses, finshing up
with a hydrating mask and protective cream—armor against the
Beijing winter.
The Quan Spa is unique to Marriott Asia. It's boutique, scaled
with nine private suites accentuated with plenty of dark wood and
soft lighting serve to recreate the most beautiful dawn you've ever
witnessed, in combinaton with distinctly Asian objets d'art,
designed to relax and visually inspire the mind. In addition, the
spacious suites feature unique four-sided drench showers.
Going in, we felt like a tube of toothpaste which had been
pressed in all the wrong places. Coming out, we felt whole again.
Ready for a new year.
