The Mandarin Spa
A spa with 1930s Shanghai-era style
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Soon To Be Rated
As our highly trained, incognito inspectors work to assess properties, our editors check them out ahead of time and provide a sneak preview of what to expect.
Some prefer their spa retreats to have a setting that’s achingly modern, others prefer them attractively retro. The Mandarin Spa, at
Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, delivers a bit of both. It whispers 1930s Shanghai-era style, with its dark wood antiques and lacquer accents, but its 10 treatment rooms are more contemporary.The two suites charm with just a hint of chinoiserie.
Traditional Chinese therapy features strongly in the spa’s philosophy, with trained practitioners on hand to prescribe treatments to suit your needs, such as acupuncture and hot cupping. Like all Mandarin Oriental spas, visitors book a block of time rather than a service, which allows you to chose your treatment on a whim when you arrive. Packages can last a day, and pre- or post-treatment, the wet area is a relaxing place to test out the rain showers, fragrant steam room and the heated tepidariums.
