Wellness retreat launches at Shangri-La, Paris
BY Aoife Dowling
A new urban spa has opened at The Shangri-La, Paris hotel in France.
Located in what were originally the stables of Prince Roland Bonaparte's hôtel particulier, the retreat houses treatment rooms, fitness facilities, a swimming pool and a beauty treatment centre.
French-based Pierre-Yves Rochon who was responsible for the interior design, created the 5,381sq ft (500sq m) spa to reflect the building's classical French architecture with high, vaulted ceilings.

A beauty treatment menu offers a range of facial and body treatments by Carita.
The treatment menu features two of Carita's best-known products - the ultra-nourishing dry oil Beauty Fluid 14 and the regenerating Renovateur.
One of the signature Carita treatments offered at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris, is the CineticTM Lift Expert. It aims to optimise the beauty benefits of micro-currents, light therapy and ultrasound to ensure absorption of products, while also firming and sculpting the skin.
Services such as manicures, pedicure, waxing and make-up artistry complete the treatment menu.
The fitness room, which overlooks the swimming pool terrace, includes a range of cardio training equipment and an area for weight lifting, free weights and kinesis strength training.
