Bulgari’s sixth hotel opens with 2,000sq m spa
POSTED 22 Jun 2018 . BY Jane Kitchen
The extensive spa features five single treatment rooms, a double treatment room, a foot massage room and a couples’ spa suite that provides exclusive access to a Roman-inspired hot tub and private sauna
The newest Bulgari Hotel has opened in Shanghai, featuring a 2,000sq m spa created with the guidance of spa and wellness consultants GOCO Hospitality.

Designed by Italian firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the sixth Bulgari hotel includes a 48-storey tower that adjoins the restored Chamber of Commerce Shanghai building, which was originally completed in 1916.

“Shanghai is one of the most vivacious cities in the world and we hope this architectural masterpiece coupled with the magnificence of the perfectly restored Chamber Of Commerce will truly put The Bulgari Hotel Shanghai on the map as one of the city’s most iconic destinations,” said Jean-Christophe Babin, Bulgari CEO. “Hotels represent for Bulgari the opportunity to share the Italian luxury experience, design and creativity around the world and as of now, we are proud to have a second new 'home' in China.”

The extensive spa features five single treatment rooms, a double treatment room, a foot massage room and a couples’ spa suite that provides exclusive access to a Roman-inspired hot tub and private sauna. The spa is equipped with 10 Gharieni MO1 wellness beds and 2 Gharieni PediSpas.

These are complemented by a 25m signature Bulgari indoor heated swimming pool and a vitality pool.

A salon; traditional Italian male barber; juice bar; mind & body studio; and Workshop Gymnasium with Technogym equipment, private training and yoga studio round off the wellness offering.

The spa’s treatment menu combines advanced beauty treatments alongside traditional local wellbeing rituals.

The Bulgari Signature Journeys have been inspired by the classic wellness traditions of the world. An ancient wellness practice from the palaces of central Java provides an exotic and stress relieving experience. Meanwhile, the Intense Protection Ritual works to protect and restore the skin from a variety of environmental pollutants. Finally, Balancing Qi applies the deep wisdom found in traditional Chinese medicine – incorporating traditional herbs, Tai Chi movements and acupressure – to relax muscles, stimulate energy flows and achieve mental and physical harmony.

“It has been a great pleasure to work so closely with the Bulgari team, especially the visionaries of Silvio Ursini and Attilio Marro, along with Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, La Mer and Amala to create Shanghai’s newest and most luxurious spa experience,” said Ingo Schweder, founder and CEO of GOCO Hospitality. “We are also excitedly working on the spas at the Bulgari Moscow and Bulgari Tokyo, which are sure to make a big impression when they debut.”
