MANDARIN Oriental Pudong, Shanghai is offering guests a series of silk-themed treats. The hotel has partnered with premium Canadian brand MANITO Silk to provide a luxury accommodation package, wine tasting experience and spa treatment, each featuring silk as a theme. According to traditional Chinese wellness philosophy, spring is a time of reawakening, when it is important to nourish the body for the seasons ahead. Inspired by the legendary Silk Road trade route, the hotel is offering holistic silk-themed experiences that will rejuvenate the mind, body and spirits of travelers. The hotel has launched a luxury accommodation offer, “Sleep in Silk.” Guests booking the package will enjoy the comforts of a gorgeous Mandarin river-view room with views over the Huangpu River, plus a large circular bathtub and walk-in rainforest shower in their en-suite bathroom. Awaiting each “Sleep in Silk” guest in their room will be a set of MANITO Classic pajamas made from 100 percent mulberry silk, which is soft and smooth to the touch and allows skin to breathe and regenerate overnight. Also included in the offer is a Spa credit of 200 yuan (US$32), a bespoke good night drink at Qi Bar, and a lavish breakfast at Zest the following morning. The package is available until June 30. In an entertaining twist on the traditional method of blind wine tasting, where bottles are covered, Fifty 8° Grill will instead invite participants to wear luxurious MANITO silk eye masks. Each wine has been specially selected to complement new spring menus created by two-Michelin-star chef consultant Richard Ekkebus. Blind tasting winners will enjoy a complimentary glass of wine and receive a MANITO silk eye mask as a special gift. Guests can unwind with a signature Silk Road treatment at the Forbes five star-rated spa at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai. The three-hour detoxifying and rejuvenating spa session begins with a welcoming foot ritual and exfoliating body mask of ground lotus seeds, pepper and Chinese dates – all precious ingredients once traded along the Silk Road. Guests will then enjoy a massage personalized according to their preferences. To make the Silk Road experience extra special, guests will enjoy a thermal suite experience and receive a MANITO Light Travel Set containing a pair of shoes, eye mask and lingerie bag to take home.(Tang Li) |
