Open Today: The Chuan Spa at The Langham, London

We're happy to report that there's a dazzling new spa in London town. Just opened today, the Chuan Spa at The Langham, London is a sight for sore eyes. Trust us-- we went to gape at it over the weekend before the official unveiling today. One look at the mosaic-lined swimming pool, located in the former bank vault, will make you want to strip down. Soaring black slate walls rise above the turquoise water, and a large painting sparkles at one end. Even non-swimmers (or those who are well aware that a few months remain before non-toned bodies need to be bikini ready) will be jonesin' for a swim.

The first location for the brand in Europe, the Langham's new spa incorporates the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine into its treatments. This is a unique concept in London. There's even a fully-licensed Chinese Medicine doctor on site for private consultations and specialist TCM therapies, like acupuncture, Ho Guan (cupping), and moxibustion. Treatment rooms are appropriately zen-like; the Chuan Tri-bathing Ritual which starts off each treatment showcases the gorgeous wet facilities. There's also a glowing salt sauna and well-equipped fitness room.
