The Day Spa by Chuan at the Langham Hotel, formerly known as the Observatory Day Spa Sydney, is the spa you visit to step back in time. Housed on the very bottom floor of the timelessly grand hotel, this spa feels like it’s straight from the “girls trip” playbook.
The star feature here is the 20-metre indoor pool. And star is the operative word – the pool sits beneath a ceiling that mimics the night sky, quietly twinkling and inviting you to float into another realm. Gently heated and surrounded by a sandstone and marble lounging area this pool area is the kind of place you want to stay all day. On the far wall, there’s a beautiful mural of what looks like Bondi Beach in the 1920s.
Treatments range from express facials to full-body re-sets, with the Chuan ritual epitomising the offering: a total escape of a treatment that includes a herbal salt scrub, relaxing back, neck and shoulder massage and a detoxifying facial.
But in my opinion, the most unique and incredible offering at The Day Spa by Chuan is the IV treatment from IV Nation – Australia’s first in-hotel IV therapy experience. These intravenous treatments are designed to support hydration and wellbeing from the inside out, so the shine from your spa treatment isn’t just skin deep. My treatment included vitamins C and B12 as well as zinc, magnesium and other elements that our body needs to feel well.
Need a total body reset inside and out? This is your place – just check the timings, as the IV treatments are currently only available to book on Thursdays and Fridays.
