Qu Shui Lan Ting
Changning, Shanghai
Shanghai's most luxurious bathhouse - a marble palace of private hot-spring rooms, spa treatments, and late-night dining.
Qu Shui Lan Ting is what a bathhouse looks like when money is no object: marble corridors, private hot-spring suites with city views, a treatment menu that runs from jade massage to gold-foil facials, and a dining room open until 4am.
It is the venue Shanghai's influencers book for birthdays, and the kind of place where the price tag is part of the point. A half-day here - soak, scrub, massage, and a proper meal - is one of the most indulgent experiences money can buy in China, and the private rooms make it perfect for couples.
Best for: Shanghai's most indulgent soak-and-spa day, private suites included.
