Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has held an official opening ceremony for its 88th hotel in the upper third of the 103-storey Guangzhou International Finance Center (IFC) in China.

The landmark 440m (1,444ft)-tall building has been designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects and was built by Yuexiu Property Group at a cost of £280m (US$441m, EUR357m).

Guests enter Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou through a 70th floor lobby, with its facilities including a number of restaurants on various floors and the 1,070sq m (11,517sq ft) Hua Spa.

The spa takes its name for the Mandarin word for flowers and features nine treatment rooms - three of which are double-size VIP suites - offering a full range of therapies and services.

Products used in the spa are provided by Biologique Rechere and Aromatherapy Associates, with signature experiences including the Flowers of the Four Seasons treatment.

The spa also has male and female areas - the latter of which houses a water-based treatment area with Vichy-style shower; a crystal steamroom; a rhassoul mud chamber and a laconium.

A herbal steam bath, Swedish and Finnish saunas and an ice fountain form part of the men's area at the Hua Spa. A fitness centre and an infinity-edge pool are also on offer.

Spa director Sophia Patel said: "Everything is centred on the physical and emotional wellbeing of our guests."
