About Imperial Spa
Imperial Spa is a traditional Korean bathhouse located on a busy street with a lovely park nearby. The facility is older but very clean and well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities. Guests are expected to be fully nude upon arrival, as is customary in traditional bathhouses. Treatments include a variety of options, such as the Ocean Seaweed Scrub, which features a full-body scrub, massage, facial, and hair wash. The staff is friendly, and guests appreciate that they can always get in without planning far in advance. The spa offers a relaxed atmosphere with separate areas for men and women, including standing showers, sitting showers, a Jacuzzi, cold plunge, steam room, and sauna. Many guests enjoy the exfoliate table service and find the salt room especially restful, often falling asleep during their visit. The Himalayan salt room with infrared light is a favorite feature for relaxation. Prices are reasonable, making it a good choice for those looking to unwind and rejuvenate. The spa provides a straightforward, traditional experience without unnecessary bells and whistles, and some visitors find the environment peaceful and not overcrowded. Overall, Imperial Spa is highly recommended for a calming, traditional Korean bathhouse experience.
