Spa Palace

You pay admission at the front desk, get a locker key on a wrist strap and a robe, and shower before using the pools or wet saunas. Shoes stay off throughout, phones are not allowed in the bathing areas, and the key is scanned for anything you order, with the balance settled at check-out.

The jjimjilbang rooms include an Elvan Stone Room, a Himalayan Salt Room, a Gold Room, a Loess Soil Room and an Ice Room, with relaxation and sleeping rooms nearby. Bring your own swimsuit for the pool, where robes come off and swim caps or a bun are expected for long hair. Body scrubs and massages are booked separately, ideally well in advance.
