1899 Jeonggwanjang Spa, Gangnam-gu

I had such a wonderful experience at 1899 Spa! I chose the 150-minute facial and full body massage, and it was absolutely worth it. The whole session was incredibly relaxing from start to finish. The facial was my favorite part my face felt so much lighter and refreshed afterwards, and my skin looked well taken care of. The massage was also amazing and helped me completely unwind. The massage therapist was very professional, gentle, and attent

10/10 experience! I was a little worried walking in to the cigarette smelling building, but the second you arrive at the spa you enter a magical calm space. From the second you enter with the delicious tea, to the end of your service, you will be fully pampered. I started with a shower with amazing ginseng products, followed by a foot soak with red ginseng. Then, I did the one hour facial with the add on of the foot massage. Every part was amazing. The therapist, Ila, stretched me, massaged me and truly made this experience amazing. I went to many treatments while in Korea, and this was the most luxurious and beautiful (and at a very fair price). I fully recommend!!

Absolutely rejuvenating experience at Spa 1978 in Seoul! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the luxurious and calming atmosphere. The 90-minute facial treatment was exceptional—my therapist, Lily,,was not only skilled with firm, effective techniques, but also communicated flawlessly in English, making the session even more comfortable. The high-quality products used felt premium on my skin. After the treatment, I felt deeply relaxed, both mentally and physically. Most importantly, my face was left glowing and radiant! A special thanks to Lily for her wonderful care. I highly recommend Spa 1978 for anyone looking for a top-tier skincare retreat in Seoul.

This is my favorite spa in Korea — I’ve visited three times, and each experience has been amazing. The place is clean, calming, and the staff is very professional. The therapists are highly skilled, have good technique with perfect pressure. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Consistently excellent service every time. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back on my next trip!

I loved my experience at Spa1899, where my wife and I had a couples massage. All the staff were highly attentive to my needs and made me comfortable. The facility is quite peaceful. I really enjoyed starting with a foot bath before proceeding to a massage. We added the mini facial care to our session and I have never felt more moisturized! There are several other bonus programmes that we did not try but may fit other tastes. The therapist Lily made me feel comfortable and was able to focus on areas of my body that needed the most care, plus she gave me feedback on what I could do to improve my posture and back pain thereafter. I am not a fluent Korean speaker but I was able to communicate my needs without any problem! We will be coming back when we're back in Seoul.

Super helpful and friendly receptionist— we were late due to heavy traffic and they were able to accommodate instantly to change from 150mins to 120mins. Very calming and soothing ambience and very comfortable massage+facial. Highly recommend!

I came back again for a 3 hour full body set and the experience continues to be amazing. Had a 15 mins session in the bath with ginseng concentrate, then a full body massage that was beyond relaxing, and full facial which really help brightened my stressed face. Follow by a head spa which was so good for my scalp and hair! Cannot recommend enough! Also could not resist and brought some of their products too!

One of the best spas I’ve been to!! The therapists were very professional and knowledgeable; the products were top-notch. They provided us with a detailed description of their products and their pain points. We were so tired after 20 hours of flight but after the massage it made us feel better. I recommend you add some additional mini programs, especially the facial program if you’re going for body body-focused massage! Don’t forget to try samples after the spa!
