What People Are Saying About Imperial Spa
The Editor

In Short – At this Korean-style spa and sauna, clients pay a flat admission fee for entrance into a 6,000-square-foot space divided into separate men's and women's quarters. Those-in-the-know arrive early for exfoliation, acupressure and massage to take advantage of the wet and dry saunas, cold pool, hot tub and detoxifying fomentation rooms. The overly modest should be forewarned: underwear-clad therapists perform treatments in semi-private rooms, and full nudity is the norm among the majority of the patrons

Great Find
by bonehill
You can be in your "own" zone at this spa. It is quiet and wonderfully designed to soak, meditate, relax & rejuvenate......I loved it
- Pros: Small but clean & calming

Great alternative to Kabuki
by markch
Kabuki Springs is an SF institution and is a very nice place, but it can also be too crowded sometimes. Imperial Spa in my opinion is a great alterantive. It is a Korean style spa, which means it had a hot pool with a separate cold plunge pool, a steam room with herbs, a sauna and shower areas (also has the sitting-down bathing area you find in Asian spas), and wheelchair accessible areas. The men's area is separate from the women's section. It's very quiet, nice skylight and virtually nobody else when I was there. I'll definitely go back because it's so rare to find such a clean, non-crowded area in SF these days. They also have acupuncture and massage services but I haven't tried them yet.
- Pros: No crowds, nice skylight, separate men's and women's section means it's open all the time
- Cons: Less space vs. kabuki
