W Seoul-Walkerhill, a luxurious hotel brand of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, is gearing up to live up to its reputation with a superb spa.
The first of its kind in the nation, the AWAY Spa offers 5,000 square meters of pure luxury.
Contemporary and stylish design provides both traditional Asian and cutting edge therapies, which go beyond mere function.
Covering two levels and featuring 21 treatment rooms with VIP suites, the spa has separate male/female areas with seven water experience pools, the WET (indoor swimming pool) with beach and unisex area and outdoor treatment areas overlooking the Han River. It also offers a comprehensive range of over 50 body, facial and wrap treatments.
Unique to the AWAY Spa is the first ever Turkish ``hammam'' to be introduced in Korea, an ancient Turkish bath concept that incorporates scrubs, oils, natural soaps and steamed herbs administered by therapists.
The Turkish bath is designed with a traditional dome shape and touches of modern elements. In keeping with tradition; men's and women's baths are separate.
