1. Dragon Hill Spa & Sauna
Dragon Hill Spa & Sauna is the largest jjimjilbang in Seoul. It's not just your ordinary sauna—this six-story complex includes a jjimjilbang, spa, golf, KTV, cinema, and even a winter sonata-themed walking path. Many Korean dramas and variety shows have been filmed here, and if you're lucky, you might even spot some Korean celebrities and catch a glimpse of their charm.

2. Seoul LK Jjimjilbang
Located near Myeongdong and Dongdaemun, LK Jjimjilbang is much larger than other jjimjilbangs in the Myeongdong area. Spanning two floors, it’s clean and bright. Combining jjimjilbang, spa, and hot spring facilities, LK Jjimjilbang offers three types of jjimjilbang rooms with different therapeutic effects: millet stone, yellow earth, and fire sauna, with temperatures ranging from low to high. The hot springs come in three flavors—ginseng, jasmine, and red wine—and you can also experience traditional Asarum culture here to unwind after shopping while beautifying your skin.
