Address: 서울 강남구 선릉로132길 13 J&C빌딩 4층

About: Spa Gogyeol is at 13 Seolleung-ro 132-gil in Cheongdam, a private treatment spa rather than a bathhouse. The description it gives of its own work is a narrow one: care worked entirely by the therapist's hands, in the Korean sugi manual-therapy tradition, read from each client's skin and muscle rather than run off a fixed course.

The business runs two branches — this one and a second in Seocho, at 42 Seocho-jungang-ro. Booking for either goes through Naver, KakaoTalk or Instagram rather than one central page. The Cheongdam address is a fourth-floor unit.
