스파렉스 (굿모닝시티/동묘점)

Sauna & jjimjilbang

The Sparex chain's Good Morning City branch — three levels under the mall, a minute from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station.

Neighborhood: Dongdaemun
Best for: an everyday Korean jjimjilbang experience
Address: 서울 동대문

About: SPAREX's Good Morning City branch is on the third basement level of the Good Morning City mall, at 247 Jangchungdan-ro in Jung-gu, about a minute from Exit 14 of Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on Line 4.

It is a jjimjilbang rather than a private spa — the communal bathhouse format, with wet and dry saunas, a restaurant, sleeping areas and luggage storage, and jjimjil clothes and a towel included with entry. The rest areas are done in a hanok concept, including small pavilion-style spaces off the common floor. It runs 24 hours a day, year round, though the body-scrub service pauses between 01:00 and 03:00 for cleaning.

Sparex runs a second Seoul branch nearby, at Dongmyoap Station in Jongno-gu; it is listed here separately as SPAREX Sauna (Dongmyo).
