Le Spa Sothys Sai Gon

An oasis in the urban desert

Having lived in Hanoi for many years, I have the impression that Ho Chi Minh City is hot all year round, has large-scale development in the center of the city, has unusually tall roadside trees, and is a city where people follow traffic signals relatively well.

If you go from Hanoi in winter, the temperature difference is so big that you will lose consciousness, but once you get used to it,

it will be easy to spend.

This spa was opened in such a town by renovating a villa that had existed before.

This is the first shop in Ho Chi Minh City of Le Sothys Paris, which we have worked on two in Hanoi.

It is located in a quiet residential area in the District 3rd, but there is a high fence surrounding each site,

so you can’t see what’s going on inside.

The design of the entrance area was designed to be quiet and calm, so that you can feel peace when you look at it from the street.

It’s like an oasis that suddenly opens up in front of you while walking in the desert.

For the interior, while making the most of the detailed decorations of the Villa, Sothys’ brand image, which is modern and harmonizes with nature, is expressed through materials and colors.

The high-ceilinged entrance hall is used as a showroom, with the Spa space spread out behind it.

The lounge on the first floor has comfortable chairs and the garden outside the window has a jacuzzi and sauna.

Spend time in the sauna, soak in the bubble bath and get a massage. It’s an assembly line called rest.

Spending a leisurely time in the tranquility that makes it hard to believe you are in the center of a big city will undoubtedly activate your autonomic nerves and prepare your body and mind.
