Why Visit
This is the only true jjimjilbang in the GTA, where you can soak, sweat, nap, and snack around the clock. If you want the real Korean bathhouse experience—massages, hot/cold baths, and rice drinks included—King Spa is the move.
What Makes It Unique
Unlike typical Toronto spas, King Spa is open 24/7 every single day, and welcomes everyone, including families and insomniacs. The variety of authentic heated sauna rooms, communal sleeping area, and legit Korean cafe/snacky eats make it a full-on cultural experience rather than just a quick pamper stop.
King Spa & Sauna is the GTA's premier Korean jjimjilbang — a 24-hour bathhouse and sauna complex in Thornhill that offers a complete Korean wellness culture experience. The facility is divided into gender-separated wet areas (hot and cold pools, multiple sauna rooms) and a co-ed relaxation floor with heated floors, sleeping areas, and a full restaurant serving Korean spa cuisine.
The wet area includes a hot pool, a cold pool, a jet pool, and four sauna rooms: charcoal, clay, salt, and infrared. The dry saunas operate at temperatures ranging from 60°C to 90°C, each with different therapeutic claims. The co-ed floor is where the jjimjilbang social experience happens — families, friends, and couples lounge on heated floors, watch Korean television, nap on wooden pillows, and eat bibimbap and Korean shaved ice (patbingsu). The 24-hour operation means it serves as both a day spa and an overnight recovery destination. The entry fee is modest; massages, scrubs, and restaurant items are additional.
