Body & Soul Spa in Hanoi, Vietnam

Body & Soul Spa is an active Tây Hồ wellness and beauty business at 53 Tô Ngọc Vân, near West Lake in Hanoi. The current official website still identifies this address as its main spa and also lists a second address at 1/431A Âu Cơ. The legacy Travel S Helper record therefore remains valid for the Tô Ngọc Vân branch. Body & Soul is broader than a massage-only venue: its current site combines body massage, facials, foot treatments, waxing, manicure and pedicure, hair therapy, retail products and longer spa rituals. It is a strong fit for visitors who want several beauty and wellness services in one appointment.

Massage choices are unusually varied. The current menu includes traditional Vietnamese massage, Swedish-style massage, Thai and herbal-compress work, deep-tissue options, warm-stone treatments, Shiatsu, back-focused sessions and the spa’s own signature combinations. This variety is useful, but it also makes clear communication essential. A traditional Vietnamese or deep-tissue session may feel very different from a medium-pressure Swedish treatment. Tell the therapist about pressure preference, injuries and areas to avoid before the massage begins rather than assuming the service name alone describes exactly what you want.

Foot care is another substantial part of the menu. The spa currently lists aromatherapy foot massage, foot reflexology and a longer detoxifying-style foot treatment using herbal oils and mixed techniques. These are wellness services and should not be read as medical treatment of internal organs or disease, regardless of traditional terminology used in the descriptions. For travelers, the practical benefit is simpler: a focused foot session can be a shorter alternative to full-body massage after days of walking around Hanoi.

Body & Soul also has a large facial and grooming programme. Current official pages list express facials, hydrating and anti-aging treatments, acne-focused care, oxygen and LED-based facials, waxing, manicure and pedicure, and traditional Vietnamese hair-wash therapy. The hair menu also includes an Ayurvedic-style Shirodhara oil treatment. Because some services use active skincare, light devices, waxing or heat, guests should disclose sensitive skin, recent peels, retinoid use, pregnancy or other relevant conditions. A spa facial can support cosmetic care but should not be used to diagnose persistent dermatological problems.

The operator’s site gives enough detail to show that longer packages can become half-day experiences. Current gift-voucher menus combine foot polish, massage, body scrub, facial, bath, nail care, steam or hair treatments in various sequences. Prices are visible online, but this article does not treat them as permanent because they can change. The more useful planning fact is duration: individual services range from short 20- or 30-minute treatments to 90-minute massages, while combined rituals can run well beyond two hours. Ask for the total appointment length before committing to a package.

Current Tripadvisor information lists the Tô Ngọc Vân branch as open 09:00–20:00 Monday through Thursday and 09:00–21:00 Friday through Sunday. That is more specific than the old uniform timetable attached to the legacy page, so the newer 2026 schedule is used here. The official online booking interface also shows appointment slots through the evening, supporting an active operation. If you want the final slot of the day, confirm it directly, especially for long services that cannot start shortly before closing.

The West Lake location is convenient for visitors staying in Tây Hồ and for anyone building a relaxed day around Tô Ngọc Vân’s restaurants, cafés and residential streets. From the Old Quarter or French Quarter, ride-hailing is usually the easiest choice. Use the 53 Tô Ngọc Vân address when you want the main branch, because the official site also lists the Âu Cơ location. Mixing the two addresses could lead to missed appointments, particularly when drivers search by brand rather than street.

Accessibility is not described comprehensively enough on the operator site to make a universal claim. Guests who need step-free entry, accessible toilets or assistance transferring should ask the specific branch before traveling. The same applies to sauna-like or heat-based elements in long rituals if those are part of the chosen package. For most visitors, one to two hours is appropriate for a standard massage or facial; allow two to four hours for a complex spa journey.

Body & Soul’s main advantage is depth of choice. A visitor can book a simple massage, combine foot and facial care, add nails or hair therapy, or spend much longer on a bundled ritual. The tradeoff is that such a broad menu rewards advance planning. Decide whether relaxation, muscle work, skincare or grooming is the priority, use the correct Tô Ngọc Vân branch address, and verify the final treatment duration and price. For travelers based around West Lake, the current 2026 evidence supports Body & Soul as a well-established, full-service spa rather than a legacy listing surviving only online.

For practical planning, confirm the appointment directly on the day of your visit if your schedule is tight. Hanoi service businesses can adjust staffing, promotion periods and last-treatment times without changing the headline opening hours. Save the full street address, allow traffic time, and ask how long the entire service takes from check-in to finish. This is especially important for multi-stage spa packages, where consultation, changing, steam, soaking or post-treatment rest can add meaningful time beyond the advertised massage or facial duration.
