Temple Leaf Spa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Temple Leaf Spa is the established Hai Ba Trung branch at 74/1 Hai Ba Trung in central Ho Chi Minh City. Unlike the similarly named Temple Leaf Spa Land Massage on Nguyen Sieu, this venue has a current first-party website that confirms the address, phone number and active operation. The spa describes itself as a multinationally managed massage and wellness business blending Vietnamese and Thai-style traditions. It is best suited to travelers who want a central massage, facial or longer spa package within walking distance of the Opera House area. The main practical issue is an hours conflict: the current operator page does not prominently show one weekly timetable, while current third-party sources range from 09:00–22:00 to 10:00–23:30.

The official Temple Leaf website currently identifies 74/1 Hai Ba Trung, Saigon Ward, as the active address. Tripadvisor’s current 2026 listing shows 10:00 to 23:30 daily, and Foody also lists 10:00–23:30. A current Ho Chi Minh City Japanese-language guide lists 09:00 to 22:00. Because two current independent sources agree on the later schedule, the sidebar uses 10:00–23:30 while explicitly preserving the conflict. Visitors booking late at night should call 028 6291 3656 first.

Temple Leaf’s service range covers more than one massage style. Current travel information lists foot massage, body massage, facial care and long packages. A current city guide gives examples of 60-minute foot and body massages, a 45-minute facial and a three-hour package, although published prices should not be treated as permanent because they can change. The official site emphasizes traditional massage and aroma oils associated with Vietnam and Thailand.

The spa also presents its interior as part of the experience. The official promotional pages describe traditional doors, ceramics and historical decorative pieces, including material linked to the site’s older architectural context. These details are part of the operator’s storytelling rather than proof of museum-level provenance, but they help explain why the branch is positioned as more than a basic foot-massage storefront.

Management and therapist training are another part of the brand narrative. The current about page says Temple Leaf is managed by a team with Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and Korean backgrounds and that therapists receive structured training through the brand’s massage school. These are operator claims about its staffing model. They do not guarantee an identical session from every therapist, so pressure and technique preferences should still be discussed before treatment.

The central address is highly convenient. The Japanese-language city guide places the spa about a five-minute walk from the Opera House. Visitors staying around Dong Khoi, Le Thanh Ton or the riverfront can often walk, while taxi and ride-hailing are easy from elsewhere downtown. The 74/1 numbering indicates a smaller lane-style address, so follow the map carefully rather than expecting a large road-front property.

A normal visit can take around one to two hours for a massage or facial. A full package may occupy three hours or more. If you plan a late appointment, confirm the closing time directly because current sources differ. Even if the spa is open until 23:30, that does not mean a three-hour package can begin near closing. Reserve larger packages earlier in the day.

Recent Tripadvisor activity confirms that the branch is still receiving customers in 2026, although reviews are subjective and should not be turned into guaranteed claims about staff, value or atmosphere. The current official website is more important for identity and address, while Tripadvisor and Foody are useful for practical hours that the operator site does not clearly publish in the accessible pages.

Accessibility information is not clearly documented. The current website does not publish a detailed step-free route, lift availability or adapted-restroom information. Visitors with mobility requirements should call before arriving. The same applies to anyone who needs a private room or a therapist with a particular technique.

Temple Leaf Spa should remain separate from Temple Leaf Spa Land Massage at 5/7 Nguyen Sieu. The two current public listings have different addresses and hours, and only the Hai Ba Trung operation is clearly represented on templeleafspa.com. Keeping them separate prevents readers from arriving at the wrong location or assuming that a promotion or menu for one branch automatically applies to the other.

For most travelers, the useful planning formula is simple: use 74/1 Hai Ba Trung, expect a central traditional-massage and spa setting, allow one to two hours for a standard service, and call before a late visit because published hours conflict. The branch remains active and well documented, but precise prices and package details should be confirmed directly rather than preserved from older guide material.

The brand’s current website also contains historical and decorative stories about the premises, including antique-style doors and ceramics. These should be enjoyed as part of the spa’s presentation rather than treated as independently authenticated heritage claims. For practical planning, the far more important facts are the current Hai Ba Trung address, phone and operating presence, which are directly supported by the live operator site.
