Anam QT Spa Hanoi

Anam QT Spa opened in 1996 and describes itself as Vietnam's first international-standard spa. For many years it operated from 42 Hang Trong in Hoan Kiem; the official site now lists the Hanoi branch at 9 Xuan Dieu in Tay Ho, close to West Lake and the InterContinental Westlake, with a sister branch in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1. The brand is run by Bich Thuy Co.

The spa combines several services under one roof: hair cutting, organic colour and scalp treatments, nail care, waxing, facials and a therapy floor with dry sauna, steam and hot-and-cold Jacuzzi soaking with herbs and fresh petals. The massage menu on the official site includes a signature Anam oil massage, Swedish aroma massage, four-hand and six-hand combinations, Thai, hot stone, Himalayan salt stone, bamboo, 18-herb energy massage, Shiatsu and foot or hand reflexology.

Interiors mix traditional Eastern art with modern finishes, and treatment spaces are set up as intimate pavilions with VIP rooms for private occasions. The site advertises a daily Happy Hour promotion from 10:00 to 14:00 but publishes no standard price list. TripAdvisor lists hours of 10:00 to 19:00, although older directories show 10:00 to 22:00, so it is worth confirming before a late booking.
