Asia's chicest spa reception boasts an elongated cushy couch plus two sexy leather loungers, angled to maximize views of Bangkok's bustle. Groovy tunes, pale stone walls, and a relaxing flora aroma enhance this stylish, distinctly urban arena. Seven round rooms, two of which are doubles, feature a padded massage table on an elevated circular platform as well as a yellow woven basketry ceiling. The signature Illy Touch ($137) kicks off with a deep scrub of ground coffee that smells sensational. Next, the therapist covers the body in a thin coat of menthol-infused mud with painterly strokes. A 45-minute wrap doubles as a nap, which ends with a gentle head massage. After a shower, you'll receive another massage, this one combining Swedish and sports techniques according to your preference and ending with a serious knead along the shoulders to eliminate the aches of long flights and heavy luggage.
