The spa is easy to find and has a lot of available parking, as well as a parking lot security attendant. You enter the building into the check-in area.

The Tea Room is an additional charge of $9 and in it you can try an array of different teas! The restaurant is open until 7:30pm and takes their last order at 7pm, so get in there early. My personal favorite things to order are the steamed dumplings and the hot stone pot bibimbap. Before coming here, I didn’t realize how enjoyable it was to eat korean food while wearing a bathroom and hair cap.
Olympus Spa is a place that you could spend an entire day at.
My perfect day at the spa would be the following: Come in the morning. Spend time hopping between the hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna. Eat lunch at the restaurant. Back into the hot tubs. Get a massage, then read a book in one of the heated rooms. Back to the sauna and cold plunge to finish out my day, for as long as desired. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is definitely one of Tacomas hidden gems.
