I discovered Spa J'Adore via a Yelp deal in early 2015: I requested for a female masseuse and was assigned Sammy. Given my extensive massage experiences in Asia, I am fairly picky: I like a good amount of pressure and longer strokes (e.g., Swedish, Balinese) but not acupressure (Chinese style) or Thai massage (which I jokingly call "forced yoga"). Sammy was AMAZING: She did a combination of deep tissue (for areas that needed them most such as shoulder and upper back) and Swedish. She skillfully worked on the knots and got rid of many of them within 60 minutes. After that first session, I knew I've found my masseuse in SF and immediately purchased a package from Spa J'Adore. I've been a regular here for 8 years. Unfortunately business seems to have been slow since Covid, so I thought I'd try to boost them with a review. A few other reviews may have mentioned that the spa itself is on the 17th floor (penthouse) of a gorgeous historical building with a balcony that has a splendid view of the city. Parakeets sometimes come hang out there (cute!). The elevators only go up to 16th floors though and guests have to take the stairs up to the penthouse (therefore I don't think it's wheelchair accessible). The reception area is decorated seasonally, e.g. for Halloween and the Holidays. Spa J'Adore has an online booking system which is fairly convenient. Even though they've raised their prices in the last few years due to inflation, they are still very reasonably priced for a great spa just off Union Square. Highly recommend this place and I'll continue to come back as long as Sammy is here!

I was visiting from Chicago and after much review, I found this place to be affordable (they had a Black Friday deal) and it had great reviews. It was a little odd going in because it didn't look like a typical spa and appears to be an office for several services (aromatherapists and other doctors). The lobby is really cool the way it's decorated. The room my massage was in was great, clean, comfortable and professional. The massage from Dario was fantastic! My boyfriend had another lady and he liked his, but didn't rave about it as much as I did about Dario. Next time I'm in San Francisco, I will be returning! They still have some great deals for 60 minute massages. We got a 60 minute Swedish massage. I would recommend this place to anyone!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! This place is WONDERFUL and PEACEFUL, I LOVED EVERY minute of it. I did the 60 minute deep message session, super relaxing and customer service was spot on. She asked what level of pressure for my comfort and oh boy the knots in my shoulders and back was released. She made sure I was comfortable and satisfied. I will most definitely be returning and I live two hours away. Oh and ended it with a nice cup of hot green tea. Everyone is different with massages but for a person who has high level stress and built up pressure this was needed and appreciated. I could go on and on, MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND, its on the 17th floor. Self-care and wellness is priority , toodles!!

I had about 5 massages from the lovely staff at Spa J'Adore. I always come with my girlfriend and we continue to come back because the massages are always good and they always have specials so their prices are always very competitive. We dont bother taking a risk of getting a crappy massage at other spas. The building is well decorated and relaxing. The beds are very clean and does not smell. I only wish they had more availability because you'll need to book in advance.

I came here for the first time a couple weeks ago, seeking a relaxing massage during a stressful time in my life. The masseur was incredibly friendly, but almost too much so, as he continued talking to me throughout the first half of the massage. I finally said something and was then able to enjoy the massage in peace, but could not fully relax. The actual massage I received was incredible and definitely one of the best I've had.

The Spa can be a bit hard to locate as it's inside the building of a medical centre. Once in the spa has a lovely view. Do ensure that you check out the terrace view. The massage was very relaxing. The therapist took time to understand my pain points and focus on them. Overall after a long day of walking I walked out feeling much better :) Note - you need to book your appointments via their website beforehand.

I’ve been here twice to see Ilya and had the best massages I’ve ever had! After my first 90 min massage, I booked another one for three hours! He has a huge kit of essential oils and will customize the aroma based on your needs. He also has a really firm hand and gives such an excellent deep tissue that leaves me feeling like absolute butter. I love this place and will be back any time I’m in SF!

Me and my friend were super excited about getting massage. Unfortunately, for both of us it was the worst massage ever. Both of us couldn’t wait to get out. Based on other good reviews maybe we just didn’t get lucky. We enjoyed lookin at the parrots on the balcony though.

Loved my deep tissue massage with Sammy. I booked via ClassPass and check-in was super smooth. Loved the ambiance, the music and friendliness of the staff. Will definitely book again. ☺️ …

Easy place to get a massage in Union Square Area. A little bit noisy because of traffic outside, but a great experience! Use a Groupon!!
