Babylon Spa

Not really a review.

Many years ago (a decade ago), there was a time where this establishment was in its prime.
There were a selection of Chinese, Koreans and Japanese on offer, most in their late 20s.
Things have declined since then.

Now its mostly older MILFs and GILFs. Last week - after a night out, I tried this establishment again, for old times sake.
Its $220 something plus $100 extra for the girl.
The girl was mid 30s, and that's the youngest you'll get there.

WIR: probably never again. at this price point and at this quality, there's just so much better options. Go to Ginza and take a hot shower.

The place is filthy these days, covered in mold and full of lebs

a sad outcome. I would pay a premium if it was more like CBD Style 360 + Spa and Sauna.
we don;t have this in sydney.

I agree. It used to be great. I spent many happy hours there and met some lovely ladies. It’s would be good if someone with a bit of flair took it over and reinvented it.

Chequers (Goulburn St.), Zanadu (Pitt St.) and another place near World Square had similar business models. I think most have shut or changed since then

I recall Chequers behibd shark hotel back in the days, that was a least better then babylon spa and had some young girls.
Doesn't seem to be much of these types of shops around, better off going overseas for that kind of stuff

The place near World Square was called Chicago, a Korean bath house.

I think what was the downfall of these places was their "bath house" model. For the price of a punt, you get to hang out in there for as long as you like. You can soak in the bath for an hour, go to the sauna for another hour, maybe another hour chilling out in the general area getting a foot massage, then you go for your 1 hr massage with the girl. Heck, even after you're done with your sesh you can hang out in there if you want with no extra charge.

All that for just the price of a sesh.

I often wondered how do these guys make enough dough to be a viable business when the turnover rate there was so slow. I guess now we know!

You blokes are reading too much into corporate business models.
The amount of shell companies and front companies operating in Australia is insane.
Governments can be considered shell or front companies of sorts.....just saying.

I think their decline coincided with changes in Hong Kong
