Izumi
When using a spa at a hotel or in town while traveling, you will often need to discuss treatment options, confirm the duration, and check the price at the reception desk.
When using a spa in English, it is important to confirm the type of treatment, the length of the session, and the cost using clear and appropriate expressions.
In this article, I explain common English expressions used at spa receptions, along with a sample conversation.

It lasts 60 minutes. Would you like to book it?
Yes, please. How much is it per person?
It’s $90 per person, including access to the sauna.
1. Requesting to Use the Spa
When you would like to use a spa, you can start by making a request using the following expression.
Example
- I’d like to use the spa today.
“I’d like to ～” is a common and polite expression used at reception desks. It sounds softer and more formal than “want to.”
Related Expressions
- I’m interested in using the spa this afternoon.
- I was wondering if I could use the spa during my hotel stay.
2. Checking Availability
Since many spas require reservations, it is important to check availability next.
Example
- Do you have any availability this afternoon?
“Availability” refers to available time slots and is commonly used for spas, hotels, and tours.
Related Expressions
- Are there any openings later today?
- Is there anything available around 3 p.m.?
3. Asking About Available Treatments
By confirming the types of treatments offered, you can choose the service that best suits your needs.
Example
- What kind of treatments do you offer?
“What kind of ～?” is a standard expression for asking about types or categories. In spa contexts, “treatment” refers to services such as massages or skincare treatments.
It is also helpful to know common treatment names in advance.
Common Spa Treatments
- facial massage
- body treatment
- aromatherapy massage
If a specific treatment interests you, you can ask for more details.
Related Expressions
- Which treatment do you recommend?
- Could you tell me more about the full-body massage?
4. Confirming the Duration
If you have plans before or after the spa, it is a good idea to confirm how long the treatment will take.
Example
- How long does the full-body massage last?
“How long does ～ last?” is used to ask about the duration of something that continues for a set period of time, such as a treatment or a tour.
Example
- It lasts 60 minutes.
The verb “last” means “to continue.” This expression focuses on the total length of time, not the start time.
5. Confirming the Price
Once you have decided on a service, you should confirm the price.
Example
- How much is it per person?
“Per person” means “for each person” and is essential when using services with multiple participants.
Example
- It’s $90 per person, including access to the sauna.
“Including ～” means “with ～ included” and is useful for clarifying what is covered in the price.
