The Alammi Spa

Just in case if you're wondering what happened to Tanamera Wellness Spa at Sooka Sentral and Concorde Hotel Shah Alam, the spa is now known as Alammi Spa.

The good news about Alammi is that it is run by the same team of people as before, still exclusively using  Tanamera products and retaining the same range of spa treatments - traditional Malay spa within a modern setup. 

The spa had undergone extensive renovation.  The one at Sooka is currently occupying two lots on the third floor instead of just one previously.

I was in for a pleasant surprise when I went to the spa for a very brief session recently after being away for a very long time.  I find the newly-transformed Alammi spa better than ever, being much cozier and more spacious now.

Packages at discounted prices are available and recommended for anyone who intends to become regular patrons.

Peak Day, Peak Hours
As Alammi at Sooka is surrounded by various office blocks, a number of its patrons are thus comprise mostly people who work around the area.

The spa is usually fully-booked (by appointment) on Friday afternoons from between 12.30 - 2.30 pm, in view of the longer lunch break adopted by a few organisations based near KL Sentral.  So for those who would like to spend the Friday noon break for a facial, hair treatment, massage, bath, etc, it's best to call (03-27851815) or walk-in a few days earlier to secure an appointment.

Alammi Sooka opens on Saturdays too, but for shorter hours. It closes on Sundays and public holidays (while Alammi at Concorde Hotel Shah Alam opens on Sundays too, but closes on Mondays).

P/S (added on 07.09.2015) : The Alammi Spa is currently only at Concorde Shah Alam.  Its branch at Sooka Sentral had ceased operation since 30.08.2015 after MRCB, the owner of Sooka Sentral had sold the building, and the tenants of Sooka are supposed to move out by a certain date in September.
