Bodi Boutique Business Hotel: Mega Wet Land Sauna and Nuru Nuru Inside
I've held off writing about this place because of all the fanfare associated with the Expo in Shanghai.
Sauna places in Shanghai that might have been considered to have too high a profile (Merrylin, across from the Intercontinental Pudong; Golden 18; Shanghai Hotel; or 999 just to name a few) started having potty opening patterns or were closed pending further notice.
May other locations have remained open and have either limited their service offerings to Asians, or in the case of say, Sacrosa / Heting (same owner) have continued to operate.
It seems reasonable to think that if a sauna is "asked" to close, then the message will get delivered and they will comply.
Accordingly, I've stopped trying to figure out why a place is open or closed. It either is, or it isn't.

Recently there's been a lot of talk about the decline in service at Sacrosa. I agree. It's just not what it used to be. With somewhere around 20 rooms and limited waiting areas, it's annoying to be told that the wait is 15 minutes and be sitting there an hour later -- especially in a smoke-filled room.
With 999 being temporarily out of play, and the Shanghai Hotel downstairs (wet-lands) uncertain, many fans and first-timers to the world of Nuru Nuru Wet Land Slip-and-Slide have had limited choices.
Until now.
It's seems like it's time to talk about a place that's been around a while, but not discussed on these boards. Or, if it has been, I missed it during a forum search.

Just to Clarify: I get no perks or benefits from Bodi Boutique Hotel or the Sauna for writing this report. I'm not a shill for this place. Nor am I some kind of promoter. To be sure, I believe I wrote the first report on Heting shortly after it opened. (I found out about Heting from a random visit to Sacrosa and was a given a discount coupon back then.) When I wrote that report, I was new to the forum and used a level of detail that could have been construed as promotion. It was not intended that way. Accordingly, the commentary that follows is intended to be descriptive, and nothing more.

This place is better described as a massive sauna complex wrapped in a boutique business hotel. To the average onlooker โ or guest โ you see nothing more that a trendy boutique hotel with relatively high room prices. Ground floor has a very cool little bar that not normally crowded, somewhat quiet, and not normally filled with smoke. The reception desk is just that: a desk over to the right side of the lobby.
The somewhat-trained monger-eye would notice something a little bit interesting: The hotel lobby sign that calls out locations of the hotel's rooms, gym, and other facilities does not have any thing listed on the 2nd floor. A quick trip up the staircase to the right and one finds nothing more that a stair well that continues upward and a pair of locked unmarked doors on what should be the second floor. Walking back down to the lobby โ and looking upward- there is in fact a high ceiling that could easily extend to second-floor height. It's entirely possible that floor two is office space for administrative staff and cleaning crews.
But, the monger's mental radar continues flashing. At which point a quick question is in order for the door guy.
Yep. Monger Radar correct: There is a sauna, and the entrance is outside the building on the front left (off to the side from the main entrance). There are no signs or other markings. Note: You cannot access the sauna from inside the hotel lobby or its elevators.
Inside you'll find a reception desk where they'll ask if you want massage. If yes, price is 780 RMB for 90 minutes.
Changing area is very nice and quite clean. Shower area is large, with individual semi-circular shower stalls that are hand tiled. Locker attendants are helpful but not overbearing. All the products they have on had are fleshly stocked and clean. (Not rather lame in places like 968 Sauna on Pudong Avenue across from The Office bar.) They have very large dry sauna that is, well, one of largest I've seen. Most places have smaller dry saunas, but not this place. In fact, the entire shower / dry sauna area layout is expansive. You don't feel cramped, rushed, or prodded and pushed around like a cattle drive, as sometimes happens at Sacrosa.
Following the shower they have a platform (built up wooden floor) dry off area which works quite well. Pajamas are issued and away you goโฆdown the stairs.
After descending the stairs you quickly realize that you're in a massive below-ground rest area. Huge is an understatement. Probably 20-25 resting rooms. Each with no more than three lounge chairs. Big TV on the wall. The hallway must be 50 meters long. There are two, perhaps thee service counters along the length of the hallway. It is not crowded, as they can spread the guests along the length of the hallway.
After ordering a tea, I chatted with the Hammer Commander who is from Dongbei. He's friendly guy who has been in Shanghai for six years and had a lot of interesting insight on all things local. (Note: Unlike Bob at Heting, he speaks no English.)
After our chat we proceeded down the hall to far end where he paused and took out a secure key card and slid it through the lock activator. Green lightโฆgo! Door swings open andโฆ.BIG LINE UP of girls. Probably 35-40. Big fucking room that's bright and well lit. It's packed with girls along the back wall. Though I can't prove it, I be willing to wager that some of these girls are form 999, though it's only a (slightly educated) guess.
Many different outfits on the girls. There was no standard uniform. . I picked a girl who looked like a slutty librarian dressed in a kind of leopard spot outfit. Had the glasses to match the look and all. (She was 581 and turned out to provide average service as she was rather process driven. Next time, I'll try someone new, as there are many to chose from.)
Following the selection phase, we took a few steps to a nearby elevator. Rather small, but well decorated for such a private looking elevator. She hits the button andโฆwhat do you knowโฆ2nd floor! You guessed itโฆthe entire second floor of the Boutique Hotel is a massive Nuru Nuru Wet Lands. Couldn't even see to the end of the hallway (maybe I needed glasses.) There must be 40 or more wet rooms. It's the biggest Wet Lands that I've seen. Bar none. The rooms are big compared to 999, and seem to be equal to or slightly larger than the rooms at Golden 18. Slippy-slide table, shower, split bottom chair, in-room water container, big bed in the dry area with mirrored ceiling, and all the rest. (Didn't see Red Rope bars for all you inverted-helicopter aficionados, but...maybe in another room.) Andโฆit was clean. Did not look worn or dirty at all, at least not the room I had.
No need for a fully detailed blow-by-blow of the Wet Area Service ...but...then again... The service followed a standard Wet Lands Format, e.g., shower, sit on the Cracked-Ass Stool, Space Probe of your Leather Cheerio (bung hole wash with her index finder), lay plastic on table using eforum.xxx-team approach to save time and speed things along, break out the Nuru Nuru Happy Liquid and play "Slide for Life" with enough gel for a Sumo Wrestler, Hard-Grind Pussy Scrub, repeat Hard-Grind Pussy Scrub (need to feel the tingling), Pussy Straddle Scrub on each leg, a.k.a, ride the Stick Pony, Ride Up and Down Ass Mountain several times, Ass Squiggle on Back, grip-and-flip over, more "Slide for Life", Face-to-Face action with simulated Canyon Glide, nipple lick'n, dick sucking, a round of "69 and try to grab that ass", followed by wash off and shift to dry area.
Standard stuff in the dry zone from head-to-toe, hard-dick blow, put a sock on the pickle, and mount & go. Pop til you drop...or until time is up.
After session ended, back to the inโroom (wet land) shower, towel off, and head down the very long hallway. Back down to the locker room / shower area where you can shower again if you like, use the sauna area, or if time permits, head back down the stairs to the massive rest area.
Again, total damage was 780 RMB for a trip to the Wet Lands that was un-crowded and comfortable because you could navigate the process at your own pace.
In summary, this is a well-conceived place. It still reminds me of a massive sauna wrapped in a Boutique Hotel, but then again, they do have very trendy (and high priced) rooms if you like that kind of place for your stay in Shanghai (as opposed to the big traditional 5 star hotels)
