To kick off your bathhouse experience, take a hot shower to remove any lotions, oils, fragrances, or other residues. This helps protect the sauna's wood and keeps the environment clean for everyone.
We call our bathing routine the Hot Cold Relax circuit. It begins with up to 15 minutes in the sauna, followed by a refreshing cold shower to rinse off any sweat before entering the cold plunge, where you can stay for up to 3 minutes. Afterward, unwind and rehydrate in our lounge for 10-15 minutes before starting the cycle again. These steps are simply recommendations; we encourage guests to follow their own pace and do what feels most comfortable.
You’ll have access to our showers and locker room, cold shower, cold plunge, traditional cedar sauna, aspen wood wet sauna, and lounge areas with Galanter & Jones heated benches.
You will need a non-sheer bathing suit that provides reasonable coverage.
We provide towels, private changing rooms, and showers with our in-house line of bathing products. Samples of our body oils are available at checkout.
We recommend that bathers bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. No glass in the bathhouse please.
We have flip flops available to borrow, but if you prefer, please bring your own, clean bathhouse footwear.
