About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa offers a traditional dry sauna and a steam room as its primary wellness facilities. Spa-goers utilize these areas for heat therapy and relaxation. The venue does not provide a cold plunge pool, jacuzzi, or contrast therapy facilities. The sauna and steam room, along with the broader facility, are consistently noted for being maintained to a very clean standard.
Atmosphere
The overall atmosphere is discreet, with access via the sixth floor of a building on East 56th Street. The clientele is described as diverse, ranging from older to younger men, with some guests noting the space can feel small and the layout maze-like. The venue is focused on private encounters, lacking common spa amenities like a jacuzzi or play areas, which contributes to its specific, subdued vibe.
Pricing
The spa operates with a mandatory membership system. First-time visitors must purchase a temporary membership, often cited as $15, in addition to a room hire fee. Total costs for a visit are frequently mentioned in the range of $43 to $60. Payments are required to be made in cash. A yearly membership is available and suggested by some regular guests as being worth the investment.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Some spa-goers find them friendly, welcoming, and attentive to cleanliness. Others describe them as matter-of-fact, with specific complaints about certain servers being rude or pushy when requesting tips.
Additional Amenities
Beyond the sauna and steam room, the facility provides private rooms, a small video room, and showers. It does not feature gloryholes, a darkroom, or a communal play area.
