How a visit goes
85°C
- 01
Sauna
15 minutes
Cedar, lit from below. Sit high if you want it hotter. Leave when you’re glowing, not when you’re done.
- 02
Plunge
Two minutes, if you can
Chest-deep, hands in. Breathe out longer than you breathe in. The first thirty seconds are the whole thing.
- 03
Rest
Ten minutes, or more
Warm stones under your back, a tea you didn’t have to make, and nothing at all to do. Then again.
- Then again. Three rounds, or as many as you like. Book the circuit →
The space
Three rooms. One temperature at a time.
A 1920s bank building on Richmond Row, stripped to brick and cedar. The vault is the plunge.
Plunge
Chilled, filtered, 1.2 metres deep, under a vaulted ceiling. There is a rail. Everybody uses it.
Rest Room
Heated stone loungers, a tea counter, blankets, and a strict no-phones rule we will remind you of exactly once.
Rituals
Give it the afternoon.
Three set combinations, priced a little under the sum of their parts. Lunch is included in all of them.

“Hot stone in February is the single best thing in this city.”
“Quiet. Actually quiet. Nobody on their phone in the rest room.”
