About this Sanctuary
Chicago Bath House transports you to a cozy, European spa retreat within the bustling city. This unique venue offers an authentic Russian/European-style sauna experience that is both intimate and welcoming. Upon entry, guests are greeted by warm, rustic decor and the rich aroma of eucalyptus wafting through the air. The dry and wet saunas boast perfect heat levels, with some saunas reaching impressive temperatures like 260 degrees Fahrenheit. The steam room is a refreshing respite, while the cold plunge pool cools you down post-sauna sessions. The men’s side recently underwent renovation to include a cold plunge pool, adding an extra layer of relaxation options. In addition to these amenities, the restaurant upstairs serves delectable Eastern European cuisine and offers a full bar for those seeking a complete spa experience. The friendly staff, including Nicolas who is known for his warm demeanor, ensure visitors feel at home. However, some may find the lack of a water fountain or changing room issues.
