Wall Street Bath & Spa 88

About this Sanctuary

Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, Spa 88 offers an authentic Russian banya experience with a unique blend of traditional and modern amenities. The venue boasts a range of sauna options including a steam room, an eucalyptus steam room, a hotter infrared sauna (194 degrees), and a cold plunge pool, each designed to enhance your heat exposure tolerance. The steam rooms and saunas emit a distinctive wood-burning aroma that transports you to a rustic bath house atmosphere. Guests can enjoy communal spaces for lounging or watching the bustling New York street life outside. The restaurant serves up traditional Russian cuisine with options like borscht and pickled herring, adding to the cultural authenticity. However, the venue can feel somewhat dated in certain areas, with some patrons noting issues such as missing tiles and a lack of cleanliness.
