A Nordic spa rooted in contrast therapy, offering traditional saunas, cold plunges, and premium massage services. Move through the Thermal Cycle of heat and cold to calm the nervous system, improve recovery, and restore balance. The perfect two-hour wellness experience in the heart of Charlotte.

It was an experience. Id never been to a bath house before, but decided to try it since my friend wanted to go. The establishment was clean, and the room temperature was nice. Plenty of private changing rooms to change in and out your swimsuit. The shower stalls were private with full doors, offered body wash, shampoo and conditioner and were clean - the floors werent slippery with soap scum. Check in and check out was simple and fast. They offer 2 private party rooms, 1 for a smaller group and one for a larger group. They had 2 heated rooms (one dark the other light), 2 cold water pools with heated benches to recover in and an Himalayan salt room. They had 2 public showers to rinse under and an water bottle filling station. Overall a positive experience.

First time visiting a sauna house. Overall it was a great experience. The lavender tea was wonderful and the staff were incredible! Everything was very clean. I only wish there were complementary robes available.

In full transparency, I spend a lot of time at all of the Sauna House locations and have watched this project grow from concept to completed bathhouse. After finishing a long contrast therapy session at the soft launch, I can confidently say that Sauna House Charlotte lives up to the high standards of the other locations while offering a distinct vibe that sets it aparta vibe shaped largely by the unique architectural (cheese wedge) features of the building. The main lounge area, surrounded by large windows, is a standout feature. These windows flood the space with natural light, creating an open and inviting chill atmosphere. This lounge is perfect for sitting and relaxing between sessions, as the thoughtful design ensures the noise level remains low. The dark sauna has two lava heaters that allow it to reach temperatures above 190 degrees. They are both traditional Finnish sauna heaters so when you pour scented water over the sauna stones, you can experience a serious level of steam and humidity that youd expect to experience in a Russian Banya. The dark sauna also has a three-level high bench, so if you really want heat you can sit up top. In the public space, Charlotte has two cold plunges set to different temperatures. They are roughly 4.3 feet deep so guests can fully submerge themselvesa key feature for achieving the best results from contrast therapy. The design allows you to stand vertically while plunging, which allows for better deep rhythmic breathing. The ability to go all the way under and dunk your head is a great feature of these plunges. I personally really like the ladder so that you can hold it if you enjoy a prolonged underwater cold plunge.

Had the BEST time at Sauna House. Was our first time and will for sure be back! Everyone was SO nice. Facility was clean and welcoming.

This location is in a great spot, perfect for a treat yourself day. Upon entering, the staff was extremely welcoming and provided a nice tour to help me understand what to expect while at the facility. Everything was well-maintained, and the showers had a great, refreshing scent. My only feedback would be that it would be nicer if there were fewer people per allocated time block, as the space for amenities like the cold plunge, sauna, and seating is somewhat limited. Otherwise, it was a fantastic experience, and Id definitely return!

I first heard about Sauna House during their pre-opening membership outreach, but at the time, I knew the distance from my home wouldnt allow me to use it consistently. Fast forward to 2026, and one of my daughters friends invited me to join her; I showed up without any particular intention, and over the last few days, the post-Sauna House experience has been truly transformative. I realized that it was an experience of the combination of hot and cold therapy because it brought up a lot of emotion and helped me release stories and grief I didnt even realize I was holding. Its a profound reminder of how powerful the body is in processing and healing. The salt room was incredibly relaxing; I had it all to myself. As a mom of two teens and a toddler, I really needed that space to rest, and I ended up taking a 15-minute nap. When I left Sauna House, after showering (and by the way, the body wash smells amazing), I felt like I was in a new bodylighter, open-hearted, and free. My honey gifted me a bathhouse session, but it ended up being so much more than that. The staff on Wednesday, 2/4/26, were phenomenalpatient, kind, and incredibly informative. Their guidance made the experience feel safe and supportive, allowing me to fully lean into the sessions. Ive already recommended this experience to clients across the US in California, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina encouraging them to find a location near them or something similar, so they too can experience this kind of healing (of course, after medical clearance, because that cold water hits different!). If youre open to exploring deep emotional and physical release or just a moment of pure relaxation, I highly recommend Sauna House. Its more than a wellness session; its a reset for your mind, body, and spirit.

This was my first time there. We were there as part of a birthday trip with one of my girlfriends. The front desk staff was amazing very professional, answered all of our questions and gave us a guided tour so we would understand how everything works. I also loved that this was a cell phone free zone. It was so good to totally unwind with my friends with no distractions. My only recommendation would be that they put mirrors in the dressing room rooms when you were getting ready after experiencing the sauna and plunge pool. I live in Raleigh, NC and was happy to see that one will be opening there soon. I cant wait!

Talk about service! Kenya and Norina made me feel so at home the moment I walked in. As a first timer, I was impressed with the overall set up and care around the entire process. The facility is lovely and I appreciated the house rules.

We booked a private room at Sauna House. It was very relaxing. Would love if we could have controlled the music + lighting (you can do this at some other locations). The space was very clean. Also would be nice if there was a hot tub to alternate with the cold plunge :) All in all a great experience and would return!

Tamela was 10/10 amazing! Highly recommend. My only complaint about the whole experience is that I wish they had shoes to wear in the sauna and shower areas. Overall great experience though, Id definitely go back!
