Great lil spot. Steam room, dry heat room (doesn't always work so ask before you pay) and cold plunge pool! The trio ..It works! I don't know how but you come out come transformed. Popup cafes means delicious healthy snacks and meals on site too. They have a variety of practitioners, check their website as it changes daily.

Great concept & beautiful building. Friendly staff. Great food. Amazing scented hand soap & lotion. I want to love it fully! The two stars are for how noisy it is. It’s not a relaxing, spa type of environment IMHO. It’s hard to relax with so much noice/loud talking. It’s *really loud* especially in the eating area. I was speaking with others near the bathroom (the only relatively quiet place there) & we agreed it would be much better if they could close off the eating area & keep other areas in a relaxing/spa/quieter atmosphere. Since it’s all open, including the massage areas, I personally find the noise makes it hard to relax fully. Even the steam room is like a party. Sundays are super crowded. I’ll try a Tuesday if I can.

I enjoyed my time here. However, based on the website, I was under the impression that it was a bathhouse with hot, warm, and cool pools. There is a dry sauna, hot sauna, and a cold pool at about 45-50 degrees which is quite a refreshing plunge after spending time in the heat. The upper lounge areas are cozy and welcoming. Being vegan, I didn't plan on sampling any of the food, but other patrons were quick to say how good it all was. I spoke with a gentleman who had been visiting the establishment for almost 40 years and had nothing but good things to say about everything within and gave me a little history and pointers for when I visit again. There are massages available, as well (separate fee), though I wasn't there long enough to partake. There's a smoking lounge and security for your parked vehicle. Be sure to tip the doorman as he's making sure your car stays safe.

Lily gives the BEST Platza services! Highly recommend her bodywork. The space is a little awkward at first with how it's laid out. and definitely haunted bc I felt the presence of several spirits, but the staff and my friends I went with helped menavigate the experience. I didn't get to get the food but the selection was pretty diverse and it all looked good. I brought my own robe so i didn't have to rent one. Bring a lock for the lockers too.

I’ve been coming here recently to photograph brunch events for a friend and from what I’ve seen this is the perfect spot in the area to come to if you’re looking for quality massages, a steam room, aswell as a room for smoking and areas to relax. Pretty cool staff aswell. Overall good vibes indeed.

Had a wonderful time at The Schvitz. Went on a Tuesday for ladies only. Had a phenomenal massage ( have to book through Insta). Fantastic time hanging out with my sister and best friend enjoying the saunas and cold pool. Highly recommend!

If your want relaxation. This is the place. The ONLY BATH HOUSE with old world charm Go alone and soak up the quiet time. Take your significant other on couple night. Or take a few friends with you for some chat time. Don’t forget to taste the good food. Steam/sauna/pool/massages. The scalp massage was awesome. It’s all there. FYI: Sunday ladies day ( lots of chatter and friendly gathering). I love Friday couples night Other days available. Check them out.

What an experience! First time we came as a group of 3 girls on a Saturday. People of all ages were there and overall friendly environment.this is a historic building so be prepared for showing some age along with the character. Not a brand new place.There are two saunas (dry & steam) and a cold pool- most people do cycles: sauna, JUMP in the cold pool, sauna. For the full experience, you have to do the polar plunge.. it’s like no other! also, Drink lots of water and take off jewelry before the saunas.Bring sandals and a robe or you can rent both.There is a small kitchen serving food and you can BYOB. Recommend drinking alcohol only after your sessions- not before or while sauna-ing!

The Schvitz is one of the best places/experiences I have ever had! Every feature downstairs helps you relax & takes the stress away. The food that is available is ALWAYS good! Definitely will be a place you can’t stay away from once you go.
