About
AIRE's Chicago baths fill a restored 1902 factory in River West, lit by candles. The circuit moves between warm, hot and cold pools, a salt float bath, a jet bath, an aromatherapy steam room and a dry sauna. The Palestra, a warm outdoor pool, is reached by swimming out through a waterfall.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Hot tub on site: adds a warm-water option between the sauna and the cold plunge for a longer cycle.
- Pool on site: works alongside the sauna for swim-and-sauna sessions or a longer cool-down between rounds.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
