Sauna House Charlotte offers a comprehensive contrast therapy experience centered on traditional Finnish saunas and deep cold plunges. The spa features both a dark sauna and a light sauna room. The dark sauna is equipped with two traditional Finnish sauna heaters that allow temperatures to exceed 190°F, creating a serious level of steam and humidity when scented water is poured over the sauna stones. It includes a three-level high bench for varying heat intensity. For the cold plunge, the public space offers two cold pools set to different temperatures, each approximately 4.3 feet deep to allow for full submersion, which guests note is key for contrast therapy. The design facilitates standing and deep rhythmic breathing. Private party rooms also contain a three-level sauna and a plunge pool. Spa-goers consistently highlight the clean sauna and shower facilities, the effectiveness of the contrast therapy sessions, and the associated mental and physical recovery benefits. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building with unique architectural features in Wesley Heights, this modern bathhouse provides a distinct and inviting atmosphere. The main lounge area is flooded with natural light from large windows, creating a relaxed space with low noise levels for resting between sessions. The venue offers both a shared bathhouse and two private party rooms for groups. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, the easy booking process, and the overall good vibe enhanced by music and plants. Additional amenities include a Himalayan salt room, heated recovery benches, scented body washes, lavender tea, kombucha, towels, and private changing rooms. As a 1% for the Planet business, Sauna House Charlotte aims to create a welcoming, community-focused space for all visitors.
