Cold Plunge & Sauna
Signal Sauna offers a Nordic-style pop-up experience centered on contrast therapy, featuring wood-fired barrel saunas and powered cold plunge tubs. The spa provides two barrel saunas, with guests noting one typically runs hotter while the other offers a more comfortable temperature and seating style. Multiple cold plunge tubs are maintained at a consistently frosty temperature. Spa-goers can choose between guided sessions, which include three to four rounds of heat and cold with breathwork and meditation, or open sessions for a self-paced "choose your own adventure" experience. The cleanliness of both the sauna facilities and the cold plunges is consistently highlighted by visitors.
