Hot-Cold-Relax Repeat
Hot-Cold-Relax Repeat
Where age-old bathing rituals, modern science, and social wellness meet. Our bathhouse design uses a three-part circuit — 15–20 minutes in the sauna, 3–5 minutes in the cold plunge, and ample time to rest — to help you feel more regulated and connected.
The lasting benefits of hot and cold therapy run deep, from clearer thinking and better sleep to stronger immunity and faster recovery. But the feeling right after a hot-cold-rest cycle? That part’s simple: For us, it’s feeling well.
Rest & Technology Detox
Rest & Technology Detox
Constant connectivity ≠ true connection. Charlotte Sauna House is a phone-free space — an intentional break from screens and the noise of the digital world.
Here, you can truly unplug, clear your mind, ease your stress, and return to your body. Without the constant scroll, there’s more room for presence, conversation, and quiet. Call it analog wellness. Or just a little freedom. Either way, your brain will thank you.
Community, Sustainability & Good Vibes
Community, Sustainability & Good Vibes
Wellness isn’t wellness if it doesn’t extend to the world around us. People and planet are interlinked, with businesses impacting the wellbeing of both.
That’s why we focus on environmental sustainability — as a 1% for the Planet partner, in the products and amenities chosen for our bathhouses, and in our resource use — as well as sustainable employment practices and bathhouse accessibility. We’re here to create spaces that feel good and do good, for all of us.
Our hours may vary — please check the booking page for the most up-to-date availability. Reservations to secure your desired time slot are strongly encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome, subject to availability.

You can find our complete list of house rules here.
To use our Hot-Cold-Relax bathing circuit, we recommend up to 15-20 minutes in the sauna, a cold shower to rinse off sweat, and a cold plunge for 3-5 minutes.
With both hot and cold therapy, always start small and listen to your body! Then, relax and rehydrate for 10-15 minutes before repeating the process. Of course these are simply guidelines! We encourage guests to move at their own pace and do what feels best for them.
All guests must shower off before starting their bathhouse visit to remove any lotions/oils/fragrances/bodily yuck. This helps preserve the wood of the sauna and ensures a clean environment for all. The showers are also available after your visit.
If it’s your first visit, don’t worry! Our staff is happy to orient you to the space and answer any questions. Think of it as a space to unwind, refresh, and move at your own pace. Bring a bathing suit, and let us take care of the rest!
You will need a non-sheer bathing suit that provides reasonable coverage.
We provide towels, private changing rooms, and showers with our in-house line of bathing products. Samples of our body oils are available at checkout.
We recommend that bathers bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. No glass in the bathhouse please.
We have flip flops available for sale, or you may bring your own, clean bathhouse footwear.
There’s a growing body of research behind what bathhouse goers have known for centuries: The benefits of saunas and cold plunges go beyond feeling good. They’re measurable. Read more about the benefits of sauna use for the cardiometabolic system and hypertension, the role of cold plunges in exercise recovery and on lowering high blood pressure, and how alternating hot and cold therapy does everything from regulating the parasympathetic nervous system to reducing inflammation, improving symptoms of endometriosis, and unlocking creativity.
Our individual showers and dry changing rooms are private and our restrooms are gender neutral. When it comes to storing your things, we have a communal space with wristband-activated lockers and shoe cubbies.
We are an inclusive space where everyone is welcome.
