Hothouse Spa & Sauna — Attraction in Seattle

Relaxing healing oasis in the city! Women only health spa sauna is a hidden gem to de-stress, escape the rainy cold of winter and hectic urban chaos! Very modest and cozy feel (unlike Olympus which I love too but is sometimes loud and big) the environment here is smaller, inviting, and personal. There is a jacuzzi with jets, dry sauna (very dry & not with the steam rocks), steam room with a nice refreshing relaxing scent (not overpowering but enough to give a uplifting and calming effect & appreciated so it doesn't smell dank like some steam rooms can), and a cold shower for a refreshing tonic effect to flush the lymphatics (not a cold pool plunge but equally effective). Exceptionally clean and very respectful and relaxing environment. The massage is excellent and a nice offering with the soak (though entrance to spa is separate). I've had several and all although style varies by practitioner all of them are very experienced and effective. Best of all it is affordable so makes it easy to visit as a regular ritual! My favorite getaway to...

It’s the best! Quiet, super clean, cozy. You can rent towels for $1 a towel.

I think 99% of people do but I’ve seen one or two cases where they didn’t (ew). Common courtesy is important. Keep quiet, knock before going into the bathroom (no lock on the door), be hygienic and you’ll have a great time. Super relaxing place and half the price of similar places. Also free lime water! And be sure to tip your spa attendant a buck or two, they work hard so you...

Coming here for the first time was such a great way to start the new year! There’s something really positive about being around other naked ladies of varying body types, all just relaxing quietly in a calm and welcoming space. I loved that there is no time limit and no clock - you just drift between the hot tub, scented steam room, and sauna at your leisure (drinking lots of water and using the cold shower in between!) and leave whenever you feel ready. No phones either, of course, though one person brought a book in. People seemed to respect the showering rule and things felt clean enough that I didn’t mind walking around barefoot. Much appreciation to Hothouse for making such a wonderful...
