“A jewel box.”The Wall Street Journal
We are not a bathhouse. We are something different. And that difference is felt.
Intimate by design
Only a few guests at a time. The room stays small on purpose, so nothing about your session belongs to anyone else.
Hosted with care
In the signature session, a host stays with you the whole way, sets the pace, and reads the room rather than a clock on the wall.
Hospitality first
From the tea and tonic pour to the breathing before the plunge, every detail is held with intention.
A space that takes the guesswork out of deep nervous system restoration
Three rounds of heat and cold, taken in sync and timed by your host. Fifteen minutes in the sauna, one to three in the water, and the cold is always yours to choose.
An unmarked door
The e on the wall marks a hidden sliding door. Leave the city on the landing, meet your host, and let the room take over.
Cedar & stillness
One hundred and eighty degrees of cedar and heat, until the body goes loose and the mind goes quiet.
+ Hydrating drinks servedGuided by the breath
Forty degrees. Breath-led cold immersion that sharpens presence and brings you back to center.
+ Breathing best practices offeredClose the evening
A tea or tonic to close, poured slow, before you step back out into the city.
From the guest book
Every review we’ve received is five stars.
An absolute gem in the city. The moment you walk in, it feels like a true escape from all the chaos.

Sindura R. · August 2025Nick and Keane create an environment that is both inviting and supportive, easy to get the most out of whether you are brand new or experienced.
Casey K. · September 2025Immersive cold plunge and sauna experience in Manhattan. Good vibes, clean, and the staff guide you through the whole experience. Excellent.
Charly C. · September 2025The coaching before the cold plunge really enhances the benefits. I always leave feeling better and more accomplished than when I arrived.
Evelyn P. · January 2026A really special experience, from the calming ambience to the community you meet, and of course the exceptional hospitality.

A speakeasy is born of whatever the era makes rare.
A century ago it was a stiff drink. Today it is an hour with nothing coming at you.
Made in New York to be the opposite of New York. A place to return, restore, and build resilience.
