Cold Plunge in NYC, NoMad

Cold plunge and ice bath in NYC

Elahni pairs a cold plunge around 40°F with a traditional Finnish sauna around 180°F in NoMad, Manhattan. The hosted Signature is reservation-only and currently runs 70 minutes, up to 4 guests, $65 per seat.

Why it is paired with heat

A cold plunge does more when it is paired with heat. At Elahni the plunge is one half of a rhythm: into the sauna to warm through, into the cold to reset, and back again, a few rounds across the session. That contrast is the point, and it is what separates this from stepping into a cold tub on its own.

The plunge is deep and properly cold, held around 40°F. A host guides each round, so you know when to get in and how long to hold, which makes the cold far easier to meet than going it alone.

Where it is

Elahni is in NoMad at 12 W 27th Street, Floor 2, central to Flatiron, midtown, and downtown Manhattan. If you have been looking for an ice bath or cold plunge near you in the city, it is an easy walk from Madison Square Park and the 28th Street trains.

Kept small

The hosted Signature holds up to 4 guests. The cold is intense enough without a crowd watching, so the room stays calm. Reservations are required to keep it that way.

Common questions

Where can I do a cold plunge in NYC?
At Elahni, 12 W 27th Street, Floor 2, in NoMad, Manhattan. The cold plunge runs alongside a traditional Finnish sauna, so you alternate between cold and hot rather than plunging on its own.
How cold is the plunge?
Around 40°F. Cold enough to do the work, held steady through the session. In the hosted Signature, your host guides how long to stay in; in the self-guided Reset, you choose your own rhythm.
Is a cold plunge the same as an ice bath?
In practice, yes. People search for both. The plunge at Elahni is a deep, properly chilled cold pool you submerge in, paired with the heat of the sauna for full contrast.
How much is a session and how long is it?
$65 per seat for the 70-minute Signature, with up to 4 guests. That covers the full sauna-and-cold-plunge session, not a single dip.
I have never done cold exposure. Is that okay?
Completely. Many guests are first-timers. The host eases you in and you control how long you stay. See what to expect on your first visit.

The room stays intimate, and every session is by reservation.
