Your first visit
Most of our guests are first-timers. This is the briefing: how the hosted Signature runs and what to bring. The Reset is self-guided; its current rhythm is on the reservation menu. The room itself we keep for people who come.
Before you arrive
- A swimsuit
- A water bottle, if you like
- Comfortable, minimal clothing
- A dedicated host for the Signature
- Electrolyte drinks during, tea and tonics after
- Showers, towels, and hairdryers
The flow
One guided passage between heat and cold, carried by your host. Your only job is to be in the room.
Ten minutes early
Aim to arrive about ten minutes before your session; doors close ten minutes after it begins, so plan accordingly. Your host meets you at the door and walks you through what’s ahead. Locker rooms with showers are yours to settle in.
The heat
Three rounds of Finnish sauna and ice bath, alternating, paced by your host rather than a clock on the wall. Electrolyte drinks are served between rounds in the sauna.
The cold
Between each sauna, the ice bath. Your host guides the breathing and stays close. Sixty seconds to start; if you feel steady, you’re welcome to extend to three minutes.
The close
At the bar, tea and tonics are poured slow to close the evening. Stay in the lounge as long as you like, or take yours with you.
House rules
Seven, kept short. They keep the room good for everyone in it.
We are not a bathhouse.
Arrive ten minutes early. Sessions are immersive, and you are part of the experience.
Phones stay in the locker.
Keep in sync.Rounds are paired; be mindful of who you’re with and come out of the sauna together.
Be courteous. Ask the room before pouring water on the stove; one or two ladles every five minutes is suggested.
Rinse before the ice bath. We take pride in our standards of cleanliness.
Preserve the heat. The sauna is better hot; keep the door closed as you come and go.
Common questions
I’ve never done an ice bath. Will I be okay?
Most of our guests are first-timers. In the hosted Signature, your host offers breathing guidance at the cold; in the self-guided Reset, you control the rhythm yourself. You always control how long you stay in.
Can I come alone?
Yes. Many of our guests come solo. The Signature stays intimate, with up to 4 guests, and the host carries the structure so you can settle in without bringing anyone.
Are there health considerations I should know about?
Temperature contrast involves exposure to extreme heat (about 180°F) and extreme cold (about 40°F). If you have any cardiovascular or respiratory concerns, are pregnant, or have other relevant medical history, please consult your healthcare provider before reserving. All guests must be 18 or older.
When should I arrive?
About 10 minutes before your session. Doors close 10 minutes after each session begins to keep the experience intact for everyone in the room, so we can’t guarantee entry after that.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Each session has its own notice window, shown with your reservation details. Cancel before the deadline and eligible value is returned: session credits go back to their balance, while card-paid reservations can return as Elahni credit or to the original card. Inside the notice window, you may cancel, but the payment or credit is not returned, and self-service rescheduling is unavailable. Our full policy lives in our Terms.
How do I find you?
We’re on the second floor at 12 W 27th Street in NoMad, Manhattan. The entrance is intentionally discreet. Exact arrival details are shared when you reserve.
