What the session is

Most saunas in NYC are a bench tucked into the back of a gym or a single infrared cabin you sit in alone. Elahni is built around the sauna itself. You arrive, change, and step into a traditional dry Finnish sauna that runs hot the way it should. Over 70 minutes a host carries the structure, moving the small group between the heat of the sauna and the shock of the cold plunge.

The room holds up to 4 guests. That keeps it quiet and uncrowded, with no wait for a spot on the bench.

Where it is

Elahni is in NoMad at 12 W 27th Street, Floor 2, a few minutes from the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park. If you have been searching for a sauna near you in midtown or downtown Manhattan, this is central to both.

Why guided, and why small

Heat and cold do more when someone holds the pace for you. The Signature host guides you through each round and your breathing, so you are not watching a clock or second-guessing yourself. The small room stays calm and personal rather than turning into a busy bathhouse floor.

Common questions

Where is Elahni's sauna in NYC?
Elahni is at 12 W 27th Street, Floor 2, in NoMad, Manhattan, between Broadway and Sixth Avenue. It is a short walk from the Flatiron district, Madison Square Park, and the 28th Street and 23rd Street subway stops.
Is this a traditional Finnish sauna or an infrared sauna?
Traditional Finnish, or dry sauna. The sauna runs around 180°F, which is about 40 degrees warmer than infrared. A dry sauna heats the air around you, and that hot air heats you from the skin inward, while infrared leaves the air cool and uses light waves to warm your body directly.
How much does a sauna session cost?
$65 per seat for the 70-minute Signature, with up to 4 guests.
Can I reserve a private sauna?
Yes. You can reserve the room privately for you or a small group. Choose the private option when you reserve a session.
Do I need to reserve in advance?
Yes. Sessions are reservation-only so the space stays intimate. Same-day times can open, but reserving ahead is the surest way in.

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