Sauna House Charlotte

Overview

Sauna House Charlotte is a modern, tech-free bathhouse rooted in the ancient ritual of contrast therapy, featuring traditional Finnish saunas and cold plunge pools. Located in Charlotte, NC, it offers a communal space for deep rest, reset, and social connection through a Hot-Cold-Relax circuit: 15-20 minutes in the sauna, 3-5 minutes in the cold plunge, and time to lounge.
