About our Social Sauna Facilities

Tucked away on the backside neighborhood of Capitol Hill, Steam Gardens is a word-of-mouth, speakeasy-style social sauna connected to the GartenParty Guest House, which operates out of the same building. The majority of the sauna space is carefully crafted using up-cycle and re-use, and is part of a collaboration among: a finish carpenter, a goldsmith, a sauna builder, and artists.

Our space is scrappy, intentionally crafted for social connection and clothing-optional—a place where time stretches, phones disappear, and social bathing is juxtaposed with art and up-cycle.
