About this Sanctuary

Located in Brooklyn, this Russian sauna offers an immersive and traditional experience that transports you back to the heart of Russia. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a blend of modern amenities and classic sauna traditions. Guests appreciate the authentic wood-burning heat, which fills the air with a pleasant eucalyptus scent in the steam room. The saunas are spacious, allowing for relaxation and rejuvenation, while the cold plunge pool provides an invigorating contrast to the warmth of the saunas. The food served is top-notch, offering hearty meals like borscht and traditional Russian fare that pair well with drafts of beer. While some changes have been implemented, such as a 4-hour time limit which can feel rushed for many patrons, the overall atmosphere remains welcoming and community-driven.
