Dillon's Russian Steam Bath

Dillons Russian Steam Bath, a historic landmark since 1885 and currently under the ownership of Lisa Rizzo, offers an authentic glimpse into Russia's rich steam bath traditions. Tucked away on Chestnut Street in Chelsea, Massachusetts, this place is steeped in history and continues to thrive by integrating modern amenities with traditional practices. The high-heat steam chamber reaches nearly 180 degrees Fahrenheit at the upper benches, making it a true test of endurance. Visitors can enjoy the platza oil rub service, described as one of the most enjoyable experiences ever, where an attendant uses oak leaves soaked in hot soapy water to brush over your entire body. The venue features plenty of showers and a lounge area with comfortable chairs, providing a comprehensive relaxation experience. With its rich history and commitment to preserving Russian steam bath traditions, Dillons is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a unique and rejuvenating wellness retreat.
