Bathhouse
New York's Modern Bathhouse
Editor’s Take
The Aufguss schedule is posted weekly — the Friday evening sessions are the most theatrical and social. Book the rooftop on a clear evening for an unforgettable experience. The body scrub is worth the add-on cost. Bring a group — this is inherently a social experience.
About
Bathhouse arrived in Williamsburg and immediately became the benchmark for what a modern bathhouse should be. Occupying a converted warehouse, the space houses eight distinct thermal pools — from skin-tingling cold plunges to deeply hot soaking pools — spread across multiple levels and culminating in a stunning rooftop bathing deck with views of the Brooklyn skyline.\n\nThe Aufguss program elevates the experience from passive bathing to active ceremony. Trained Aufguss masters lead sessions that combine towel technique, essential oil infusions, and curated soundscapes to create theatrical sauna experiences that are equal parts wellness ritual and performance art. The crowd that gathers for these sessions is engaged and appreciative — it's communal wellness at its most compelling.\n\nThe design deserves recognition: warm materials, considered lighting, and spatial flow that guides bathers naturally between hot and cold, social and solitary. The restaurant and bar areas extend the experience beyond the pools, and many visitors find themselves staying far longer than planned. In a city that moves relentlessly fast, Bathhouse has created a rare space for genuine slowness and connection.
