About Archimedes Banya

Archimedes Banya is a co-ed bathhouse offering a unique experience with both clothed and clothing-optional options. Visitors can enjoy a variety of facilities, including Russian Saunas, a Finnish Sauna, an Eucalyptus Steam-room, a Japanese Soaking Tub, a Jacuzzi, a Cold Plunge, and a pool with room-temperature water. The venue features a Spa, a Bar/Restaurant, a TV Lounge, a Deck, and a Rooftop with stunning views.

Guests must be at least 18 years old and present a government-issued ID for entry, along with a Basic Banya Pass, which can be purchased on-site. Upon check-in, guests receive a key for a locker equipped with fresh towels, bathrobes, and flip flops. The experience is designed to be enjoyable, with a three-hour time limit that many find adequate.

While the atmosphere is meant to be social, some guests note that conversations can get loud, particularly in the pool area. Many visitors appreciate the cleanliness and the attentive staff, with some suggesting that a tour for new visitors could enhance the experience. The aroma infusion sauna, offered daily, is especially recommended for those seeking relaxation.

Archimedes Banya never fails to deliver a warm atmosphere, both from the baths and the staff. The cafe offers soul-filling eats, and the rooftop provides beautiful views. Although some aspects like the beer kvass were criticized, the venue remains popular for those looking to unwind. The entrance fee is $67, with a happy hour rate of $55 on weekdays before 4 PM, and street parking is available.

Meena gave me great massage that took away all my ache and pain from traveling 20 hr+ away from home. She was also very good with hummam salt scrubbing using special salt which make my skin smooth and glow. Highly recommend this professional masseuse.
Locker room is small and not equipped with basic necessities such as hair dryer. Spa and bath area was a bit small and crowded when i visited around 17:00 pm on Friday. Welcoming service is no admiring because receptionist lacks hospitality experience.
May be this is the only co-ed Banya in the Bay area i guess it is the seller market not as much one for the buyer.

About 10 different options for nude recreation, consisting of numerous saunas, a steam bath, hot pools, a cold plunge, a cool temperature pool and a rooftop for laying out and enjoying views of the city. My partner and I find the vibe to be casual and non-sexual. It simply makes a lot more sense to go unclothed at a place like this. It's great that we have this option in the US.
