Banya 5

Banya 5 is an upscale and professional spa that offers a rejuvenating experience. The sauna, staffing, and amenities, including a small hot pool, steam sauna with eucalyptus, dry sauna, cold shower/plunge, and a tepid salinated tub, are praised by visitors. The spa also features an area with hot tea, lemon water, and self-care tools. Many guests highlight the cold plunge as a standout feature that sets it apart from other spas in the area. While some guests find the prices a bit high, they agree that it is the cleanest and most well-maintained spa in Seattle. The atmosphere is described as peaceful, with limited guest capacity, allowing for a private experience. The dim lighting in the sauna creates a relaxing ambiance that transports visitors to another place. Overall, Banya 5 is highly recommended for those seeking a little escape from Seattle while being directly in downtown Seattle.
