I truly had such an amazing experience here! What a special Brooklyn retreat. Steam room, hot tub, and saunas. The space was clean and peaceful, and my massage was incredible! Couldn’t recommend it enough.

This spa can be rented out for a group party. It's a fantastic space for this with two outdoor saunas, a hot tub that fits 5 at a time, and a cold plunge for 1. The massages here were phenomenal. Everyone in the group was raving about them. They let us bring in a catered lunch too.

My happy place. Coming here every week is a balm for my soul in so many ways. In good times and bad times, coming here always restores me. It’s exactly what a bathouse should be. I’m a member as well and it’s the best money I’ve spent in years. Thanks to Liz for making such a wonderful space for all of us to be together and peaceful

WHAT A GEM. Not only was Liz’s massage the best I’ve had in Brooklyn, her calming presence and care put the experience over the top. They also have a beautiful backyard you can lounge in—plus free strawberries and almonds after your session!!

WOW!!! What can I say that hasn't already been said by all these amazing reviews! I spoke with Liz (who was so warm and lovely on the first call) to book the couple's Staycation package for my 1 year marriage anniversary with my wife. In true Man fashion, I only called 2 weeks in advance, which for a place like this I was sure would be too short notice. But Liz and her team made it work and squeezed us into the schedule on our anniversary day.
I was so excited leading up to the day of the experience, as it was a surprise to my wife as well. When we arrived Liz and her team (shout out to Alyssa, Jae, Sarah!) were so warm and welcoming, and explained how the experience works. It's important to note that my wife and I only get massages on vacations, which is barely once a year, and never really do anything in the realm of 'relaxing' experiences, so we were newbies to how this all worked.
We were given comfy slippers and a tour of the facilities, which include rain showers, steam room, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, hammock, lounge area, and a variety of hot/cold drinks (tea and infused water) and snacks (strawberries, nuts, etc).
We spent the bulk of the first 2 hours enjoying the steam room and hot tub. We could only last in the sauna about 3-4 minutes! And then lounging in the sun on the nice wooden loungers. Instead of fully relaxing, we may have talked shop and work the whole time...oops. Liz said if that's what we find relaxing then it's ok (thanks for understanding, Liz!). We applied the clay mask to each other (very romantic) and wife pointed out how my non-use of sunscreen has been affecting my face.
We had the whole place to ourselves and it felt like a private oasis. I was wondering if you'd feel strange being essentially in the backyard of a townhouse, but it felt so private and peaceful that it didn't bother me at all.
When it came time for the hour-long hot stone massage, we took a quick rinse and laid under the pergola, ready for Liz and Sara's magic hands. They are STRONG! We both felt like jello after, having all our stress melted away (I think Sara called it 'steamrolled' which is hilarious). It lightly rained during the massage, and since the pergola was covered, we didn't get wet and the sounds were an amazing experience.
All in all, a truly wonderful experience and I am so happy I found cityWell Brooklyn. Thank you from me and Tiff for being part of our special day. We will definitely be back before the next anniversary!
