CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel

I was underwhelmed for the price. I expected it to be higher end, nicer touches, and better run for a $100 3-hour pass. I tried to relax but was always reflecting in my mind- is this worth more than $.50 a minute? The facilities are nice. The basement sanctuary was sort of odd for me. It was moody but I also love sunlight and Portland already feels like a basement with no light 6 months out of the year. I don’t understand the appeal of no light? The atrium area was beautiful but kept entirely too cold both in air temp and pool temp to enjoy. No robes for use? No bath products like a scrub or an aromatherapy blend to enjoy post spa? I was just surprised at the lack of finish. This place is close and I see what they’re trying to do, but it’s charging high end prices and giving mid-range amenities at best. The overall effect is that you know you’re getting tricked into believing it’s really worth it and it’s like no one wants to say it as it’s the “fanciest” we have here in Portland.

Decided last minute to try to go to the thermal springs for my birthday at Cascada. They only had 1 time spot available online, but Sara at the front desk was so nice and helpful and she offered to get my friend in with me because it was my birthday. They also gave us free robes to use. We had the most relaxing time! It’s beautiful, light, clean, and didn’t feel too crowded even though they were sold out for the day. I will definitely be going back. Afterwards we swung by Terra Mae for a quick celebratory drink. Cocktails were fantastic as always. Thank you Sara! You’re the best! You made me feel so special on my bday. 🥰

Wonderful experience. Beautiful, tranquil, clean. The pool area in conservatory was open daylight vibe. Sanctuary had great options for circuit experience. We loved it. Guests were courteous. Staff were ever present to keep hydration and clean and clear areas. Glad we came for a day pass

This is a review for the thermal springs: it was disappointing. For $100 and what appears to be limited spots when booking online, I expected it to feel a bit exclusive and high end. We went on a Monday night for our anniversary and it was busy and distracting/nonrelaxing. Very strange vibe in here with several individuals apparently doing Instagram shoots...honestly, that I could ignore BUT the springs themselves left much to be desired. The "sanctuary" was packed with people, smelled of chlorine and the temperatures of the pools were all off. Felt more like a dirty, dimly lit basement. I liked the outside but again it was way too crowded to feel relaxing and the middle pool was the nicest but the temperature was off. What bothered me the most was the lack of cleanliness in the bathroom. When I arrived there was a musty smell and hair on the floor everywhere. I thought it would be better when I came back to shower but nope...it was in fact worse. Customer service was nice. So I guess do not expect it to be exclusive, romantic or high end and you will be fine. Guess I had higher expectations.

My partner and I had an absolutely luxurious time at this Spa Hotel! The staff is kind and helpful and the thermal springs were transcendent. Our room wag gorgeous, it had huge windows and view of Mt Hood - and the bed was super comfy. Coffee shop downstairs in the morning stocks delicious food and also has great coffee! There’s also a gallery attached to the hotel you can stroll through with beautiful work. Also the location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the arts district. 11/10 - hope to return soon! Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

An incredible relaxing and peaceful stay! The facility is incredible. The neighborhood fun with great food and drinks. So quiet and we enjoyed the workout facilities as well as every pool! The massages were excellent (Michelle was our Masseuse). We are definitely coming back!

Went to cascada for a birthday soak to enjoy the thermal springs. $100 per person for three hours of soak time. We went on a sunny day and got to enjoy the outdoor area in february which was great! Shout out to Kelsey who was a really accommodating and sweet worker at the springs. Only downside I saw to the visit is they don’t give you a robe unless you booked a treatment. I asked if I could rent one and they told me they could sell me one for $100 lol. We went on a thursday at 10:00 and did not have trouble finding street parking, but could see it being a challenge at a busier time of day. I’ll hopefully be back though, had a great time over all.

My friend and I had such a lovely experience at Cascada. From the moment we arrived, the check-in team was friendly, welcoming, and informative, which set the tone for a relaxing evening. The locker rooms were clean, dry, and well maintained, always a big plus. For a Sunday night, it felt spacious and peaceful. We had plenty of room to both unwind and actually enjoy a quiet conversation, which made the experience feel especially restorative. The pools and temperature variety were spot-on, everything felt thoughtfully calibrated for true relaxation. We also have to shout out the bartender, who was friendly, funny, and made the bar feel warm and inviting, plus we loved hearing about the new bar opening soon! Overall, it was a wonderful visit and we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Cascada, for creating such a beautiful and relaxing space.

One of the hottest spas(no pun intended) I've been to in Portland. From clean and beautiful locker rooms with amenities such as a shower with gentle individually temperature controlled showers and awesome smelling body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion, bracelet locking lockers, and a spinner to dry your swimsuit. Now enter the conservatory with its wall-lined plants and end up overlooking the room temp swimming pool. Go down the stairs and have a dip, quiet chat or just read a book. Lay on a big oversized couch or chair and sip on herbal tea or water. Don't worry it's in a silicone cup so it won't shatter if you dropped it. Ready for the best part? Head downstairs to the basement but remember it's a quiet zone and no cell phones. Step into a dimly lit area with chill sounds playing I. The speakers. Hey, they have a suggestion routine to follow but it's only a suggestion. Enjoy the hot pool, the ambient pool, the cold plunge, or the lukewarm pool with the waterfall feature to completely relax you. Step into the steam sauna or the dry sauna to completely relax your experience. Don't forget to grab some ice cubes and rub them on your body after the steam sauna. Ahhh, feels so good. Hey, I don't take any pics of the place because I wanted to enjoy the place for what it offers. Plenty of other pics if you look on here. A little pricey so definitely a special treat but I guarantee you would forget it anytime soon. You can even follow it up with a massage if you want. Massage extra. The thing I like is the allotted time you get is more than enough and they aren't sticklers if you run over a little. Definitely recommend this place from the nice and welcoming staff and super easy check in process to the beautiful layout.

Review of spa only - 100/10. Can't wait to return - scheduled my next visit shortly after leaving. Things to know - they provide everything you could need - towels and sandals, toiletries, there are cups for tea and water, lockers. Essentially, bring your bathing suit and you need little else. You might see 2.5 hours or 3 hours listed - you're intended to have 2+ hours to enjoy the spa, plus time in the locker room after to get cleaned up, so that's why you might see the different times. This is PLENTY of time. I was such a noodle near the end of my visit that I couldn't get back into another pool and was just resting on a chaise until my friend was ready to get dressed. The locker rooms are upstairs, you go down one level to the social pool. I was worried this room would be cold - nope, it's plenty warm and comfortable and the pool here is a warm soaking pool. There are skylites above and windows so if the sun is shining, you get to enjoy that. Enjoyed chatting and catching up here with my friends - you're encouraged to keep your voices low and during our visit, everyone did. Hot tea is available on this level and it was delicious. On the lower level below that one are the sauna, steam room, hot tub, ambient pool, cold plunge and mineral pool. On the way in there is a sign suggesting a couple circuit options. My friends missed that and wished they'd noticed it. I didn't need to do a special circuit as soaking in any of the pools was just a delight. This area is recommended silence and is very quiet and dimly lit. Such a balm. It's not entirely silent so if you need to whisper something, it seems fine, but I also highly recommend you try to enjoy the silence because there are so few places that are so calming for the nervous system. There are separate towels available inside the sauna for your use in the sauna as well. Again, they've thought out all of your needs. I look forward to my next visit.

Absolutely beautiful facility and looks exactly like the photos and videos. Could be the perfect place for Zen. The one thing that ruins it are cellphones and obnoxious people/groups who are there for the photo op and to post on social media. It ruined the experience. I intentionally left my phone in my locker and brought a book to be able to enjoy a few hours of quiet and relaxation on my birthday. Boy was I wrong. Maybe it's because the facility is still new. Spa World which is also an amazing facility has a designated area for cellphone use. Their no cell phone policy and enforcement of quiet in specific areas enhances the experience.

Came here for a friend's birthday. Very relaxing experience. Super clean locker rooms with everything you could need. The main level pool was not super warm. Lounging area. Tea available. The bottom floor is basically an oasis. They are super strict about you being quiet though. I don't think it helped our case that the first part we went to there was a staff member off duty who I think told on my friend who wasn't being quiet enough. And then when someone else was being loud, they came and talked to us. Made her birthday not the best experience. All the pools and sauna areas are great. Just be prepared to not be allowed to talk. I don't believe it's worth $100. Go to Kennedy school for $10 and you can talk. But if you really want the sauna experience then I guess this may be worth it.

I'm really grateful to be a founding member of Cascada. Before anything else- the staff is fantastic! The nicest and most professional people I've ever encountered in a gym. Everyone is so welcoming and good at their jobs. Since I moved to Portland nearly 10 years ago, I've wanted a gym that has it all. Not because I need something boujee, but because I'm more motivated and less likely to make excuses when my gym has amenities that makes my life easier. I can show up and really just bring myself and my clothes. The equipment (mats, towels, blocks, balls, and everything else), towels, shampoo, soap, even the deodorant is already there. They even serve herbal tea in the conservatory. I can work out and head straight to work or wherever else I need to go. I don't need to lug much around or run home first. To my knowledge, this is the first and only luxury gym in NE Portland. Another perk for me personally is that I can walk to Cascada from my house. I was interested in the membership because of the gym, but the thermal springs has won me over. Since it is part of my membership, I've been taking advantage. Cascada is brand new and still has minor growing pains. It's not perfect yet, but I am confident that it will be.

Really lovely visit to the Cascada spa and thermal springs this past weekend. I got this as a birthday present for my gf and it was an absolute hit. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell that a ton of attention to detail was applied to the decor. Everything from the lobby space, locker rooms, and pools themselves were beautiful. Check-in was simple and they use a great wristband system to get around which makes things easy. The springs themselves are well laid out and have nice flow. There's 3 thermal springs, a steam room, and sauna to rotate through which can get a little busy on a Sunday afternoon but likely wouldn't be as bad in a less peak time. The ambiance in the lower area is tranquil and relaxing with low music and dimmed lights. Definitely more for 1-2's rather than large groups as the bottom area is meant to be a quiet zone with no talking. The upper pool is equally a wonderful and serene space. The day beds were all filled when we were there but we were able to use lounge chairs above. If I had any feedback it's that they could be a bit more strict with things on the lower level. Some folks were chattering and distracting from the environment. Also the system for setting your things down is a little haphazard. I think by having more specified drop-zones and reducing outside bags etc it would just make everything look a bit more tidy. Overall for $10 more than another local Portland spring this is hands down winner across the board.

CASCADA was an amazing time!! It was beautiful on the inside with lots of plants and natural lighting. When you go downstairs, it's a silent/zen area that is dark and full of different temperature soaking pools and saunas. It made for a lovely and refreshing morning.

Wow! Holy gaaaawd. Amazing spa experience. Knot Springs fan but gee louie- watch out! The sanctuary had a much more relaxed, peaceful, and private feel. Being underground makes a huge difference. We hope to become members and visit regularly. We can't until till the vegan restaurant opens. The Portuguese/japanese fusion spot looks really good too.

Truly incredible experience. Have lived in the Portland, OR area for over 25 years and I would rank this as one of the top 5 experiences of all time. A truly exceptional spa. Great customer service. And certainly a unique experience. The 3 hour time block is a generous amount of time to enjoy all aspects of the facility. There are plenty of options ranging from the cold plunge to the sauna and steam room, the mineral pool, ambient pool, and the hot tub. Very relaxing and a fun enjoyable environment. You will walk away refreshed and wanting to return again soon. Highly recommend.

This brand new complex is spectacular! My bestie took me for a birthday treat, and I loved it. She belongs to the coworking space and gets use of the gym, which also has fitness classes. But the crown jewel is the spa. It is on two levels - a huge open solarium filled with live plants and a warm pool where you can hang out and enjoy the sun or chat with friends. Then down into the dark, warm sanctuary, beautifully lit and filled with calming music. A truly restorative and relaxing experience to enjoy the mineral pool, hot tub, cold plunge, sauna and steam room. Just gorgeous, every detail thought through. I can't wait to come back!

It's nice enough but personally I wouldn't go again until maybe the outdoor area was open and they fixed the coat bars in the lockers which crash nonstop to the floor and are jarring. I was bored after 30 minutes. It was also kinda crowded and you can't talk, except in the upstairs pool where everyone is taking selfies. I'm sure it's great for some people. I just found it okay.

This place is awesome. Very nice touches throughout and beautiful! There were a couple things that if adjusted would make this place 5 stars for me. The groups of people who don't adhere to the no cellphone and talking policy was kind of annoying. It is nice to get space to just sit and be quiet but some groups didn't adhere to it. The other issue was the towels and robes. We got 1 towel and no robe. I am not sure what they give you a towel because mine was stolen both times I hung it up and when I came back for it, it was gone. There isn't a real need for a towel but a robe would have been nice but we didn't even get one of those like you would at a spa. and it becomes an issue because someone either takes your plain white towel or I would suggest they just give robes instead and hand out towels for the locker room. Beyond these two things this place is beautiful and it would be better if they kept this place a sanctuary and didn't allow social media and reminded people of the no talking policy.

My husband and I had SUCH a lovely time utilizing the spa here. The space is absolutely gorgeous, so clean, and the vibes are super relaxing. There's a variety of pools, hot tubs, steam and heat rooms to suit any whim! Highly recommend this experience, and cannot wait to book a massage at some point in the future :)

Absolutely incredible spa and wellness experience. While they are just on the cusp of opening. I am beyond excited for this business to thrive! I just know they will become an institution in Portland and attract people from all over to experience the joy of this space.

I've been to a lot of spas in my life all the way down through Southern California. This one tops every single one of them in creating a truly relaxing experience with exceptionally spacious pools and saunas. Also most spas are not thermal springs unless you go into a rural spa. This one is very convenient! The spaces are beautiful, soft lighting and pristine waters to create the best spa experience I have had. I went on a weekday and it was a perfect number of people. Lots of room to relax and lie down in the sauna. One person did talk too loudly and the attendant spoke with him. Perfect. We are from Seattle and stayed at the hotel. We were told that there are more amenities coming to the rooms but we found the room completely satisfactory. Mattress was great. All eco friendly and natural materials. Ambient lighting and draperies at my fingertips on a panel. So many fun details to experience. We ate at Terra Mae which was a show stopping experience! Tonkatsu and Enoki mushrooms! Morning espressos were had in the cafe situated in the lobby. They make all their own milks plus matcha and golden milk and the food is all made in Terra Mae's kitchen. We loaded up with their sandwiches for our return home. How do they make such wonderful food? We have already decided to make this place part of our regular trip to Portland. Thank you Cascada!
