CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel

Did a staycation here and loved it. We went to the thermal springs, got a facial, took a group fitness class and ate at Terra Mae, so I’d say we got to experience almost all the hotel had to offer. The spa experience is first rate here in Portland. The staff were welcoming, the facilities felt luxurious, and the service was great. The room was also nice although a little overly tech-reliant. It was cool to figure out the curtains were button operated and the stove was an invisible induction one, but not everything was intuitive or user friendly. I’m only sharing this as it was the only gripe we had about the place. The wristband keys were very useful to go to all parts of the hotel. Alberta is fun but as locals we come to the street often, but it is great you can walk to all along the neighborhood. We have two little kids and didn’t bring them and we’re glad to have left them home. The hotel is more adult oriented, Alberta’s a nice spot for families but kids can get bored without much to do inside the hotel. Overall, I enjoyed it much more than my spa experience at the Portland Ritz. I will be going to back to the Spa and will be recommending the hotel to my visitors from out of state.

I could brag all day about Cascade Spa—the experience was absolutely incredible! From the moment I walked in, it felt like stepping into a luxurious escape. The amenities are unreal—seriously, I felt like a kid in a waterpark, trying everything and loving every second of it. The massage was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had. That said, I got a little too excited and overdid it in the hot springs, which left me feeling dizzy and sick for a short while, right before my massage. But here's where this spa truly sets itself apart: Dalyn and her team were amazing. I wish I could give them a million stars. Their care went far beyond customer service—it was genuine, human compassion. Dalyn stayed by my side, made sure I was okay, and I could tell she truly cared about my well-being. I felt safe, supported, and incredibly grateful. This is by far the best spa experience in Portland, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you're going to relax or indulge in every amenity, you’re in the best hands here. Thank you, Cascade Spa—and thank you, Dalyn!

My review pertains to a springs visit only. Check in and out was super easy, the facilities beautiful, and everything was thought out really thoroughly when creating this place. I loved the silent level and people were really compliant about it. Even the "social" areas were subdued, so I really liked that because I could enjoy those spots too. Staff were helpful and friendly. You're provided towels and flip flops for your visit. The toiletries were nice and I liked the simplicity of the shower fixtures and full length doors for the showers and toilets. My only complaint is that there aren't purchasing options for a longer visit or to add hours onto the visit. Needless to say, I'll definitely visit again.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived. The outside was clean and attractive, the architectural lines of the building definitely inviting. Preview of the photo's on the website surreal, I wanted to know if they matched the reality of my visit. I was not disappointed. The photos on the website do not capture the magical atmosphere. The calming tranquility you instantly feel stepping into the spa area. I had to physically stop to take it all in. Every sense was hit in the first few minutes and lasted the entire time I was able to spend enjoying my visit. First, the beautiful aromas empowered even more by the tranquility of soothing music, then onto the warmth of the first dip into the pool. Incredibly relaxing, soothing, and fulfilling The entire area was meticulously clean, inviting, and instantly calming. The staff were equally as top-notch as the premises. Genuinely kind and caring. I felt I had entered a forgotten era of service once I was inside, the spell only to be broken once I left the next morning. I simply can't wait for an excuse to revisit Portland. This experience will be repeated as soon as possible. Thank you to the team that made my stay perfect

I have a few observations to share about this hotel. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The issues I had with this hotel is that there really isn't an area for guests to sit outside, such as a patio or pool area or even a nice, indoor area with comfortable chairs. The rooms do not have balconies. The pool that is pictured is only able to be used during your three-hour scheduled thermal spa time (which is an extra fee). The picture of the pool on their site makes it appear that it is an area that can be used by all hotel guests. It should be stated clearly that the pool is not able to be accessed by hotel guests other than during your spa reservation time. There was really no where to go other than the lobby that consisted of benches and tables in a tiered setting and my room.||The mattress, in my opinion, was not luxurious or very comfortable for a brand new hotel. There is only one chair at the desk to sit on. The headboard has a lit up panel on each side to operate the lights and curtains above a teeny, tiny shelf that might fit a bottle of water. Cool idea except when you want it to be dark when you go to sleep! The bathroom sink top has very little space to set any toiletries. The TV only had 20 local channels with old reruns. But - there is a large refrigerator and freezer, small dishwasher and washer and dryer!! There is also a nice weight room and cardio room. The area where this hotel is located is rather run down so a hotel in this price range seems oddly located in this area.

A Hidden Wellness Gem in Portland — Luxury, Comfort & Impeccable Detail I recently discovered Cascada while in Oregon, searching for a place to rest and integrate after a beautiful retreat in nature. What I found was beyond my expectations — a thoughtfully designed sanctuary of wellness, luxury, and nourishment nestled in the heart of the city. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by warm, welcoming staff and a serene, calming atmosphere. The attention to detail throughout the entire space is truly exceptional. My studio room was not only beautifully designed, but also incredibly functional — with clever storage, a fully stocked kitchenette, and even a full-size refrigerator (a rare and much-appreciated feature!). As a chef and nutritionist, I was especially impressed by the in-room amenities: a hot water kettle, dishes, silverware, and healthy snack options — even a few fun games for a cozy night in. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the thermal springs. I spent time in the cold plunge and sauna circuit, which was a grounding and rejuvenating experience. I had forgotten sandals, but of course, Cascada had thought of that — they were already provided in the room along with a plush, high-quality robe. I also loved the no-talking policy in the wellness area — it allowed me to truly drop into stillness and hear myself think. After my spa session, I dined at Terra Mae, their in-house restaurant. The atmosphere was vibrant and elegant, and the staff was extremely accommodating with my dietary needs. There were beautiful vegan and vegetarian options, and everything was fresh, nourishing, and delicious. There is a coffee bar on site that has a ton of snack and meal options for grab and go convenience as well. I’m also excited to hear that they’ll be opening a juice bar soon and expanding their wellness offerings even more. For guests who forget any activewear or clothing, they also have a curated retail area with essentials available. I’ll be returning at the end of July and without a doubt, Cascada will be my home base for rest, relaxation, and total well-being. Portland is lucky to have such a gem.

Cascada is the perfect place to unwind—clean, calming, restorative, and thoughtfully built. The Sanctuary experience was incredible, with hot and cold pools, steam, and sauna all in a peaceful underground setting. Dylan was SO kind and welcoming, she made my first time experience worth coming back alone! I loved the mix of quiet, restorative spaces downstairs and the sunlit, plant-filled Conservatory and Thermal Springs upstairs for a more social vibe. You can really tailor your visit to whatever your body or mood needs that day. Everything felt high-quality, I can’t wait to return!

Visited the thermal springs and the secret garden for the first time. This place is well-designed, comfortable, clean, quiet, and excellent. Four pools, plus dry sauna and steam, on the lower silent level, then a big, bright social pool one flight up. The pool has comfy lounge beds and chairs and an outdoor space. Beyond that, the secret garden has a fire pit, another sauna, a rainfall shower and another hot tub, all social. In short, you can spend your whole three hour stay wet, comfy, and still hang out with your people. Loved it!

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!
