CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel

This is by far one of the best hotels that I have ever stayed in!! My husband and I visited last weekend just to unwind and relax for a bit and boy was this the right place to go. From their excellent staff to the amazing facilities this was by far a weekend to remember! The beds were very comfortable, I loved how the rooms were laid out with a little kitchenette, which came in handy. And what a cool neighborhood that this hotel is based out of. We had an endless assortment of bars and restaurants to choose from in the immediate location of the hotel. The yoga class that we took on Sunday morning was very rejuvenated for us. We will definitely be back and will bring friends with us. Thank you, Cascada.

The curated experience at the Cascada is worth the trip and Portland overall was a delicious break into a very loving and inclusive city in beautiful Spring bloom! |Yummy and comfy beds with great linens and blankets and robes! This hip New hotel is really focused on the details! They are completing even more spa and eating options! In the mean time the beautiful and professional Spa manager and Charming General Manager were on the property overseeing the details. GO VISIT! It would make a great date overnight and an even better girls weekend! Even the location is great. Close to everything we wanted in the heart of the city including great shopping and resturants in a funky arts neighborhood. I almost never write reviews that is how much we enjoyed our weekend!

First time but it won’t be our last. We celebrated our anniversary tonight with a start at the thermal spa and followed it up with dinner at Terra Mae. 10/10 experience. The attention to detail and service was excellent. Hostesses were attentive and friendly. Colby, the GM at the restaurant stopped by our table and was super personable and a joy to meet. Our server Nikki was a rockstar. Highly recommend the hand rolled dumplings! Congrats to Kavita and Brian and all the staff on their obvious labor of love. Alberta district is lucky to have Cascada in their neighborhood and Portlanders shouldn’t hesitate to experience the wonders and Zen of Cascada.

I was really excited when my husband gifted me this spa experience, and I was touched by his thoughtful gesture. However, my visit didn’t quite meet the expectations of luxury I had in mind. The bathrooms, for instance, were far from clean. It felt more like being in a basic athletic club rather than a high-end spa—there was hair everywhere and dust in several spots. For the price you're paying, you'd expect everything to be spotless. The pools were also a disappointment. While sitting on one of the benches, I couldn't shake the feeling that the water wasn't properly maintained—there was something off about the cleanliness. Additionally, the experience was supposed to last three hours of soaking, but due to my low blood pressure, I can’t stay in hot water for long periods. After about an hour, I started feeling dizzy and asked if I could use the elevator to go upstairs, as I had seen someone else using it earlier. The staff member I spoke to asked me to wait, which made me uncomfortable since I was already feeling faint. Thankfully, my husband was there to support me, and I managed to find a chair on my own. It would have been much more considerate for the staff member to help me get seated while I waited, instead of leaving me standing. Honestly, if you're charging premium prices, maintaining cleanliness should be a top priority, and having a staff member more attentive to guests’ needs would go a long way in making the experience truly special.

This review is for the thermal springs only. While I enjoyed my experience overall, there is a lot of room for improvement. For the price, I would rate my experience 7/10. For me, I spent the majority of time in the underground sanctuary. While upstairs in the conservatory there’s herbal tea available, downstairs there is only still water. Getting out of the pools to climb a flight of stairs for tea was not relaxing. Compared to a similar spa in town - and a higher price tag - I would want herbal tea available downstairs as well as other options (sparkling, infused). I only saw glimpses of attendants while I was in the underground sanctuary, and no attendants in the upstairs conservatory. It would be nice for attendants to be visible and present and for there to be more opportunities for cleaning up. Other guests left towels strewn about and the forgotten towels stayed for my entire visit. I also preferred the feel and scent of the products at a similar spa in town. The other spa also has a body scrub which felt nice and luxurious. Cascada has potential, but right now for me it’s not the clear winning spa in Portland, considering the higher price.

In celebration of a friends birthday, we enjoyed a staycation that exceeded expectations and offered a unique vantage point of the city. The room (we stayed in the Sky Loft) was very accommodating and thoughtfully designed. The thermal springs offerings are plentiful, 3 hours offering enough to for us to chill and completely relax. The fitness center leaves nothing to be desired. The coffee available in the lobby is great! All the stars!

I had a fantastic experience at Cascada! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was calm, welcoming, and truly centered around wellness. I took a yoga class during my stay and was impressed — the instructor was knowledgeable and encouraging, creating an excellent environment for beginners and more experienced yogis. Another highlight was the thermal springs' soaking pools. They are so magnificent! They’re beautifully maintained and offer different temperatures. I’ll definitely be back.

Not the best spot for a social gathering, as talking isn't allowed in the main spa area where everything except the big pool, the social area, is located. I appreciate that spas generally promote a quiet, relaxing atmosphere; that's part of what I enjoy about it. This was the first time I'd experienced a large spa where even whispering was discouraged. I visited with three friends, and while we wanted to take our time moving through the amenities, the inability to interact really impacted the experience. We noticed other groups also sitting silently. It was a bit awkward and ultimately, we left much earlier than planned. The space itself is great. Clean, well-maintained, with friendly staff. The fitness class we took was great too. Overall, the silence policy just wasn't a fit for our social gathering. If you enjoy a (almost) completely silent spa experience, this place would be a great choice.

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!
