The Schvitz Health Club

A Timeless Escape: 10/10 The Schvitz is hands down my favorite place to decompress and recharge. There’s something timeless about its old-school charm, traditional spa treatments, and unbelievable food that sets it apart from modern spas. I love that they offer women-only and men-only days, which make for a peaceful, private experience. The co-op days are fantastic, too—they let me bring all my friends, both women and men, for an amazing time together. We hang out, relax, and enjoy the space in a way that feels so genuine and fun. Whether you’re there for some solo self-care or a group hangout, The Schvitz delivers every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax, reconnect, and experience a slice of timeless heaven on earth

Recent renovations are nice - the new kitchen menu is very cozy and yummy. Staff is always very kind and helpful. Facilities are clean and spacious. I’ve attended both women only and all gender hours, both have felt comfortable. One of the best, if not the best, sauna experiences in Detroit for the real sauna-ers :-)

Intimate little bathhouse in Detroit. Great spot to go and relax alone, in a group or for a date night. Check the hours as they do have men’s, women’s and coed hours set. You can bring your own robe and sandals but they also have some available for rent. They also have large lockers available to store your stuff for free. I felt safe storing my stuff but bring your own lock if concerned about your valuables. It is a smaller bathhouse so can get packed quickly. Especially the women’s locker room, I’d bring an extra mirror if you’re expecting to go full glam after. Down stairs you have a cold plunge pool, sauna, steam room and showers. Unfortunately, the dry sauna was out of order when we went therefore the steam room was packed. I’m assuming there’s more space on days when everything is functioning. Plenty of seating areas downstairs by the cold plunge pool. We took advantage of the more private seating areas upstairs and had some tea before departing. Overall, a great experience! We will be back soon!

Driving here you would have driven past it several times without realizing where it was. The building and neighborhood is very unassuming, but when you walk in the place transforms. Every detail from the posters in the locker room, the furniture and displays in the smokers room and the floor title throughout give great history to this place. I’ve been during women’s hours on Sundays and Tuesdays and had the best time in such a sacred space with other women. My friend who frequents has gone during co-ed as well and said it’s also enjoyable. I recommend everyone try it out and let go of their stress, their anxieties, and let themselves freely be their true self and relax in either sauna. All of the massage therapists, Schvitz staff, and platza staff are extremely welcoming. I hope this place is around for generations more.

Excellent - worth a visit! Historic bath house in downtown Detroit. Bring flip flops/shower shoes!

Amazing place! So relaxing and special. Well worth the price because you can stay as long as you like. Both of the saunas were very relaxing and the cold pool was energizing. I was worried about it being crowded but we went around 4:30 and it wasn't super busy. Met a lot of nice people.

Love the experience. While the outside makes it a well hidden gem. Which is why I like it. The service their is great. Both steam rooms are nice, and the cold pool is good. The atmosphere is relaxing, and pricing is great.

The Schvitz Health Club provided top tier service from arrival to departure!! The personal care received from all of the staff was bar none unequivocally 5-star!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
