Archimedes Banya is a large Russian-style bathhouse in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, with two Russian saunas heated to 170-210 degrees F, a Turkish hammam steam room, a cold plunge, and pools inside a facility with heated floors and custom temperature controls. It is open most days from noon to 11pm, with earlier 10am weekend hours, plus themed women's and men's evenings each month. Bathing areas are shared communal space by default, with a separate private-event buyout available for groups.

It does not publish a plunge temperature (2 of the 23 San Francisco studios we track do) — worth asking when you book. Communal access puts it with 5 of the 23 studios we track here; the rest run a different model.
