Lake Steam Baths
3540 W Colfax Ave, Denver, CO80204
Details last checked
Lake Steam Baths has operated as a nude Russian banya at 3540 W Colfax Ave since 1927, which makes it far older than the rest of Denver's cold-exposure scene and a different proposition entirely: a multi-level cedar sauna with steam baths, a hot tub and a dedicated cold plunge. Bathing is communal and single-sex, with women using the baths on Mondays and Thursdays and men on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; the operator publishes no co-ed days at all. Admission is a $32 day pass for unlimited access. No sauna or plunge temperature is published.
How it compares in Denver
It does not publish a plunge temperature (7 of the 30 Denver studios we track do) — worth asking when you book. Communal access puts it with 18 of the 30 studios we track here; the rest run a different model.
