In ancient Greece and Rome, public bathhouses were large, extravagant places where people would lounge in various water pools to cleanse themselves and cure their ailments. This Spanish import aims to bring the traditional bath experience to New York in the first overseas location of its luxury bathhouse minichain. The basement level of the gigantic three-story space houses the spacious, open room of baths, which consist of hot, cold, saltwater and multijet pools alongside steam and hot-stone rooms where you can lounge for up to two hours ($75), or pay extra for luxuries like massages, baths infused with olive oil or a facial.

Here’s just a few of the best ways to take full advantage of chilly weather and spend your days inside, relaxing.
