Breathing new life into the ancient tradition of Greek and Roman bath houses, Aire Ancient Baths is a singular spa experience in Chicago. The awe-inspiring space, which is built inside an old factory in River West, is like a hidden bunker designed for peaceful retreats. Once inside—and with an appointment—guests can enjoy numerous baths of different temperatures and indulge in spa treatments called “rituals.”
Aire offers an array of these rituals designed for you to melt into your surroundings. Soft candlelight and the scent of orange blossom transform the air into a true oasis, where the silence is broken only by the gentle murmur of water. There's no shortage of paths you can take at Aire: immerse yourself in the thermal baths, float weightlessly across the pools or book a specialized experience like a massage or an argan foam ritual.
One of the most decadent options is The Signature Wine Experience. Designed for two, this ritual is a nod to the luxury and vineyards of the Mediterranean. You will delight in a detoxifying 15-minute exfoliation and a 60-minute massage with grapeseed oil in an exclusive couple's room, transporting your mind to paradise while your body benefits from the treatment's purifying and invigorating effects. Fortunately, deep pockets are not required to enjoy the spoils of Aire—they offer experiences for every price point, all with guaranteed relaxation.
