Denver has an old bathhouse that has been around since the thirties. It has a hottub that feels like a habernero pepper, a gigantic dry heat steam room that has ancient wooden benches and a huge metal oven door that lets heat flow into the building. There's a eculyptus room that is full of steam. There also dressing rooms which breathe with a kitschy luxury. There are plants, posters from MoMa, a few mirrors, mosiacs, hand made signs. I ate a delicious egg salad sandwich in the cafe and drank a cherry seltzer that tasted like jello. It's a mix of tradition, comfortableness and relaxation.
