The Russian Sauna Room at Downtown Banya

When we set out to build the Russian sauna room we knew that no detail could be overlooked neither any expense spared. This is when we hired a third generation stove-maker, called up the Canadians for the most proper and the absolute best cobble stone available and meticulously searched for the wood most fit and tile most suitable. Finally and upon completion, we diligently and anxiously tested the final product. After a few moments and various occasions of intense pleasure and satisfaction, we screamed OooorrRRaahH!! (Russian slang) then celebrated and decided to tell of it to all. This sauna room is what truly makes the Banya. We guarantee you will not experience anything like it in the greater Seattle area.

The temperature inside the stove alone rises well over an already astonishing 800 degrees Fahrenheit! As for the sauna room itself, temperatures range between 185–200 degrees, and have stayed this way 24 hours a day for the last few years, constantly and continually hot with no compromise. This keeps the environment of the sauna at a quality that is insurmountable, and because the humidity inside the room is virtually identical to normal indoor environments, breathing is made very easy and exceedingly enjoyable.

We are not liable nor hold any responsibility for the consequences of overtly extended, prolonged and unexpected late night stays due to excessive levels of comfort and pleasure while staying at the Banya.
