$39 for a Bathhouse Visit with Drinks for Two ($149 Value)

Each guest gets a full day in the co-ed facility's saunas and pools on four floors and the rooftop (a $70 value/person), and one drink of kvas or kombucha (up to a $4.50 value/person). Archimedes Banya aspires to mix the bathing practices of several cultures and time periods to create a social bathing environment that is restorative to both body and mind.

Please see clothing guidelines here, as parts of the spa are clothing optional.

Archimedes Banya

During the summer of 1970, Moscow State University math student Mikhail Brodsky traveled to the Konda River in Western Siberia to log trees. While there, he visited his first banya—a public Russian bathhouse—and tried Siberian steam bathing. He became enamored of the practice, but didn't get to experience it again until visiting another Siberian town four years later. He soon started traveling throughout the world to study all the baths and hot springs he could find, earning the nickname Archimedes—for the ancient Greek mathematician—due to his habit of helping bathhouse staff members solve problems.

After moving to California, Mikhail decided to open his own bathhouse. Though design and construction took 12 years, he and a group of international friends finally opened Archimedes Banya, a coed public bathhouse that blends the aesthetics and traditions of Greek, Turkish, German, and Russian bathhouses with modern amenities. Spa staffers usher guests into steamy hardwood saunas and cold swimming pools on four themed floors, each decked out in warm cream-colored tiles or cool blue and silver accents. Deck chairs populate the rooftop patio, where visitors take in views of the bay and excise any remaining stress by screaming at boats. In private spa rooms, therapists knead guests' muscles during Russian platza massages and soak them in natural herb and mineral baths. The bathhouse and its restaurant stay open as late as midnight on weekends.

  • Save: Lets you save your work for future generations of computers to read and laugh at
  • Open: Lets you access a previously saved document to add cool new ideas you dreamed up last night
  • Undo: Erases your most recent mistake—or confessed forbidden desire—so that no one will ever know you typed it
  • Redo: Drags the truth of your secret failings back into the harsh light of the monitor
  • Copy: Lets you copy the work of a more experienced writer, usually by inserting multiple paragraph excerpts of more obscure David Foster Wallace essays
  • Properties: It’s never too early to start looking at these helpful real estate listings in your area.
  • Print: Makes a real-life ink-and-paper copy of your document for you to throw away later

What do all those fancy buttons on your computer do?
