AIRE Ancient Baths: Urban Oasis in Chicago

What a truly beautiful and relaxing space. I've been to similar spas all over the world (not AIRE), and this one by far had THE best service from the Staff. The bathrooms/changing areas were clean and easy to navigate. I do wish the mirror + hair area was a bit bigger.. there were only two stations and a bunch of us women crowded around it. The bathing suit dryer was an amazing touch, so youre not carrying a sopping wet suit out with you. The baths themselves were lovely and I enjoyed the circuit. Unfortunately it seemed like the steam rooms were not up to par that day because there wasn't that much steam (other friends who have gone here before said that wasn't the case for them). I really enjoyed the outdoor waterfall and the heated marble slabs. The float pool was amazing but I do wish it was bigger so that people could spread out more. The lighting everywhere was perfect, and the juices available were tasty. Water and tea are complimentary.

What a great experience! If you are looking to treat yourself, or want to celebrate a special occasion with a friend, you should check this spot out! Aire offers different temperature baths and scented steam rooms along with multiple cold plunge baths. It was not easy, but I did the cold plunge several times and it felt great! It’s expensive, but worth it! I wanted to get a massage, but they were booked. Friendly staff. Delicious juice shots! My favorite bath was one with an indoor/ outdoor option featuring an outdoor waterfall that did a great job massaging my shoulders. Built in what used to be a paint factory, this space is truly unique & special. Check it out!

An absolute must try!!! I've had many massage but nothing comes close to my experience at AIRE from the moment I pulled up to the Valet the much needed pampering began. The entrance is in the alley which gave a feeling of mystery. The moment I stepped through the door I felt transported into serenity I was greeted by the friendliest staff who immediately offered tea and water and an explanation of my services. The many different pools, ice baths and salt baths and 90 massage were amazing. And who knew I like Rose 🍾 and truffles. Very intimate setting I almost felt like I had the place to myself. The fresh juice was so refreshing. Everything you need is provided including hair products, blow dryers and flat irons so you can leave feeling and looking fabulous. Great place worth every penny!

This place is amazing! Not only is it relaxing, calming and peaceful it’s smells great. Had candles everywhere that set a relaxing mood, and the employees who tend to you are lovely. Philippe the manager I spoke with was exceedingly kind and helpful in addressing my special requests. They were very accommodating of my disabilities. I was so impressed with the experience at the bath house that we canceled our massages at the four seasons hotel, and came back here twice in four days! It’s that good. Do yourself a favor and if you’re visiting Chicago make a two hour stop and kick off your trip right.

We received a gift certificate from friends for this location. The massage was quite good and the baths were nice to relax for in one hour. Was very good but what I personally pay $580 for two people to come here.? Definitely not very nice but way way overpriced.
