Entry No. 44 — the Minneapolis file — filed under: bathhouse

Watershed Spa

This subterranean communal bathhouse breaks from traditional spa earth tones with vibrant neon colors and a seven-part bathing ritual. It features a frigid cold plunge, steam room, and warm pool set beneath a glowing projection wall of cosmic and nature scenes.

The move: Book a 2.5-hour communal bath session together, cycle through the hot-and-cold contrast therapy, and then lay side-by-side on the lower level watching the neon-lit cosmic projection wall curated by a local hypnotherapist.
