Totally peaceful and relaxing experience the location is off the beaten track so you have to look for it. But once you're inside you're in another world we had a hot stone massage, very soothing and calming. You'll want to use the valet parking since it is hard to find parking. My favorite was the cinnamon steam room, it was the hottest and the cold plunge outside the room was a great way to cool off too. This is truly an experience to enjoy more than once

Was gifted an experience, and found it to be thoroughly rejuvenating. The outside of the building doesn't look like much, but the minute you walk through the doors, you immediately know you are in for something unique and transcending. The staff is extremely attentive, and the Greco Roman decor absolutely stunning. Blue baths of varying temperatures, stone work lit up with hundreds of candles, spanning arches, heated marble decks, steam room, salt water float pool, pool with waterfall exposed to outside air, expansive whirlpool, water/tea stations and juice menu. Secure locker rooms outfitted with personal amenities help you prepare to get back into the real world, although AIRE is so sensational you won't want to go back to it! This is a great spot for friends, family members and couples. My daughter and I enjoyed a couples massage after our bath experience, but were divided by a curtained glass wall, which provided ample privacy. If you are looking for a way to get your zen back, AIRE is the perfect place to find it!

My husband and I flew to Chicago specifically to visit AIRE Ancient Baths for our 13th wedding anniversary. I had previously visited in April with friends and absolutely loved the experience, which is why I was excited to return and pamper my husband with the Love Connection 90 service — a 90-minute couples massage and thermal bath experience. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. After spending over 90 minutes in the thermal baths, I asked an attendant when our massages would begin because I didn’t want to miss our service. We were told we were “next” and would start in about five minutes. However, when we were finally brought back, we were placed in separate rooms instead of a couples room as booked. The massages started late and ended early — not our fault, as they were clearly running behind — and the quality of the massages themselves was subpar. When checking out, I asked the receptionist if it was normal to be separated for the Love Connection service. She apologized and confirmed it was not normal, saying she would leave my appointment open for a manager to contact me. The service took place on October 11, and after hearing nothing by October 20, I followed up via email. I received a quick response that my message was being passed to a manager, but now it’s October 24 and I still haven’t heard back. As a spa owner myself, I hesitate to leave negative reviews, but this was a truly disappointing experience — especially given the cost and how highly this spa is rated. The lack of communication and follow-through afterward only added to the frustration. Sadly, I don’t think we’d return or recommend it, which is unfortunate considering how wonderful my first visit was earlier this year.

This spa was an amazing experience. It’s a bit pricey, but perfect for a romantic evening or a relaxing escape. The space has a beautiful Greek/Roman bath feel, with not only multiple steam rooms infused with scents like eucalyptus and lavender, but also luxurious bathing spa baths to soak and unwind. There’s a cold plunge, relaxing massages available by appointment, and they even provide bathing suits if you need them. Lockers and toiletries are included, which makes it very convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful, indulgent experience.

My experience at Aire Ancient Baths Spa was amazing from start to finish — easy, serene, and completely relaxing. The atmosphere was so peaceful, and the “whisper only” rule really helped maintain a calm, soothing vibe throughout the space. My massage with Gene was incredible — perfect pressure and exactly what I needed. And the cold plunge inside the steam room? Freakin’ AWESOME! Highly recommend treating yourself here.
