Archimedes Banya is the first truly international banya in Northern California, offering a multicultural urban bath, sauna and spa experience as historically practiced in many Western and Eastern civilizations.

On the fine line between kitsch and tradition sits Archimedes Banya. Steam yourself in the two traditional Russian saunas , relax with a drink in the soaking pools and finish off with a Platza massage . Read more
Multi-story labyrinthian layout. Russian saunas are large but could be hotter. Clothing is optional in every part of the public areas (despite signs indicating otherwise ???? ????). Food and drink on site
The real deal. Clean and new, good steam, whirlpool , and sauna facilities. Reasonably priced. I tried the oak leave massage and it was intense. Worth the trip
You are transported to Surreal Russia. A+++ can't recommend enough. Get the "birch whisk" and body thwack accordingly :))
Russian sauna , Finnish sauna , Turkish sauna , freezing pool, chilled pool, jacuzzi , veniki, and a restaurant with a BYOB policy.
first and best banya i've been to in the city so far. sauna is mighty hot, cold plunge is mighty cold. $30 for a day pass.
Make sure you make your way to the top for some smoked fish and blintzes and beer .
Treat yourself to a fresh coconut after you spa - it's the perfect way to end your session.
Great steam, piroshki, and beer . Pineapple kumbucha is delicious
They now have a basic selection of beer and wine for purchase in their cafe .
The best part of this place was the sauna , steam bath, hot tub and cold plunge area. The massages were okay but too ordinary for what they charge. The food in the cafeteria was unimpressive and cold.
The mini bar is just do good after be relaxed by the baths !!
Great place to relax . Highly recommend getting a hamam scrub.
Treat yourself to the premium package and try all the services. You won't be disappointed
Get the delicious solyanka in the cafeteria !
Great Russian Banya, roof deck , bar , good food and reasonably priced.
Two hours here at the end of my day fully recharges me for the next week. So relaxing!
The view from the roof deck at night is wonderful.
So lovely! Free on your birthday!
Get the salyanka soup at the bar .
A nice relaxing atmosphere .
Amazing hidden gem .
All of the saunas and steam rooms !
They don't have alcohol license yet. So you can bring your own :)
Best Russian Banya in this area
Great relaxing date day
Wonderful experience
Nice, but waaaay too crowded
Great way to spend the day soaking and steaming away the day's stresses. I love the eucalyptus steam room and the cold plunge pool.
horrible place and awful neighborhood
Баня. Отличная русская баня . В СФ????
$90 treatment is so worth it. You'll leave so fresh and clean. Bring cash for tipping. - Bommy
You must get the scrub and massage. You'll leave soft and clean all over. Also take advantage of the sauna rooms and jacuzzi. - Jessica Chiang
Cool speakeasy style bar with a big booth room and a large table room for big groups. The beer is awesome. Take a tour if you can. Funny and you get a pint glass and beer flight. - Scott Perket
Try the Fried Brussel Sprouts - great place! food was great - and came out so quickly!! - anjelika
