Alchemist Bathhouse: Sauna, Steam, Cold Plunge, Hot Tub
Alchemist Bathhouse is your serene city escape in the heart of South Austin. Complete with PRIVATE spa + bathhouse amenities, this sanctuary invites trusted guests to indulge in the delights of doing nothing, all within a 5 mins drive of Austin's iconic bars/eateries. Our thoughtfully designed bathhouse offers outdoor showers, cedar soaking tubs (heated + cold plunge), a cedar barrel sauna, plush linens/robes, a digital concierge + complimentary spa rituals, snacks + yoga mats + home theater.
The space We created ALCHEMIST BATHHOUSE as a living sanctuary—designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself. Inspired by our roots in Asia where bathhouses are a sacred ritual of restoration, we infused this space with Feng Shui, intention, and ancestral practices that nurture the body, mind, and soul. A place to simply breathe again. Namaste.
THE BACKYARD — Your Private Wellness Oasis
Step outside into a healing haven: • A handcrafted 4-person cedar barrel sauna • A hot + cold cedar plunge tub (1–2 person) • A serene outdoor shower beneath the sky • Two classic rocking chairs for fireside conversations or post-sauna stillness
Designed for rituals. Built for transformation.
THE LIVING ROOM — Zen Meets Cinema
Unwind with the ultimate home theater experience: • 70” Smart TV • Premium Klipsch Dolby Atmos surround system (floorstanding speakers, center channel, subwoofer + rear) • Plush sofa seating for 3–4 • Light incense with our Walden holder and drift into deep presence, meditation, or a dreamy movie night
THE ENTRY — Leave the World Behind
Step inside, and let the outside dissolve. Slip into soft indoor slippers—an invitation to slow down. Leave your shoes, and the weight of the day, at the door. Place your phone in the green detox box, a quiet reminder to disconnect from noise and reconnect with presence.
Then simply say, “Alexa, turn on the living room light.”The warm glow rises gently—welcoming you into your first moment of stillness.
THE DINING ROOM — Where Nourishment Becomes Ritual
• Spacious table perfect for slow meals, journaling, or tea ceremonies • Seats up to 4 comfortably—ideal for connection over food or conversation • A beautiful flow from kitchen to dining to backyard—inviting you to linger, not rush
PRIMARY SUITE — Sleep Like You Mean It • King-size Casper mattress with ultra-soft cotton-linen sheets • Room-darkening curtains to lull you into deep rest • Curated for restoration—mind, body, and spine
SECOND BEDROOM — Work From Zen • Trundle bed: twin or king, your call • Standing desk with dual monitor setup + ergonomic chair • Designed for remote work without burnout
FULL BATH — The Ritual Continues • Soaking tub/shower combo • Double vanity + mirrored storage • Thoughtfully stocked with everything: Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, makeup wipes, Q-tips, cotton rounds, and more
