Why is Aire Chicago famous?
Originally hailing from Seville, Spain, the Aire Experience is inspired by ancient bathing rituals from the Roman, Greek, and Ottoman civilizations. Escaping to one of its cavernous spaces is like stepping into an otherworldly retreat, the frenzy of the city streets quickly becoming a distant memory. Drawing on this notion, Aire Ancient Baths launched its first bathing facility in Seville, Spain in 2000, taking inspiration from the best of Greek, Roman and Ottoman traditions. Today, it has a portfolio of eight urban locations in the US, Copenhagen and Spain and has just opened in London, UK.The use of swimwear is compulsory in our installations. Aire Ancient Bath is a smoke-free zone. No outside food or beverage is permitted into AIRE. All bath sessions are co-ed and bathing suits are mandatory for all guests.The AIRE Ultimate Bath Experience is designed to be the perfect escape for mind and body relaxation.
