Hi Austin local folks,
Is anybody aware of public sauna/hamam in Austin or suburbs? We really missed this kind of health treat when we moved out of California, and people over here seems don't how great it is...
What I could only find here - some sauna-boxes 3x3 feet with no shower etc. Which is definitely not what I'd like to visit.

If you heard about any - please share, I'll really appreciate it!

Can you please show a link to a picture of what you are talking about? I've never seen a sauna (dry heat) with a shower. Steam room, yes, but not sauna...

Oh, I was probably wrong in my description

What I mean - here in Austin there are many places where you come in and get access to the tiny cubicle with electric oven inside. After the period of time you paid for - you are on your own. Sometimes they give you wet napkins lol

What I'm looking for - is a Facility. Ideally it has one or too sauna/hamam rooms for more that 4 people, as well as it has another room (usually large enough) where you have many shower cabins, one or two pools etc, and you have a room where you can get rest and drink some beverage.

These kind of facilities are pretty common in the middle East, in Eastern Europe and Japan.

The ideal one, which is probably the best experience for me - Tokyo Odaiba Onsen (just in case somebody is interested in it):

These are most common on the east coast, NY/NJ especially, and on the west coast. I would bet Houston would have one because Houston has everything. I don't know of any in central Texas that are open to the public.

What you want is King Spa in Dallas!

Houston doesn't have one but Dallas does.
