Our Story
The story begins in 2012, inside a Russian Banya at an off-grid facility in Portland, Oregon. The experience was nothing short of a powerful outflow of endorphins rushing through the body after rounds of sauna and cold plunge — an unforgettable night that left a lasting impression. There’s something about the rush of cold immersion—the endorphins, the adrenaline, and the feeling of accomplishment—that keeps you coming back for more.
Years later, the same passion was reignited during a visit to a commercial bathhouse in Washington State. From that point forward, the practice of sauna and cold plunge became more than a ritual — it became a way of life, with private setups built at home to keep the tradition alive.
When the Queen City became home in 2021, it was clear that Charlotte had not yet been introduced to this culture. The vision emerged: create a space where people could gather, connect, and experience the timeless benefits of heat and cold together. From that vision, Sunday Hot Springs was born — bringing the bathhouse tradition to Charlotte for the very first time.
This is who we are.

Sunday Hot Springs is a wellness center offering a high-end, holistic experience designed to support both mental and physical well-being. We believe wellness should be accessible to everyone, and that taking time to care for yourself is an essential part of living a healthy, balanced life.
At Sunday, we strive to treat everyone who walks through our doors with exceptional care. We’ve created a space where people can slow down, reset, and reconnect — with themselves and with the community around them.
More than a place to relax, Sunday is a place to experience the benefits of intentional rest and recovery and carry that feeling into everyday life. We believe that when people feel better, they live better — and when people live better, communities thrive.
