In Montreal, we’re very busy, and sometimes it’s hard to slow down for a moment, to take the time to relax while staring into space, to take care of ourselves—so we can get back to it with renewed energy and slightly softer skin.
It’s spring, and honestly, that’s the only excuse we need to make a list ofthe best spas in Montreal. We’re already dreaming of fluffy robes, ice-cold baths, and scorching saunas…
In the fall of 2025,Recess opened asocial bath inMontreal, in the post-industrial Griffintown neighborhood,in partnership with Aesop. Asocial bath islike a spa,but a little cooler. And the Recess thermal station is very, very cool.
With clean lines, soft lighting, and avibe reminiscent ofa 1970s experimental film,the relaxation brought on by the hot-and-cold contrast of the social bath invites meditation.
The circuit at the urban thermal spa,Freeflow, lasts about 75 minutes and moves from a sauna to a hot bath, and on to a meditation and breathing exercise room.Recess describes it as a “new ritual for urban life.”
