Bathhouse has officially opened a sprawling 36,000-square-foot facility at The Bellevue in Philadelphia. The new wellness venue occupies the basement space formerly held by Tiffany and Co.
Why it matters
The opening marks a major expansion for the brand, which first launched its unique model of communal bathing and contrast therapy in Williamsburg, New York, in 2019. This location introduces the company's signature mix of saunas and pools to the Philadelphia market.
The new facility spans 36,000sq ft within the basement of The Bellevue, a building with history dating back to 1904. The space replaces the footprint previously occupied by a Tiffany and Co. store.
