Mermaid Spa, located in the Seagate neighborhood of South Brooklyn, has a reputation for being the best Russian bathhouse in New York and has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and New Yorker magazine. The bathhouse has three Russian steam rooms, a dry sauna, Turkish bath, two ice-water pools, a Jacuzzi, and several other relaxing amenities inside a lodge-like wooden hall. You can also book a traditional ‘platza’ service which involves a whole-body massage using a birch ‘venik.’ “We wanted to create an environment that was similar to an authentic Russian bathhouse, or ‘banya.’ Marble is cold, so we used wood and centuries old techniques for generating the highest quality steam, so you can get a true Russian ‘banya’ experience.” — Zina and Boris Kotlyar and Joseph Feldsherov, Mermaid Spa Owners

The entire facility is finished with wood and slate. Owners Zina and Boris Kotlyar, Joseph Feldsherov say they wanted to create an environment that was similar to an old style banya in Russia.
