Get your Pulse Racing
Stylish, upmarket European-style Steam Bath venue in the heart of the Gay Village in Cape Town.
The HOTHOUSE offers more than what you’d expect from a steambath. You're spoilt for choice on what to do – you can enjoy hot, cold, wet, dry, food, drink, TV, sun and everything in between. See our full list on the Venue page. The sundeck has the most spectacular views over the harbour, downtown and Table Mountain.
Whether it’s a hot summer day or a rainy winter one, with close to 1000m2 to play in, you’re bound to find something to blow up your skirt - it's even been described that the HOTHOUSE is a mind-blowing experience.
Hotter than Ever
After more than 11 years the HOTHOUSE is still rated as one of the best sauna’s in the world. Cape Town has seen it’s fair share of sauna’s come and go throughout the years, but the Hothouse remains the only one to have stood the test of time.
Last, but not least, our friendly staff will ensure that you always have a pleasant time.
The staff and management of the HOTHOUSE are dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle for men in a clean, safe and comfortable environment. Management reserves the Right of Entry.
