Come on it's a relaxing old school place. Lucky for Denver fo have this place, yes it needs some updating, yes a variety of people go to this place (dont like that, stay home in your own bathtub), no this is not a gay bathhouse, all walks of life come here, enjoy, converse, & enjoy the steam. Mgmt is attentitive to its guests.…
Nice but creepy. "We Consider Lake Steam to be a Family Spa. Please report any misconduct." So says a sign hanging prominently in the common area at Lake Steam. And, on men's days, you can see why. Despite its old-world appearance, this spa seems to be a market for gay dudes looking to hook up. It makes it quite uncomfortable for legitimate users to enjoy the services while disturbing behavior occurs a few feet away. The management needs to enforce its rules--especially the one about "no body contact"--and make it a straight-friendly spa. I recommend Sunday mornings early (6:00), when old-school heat therapy takes place before the annoying presence of the gay culture enters. Here's hoping Lake Steam gets its act together the rest of the time.…
Editorial Review. Since 1927, loyalists have flocked to this venerable Lakewood spa touting steam baths, soap scrubs, massages, and whirlpool Jacuzzis.
Old Fashioned Spritz. This spa is unlike any I've ever been to and has it's own special charm. One must go on either the all men or all women days of the week - I'm a Monday & Thursday gal. I love the price ($9.50) that allows you to stay as long as you want. The steam room with eucalyptus oil is a huge help in the cold and dry Denver winters. The hot tub is big, roomy and hot. I usually have one of the gals that do the body scrubs do their thing (for additional $ - they are independent contractors). You get your locker, your sheet, your tiny handtowel, and away you go. Massage appointments are available. I've not tried the Massage therapy services, the body scrubs are like a quick all over 15 minute massage that feels great and exfoliates at the same time.…
