About this place Sauna Thermas Botafogo

Sauna Thermas Botafogo is Rio de Janeiro's well-established gay sauna, located in Botafogo — the neighbourhood between the beach districts of the Zona Sul and the city centre, served by metro and well-positioned relative to both Ipanema and Centro. The venue operates in the established Rio gay sauna format: locker and cabin rental at entry, steam room, dry sauna, pool or jacuzzi, and private areas upstairs. The Botafogo location makes it accessible by public transport as well as Uber, and its position between the beach neighbourhoods and the city centre means that it draws a broad cross-section of Rio's gay male community rather than a single neighbourhood crowd. The staff are professional, the facilities are maintained, and the price point is standard for a Rio gay sauna. For visitors to Rio who are looking for the sauna experience, Thermas Botafogo is the reliable central option. The nearby Botafogo neighbourhood offers a range of cafes, restaurants, and bars to round out an evening.

I arrived around 6 pm on Monday. First time. The receptionist was super friendly and attentive. There were only a few people when I arrived, but it gradually filled up. I had a great time. I've been to saunas in other countries, and I was particularly impressed with its cleanliness. The jacuzzi wasn't working, but I didn't really need it. I also appreciated the small terrace for smoking and relaxing. It's true that the bar service could be a bit better, which would help boost sales. The prices are reasonable for a place like this. There were other staff members who were also friendly and welcoming. I recommend it; I left happy! 😀

It's been a long time since I've been there. But the times I went, the service was good, and I also met great people and had a lot of fun.

The furnishings are very outdated, cleanliness leaves much to be desired, the whirlpool is dry and very dirty... it simply needs renovation.

Is it frequented by older people? Does it have a Grand Prix?
