Hydro Men's Spa

Hydro Men's Spa on Ivar Avenue in Hollywood provides gay bathhouse facilities in a location convenient for visitors staying in Hollywood, central Los Angeles, or West Hollywood. The spa offers the standard range of gay sauna amenities: steam room, dry sauna, private rooms available for rental, lounge area, and the social environment that the format provides. The Hollywood location — a short drive or rideshare from WeHo's bar strip and from the boutique hotels of Hollywood Boulevard — makes it the practical sauna option for visitors whose trip is centred on the entertainment district or central Los Angeles rather than on WeHo itself. The facility is operated specifically for gay and bisexual men. Los Angeles's sauna landscape is less extensive than San Francisco's or comparable European cities, partly reflecting the city's car-dependent geography which limits the clustering that drives sauna density in more walkable cities. Hydro Men's Spa is the most centrally located option for visitors not based in the South Bay or the eastern suburbs.
