Celebrated around the world for its candlelit baths and quietly romantic atmosphere, AIRE Ancient Baths arrives just in time for Valentine’s Day. Rooted in the tradition of ancient Roman, Greek, and Ottoman baths, the Spanish wellness brand now counts Toronto among its ten global destinations alongside Barcelona, Sevilla, London, Copenhagen, New York, and Chicago.

For three days only, from February 13 to 15, 2026 AIRE will offer its signature, limited-edition Valentine’s Day Experience in Toronto for the very first time. Centred on water, stillness, and shared ritual, guests are invited to embrace the luxury of time and lose themselves in a journey through AIRE’s magical thermal baths, along with relaxing massages for two performed with a soothing floral oil and warm basalt stones. Hydrating eye patches, a nourishing hair mask, chocolate treats, and more complete the decadent experience which is now booking reservations.

A Temple of Relaxation

Inspired by the tradition of ancient Roman, Greek, and Ottoman baths, the AIRE experience always takes place in restored historical buildings located in city centers. Toronto is no different.

Amidst the timeless charm of the Fashion District, AIRE finds its home in a historic Edwardian Classical building, once the office and warehouse of the Copp Clark publishing company, famously the producers of Canadian Almanac maps and textbooks, popular board games like Monopoly, and the ‘Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ series of books dating back to the early 1900s by Frank L. Baum.

A designated heritage site, AIRE Toronto’s original wood structure and towering pillars remain, preserving the character of its storied past. Today, vintage books and printing presses offer subtle echoes to the building’s history that now generously embraces the art of relaxation. Spanning 23,000 square feet, AIRE Toronto is an oasis of nine thermal baths and a range of distinctive design elements and amenities where the aroma of orange blossom fills the air.

Since ancient times, the power of contrast therapy—bathing in water at varying temperatures—has been revered for its profound physical and emotional benefit including stress reduction, a rebalancing of the body, and a boost in circulation. Guests move through the space at their own pace, guided by candlelight, silence, and the murmur of water.

AIRE Toronto Highlights include:

  • The Palestra Outdoor Bath — a warm open-air bath with ever-changing sky views.
  • The Flotarium — a saltwater bath where guests float effortlessly, as if suspended in time. Underwater music and a sense of stillness invite you to disconnect and journey inward.
  • The Balneum — get carried away by the energy of these dynamic jet baths as they revitalize the body and ease muscle fatigue.
  • Tepidarium, Caldarium, and Frigidarium baths — each reveals a distinct sensation of temperature, texture, and tranquility

Additional features include a dry sauna, steam-filled vaporium enriched with essential oils, massage rooms, and warm marble beds, with the entire environment intentionally intimate and removed from the pace of the city. In celebration of Valentine’s Day the welcome lounge will be further transformed with lush florals adding an elevated aura of romance from the moment guests step inside.
