Our Civic Preview Event marked a major milestone for Coba Bathhouse, serving as the public introduction of the project. Hear directly from our Co-Founders, Memphis Orion and Jon Medina, along with our Chief Storytelling Officer, Adam Lerner, about where we stand today, the long-term vision guiding the work, and the day one commitments shaping our decisions.

Memphis Orion’s steamy vision of Denver includes state-of-the-art saunas and cold plunges, salt scrubs, solariums, and towel-whipping “aufgussing” rituals. For now, however, the amenities for his new business are limited to a steel-frame trailer behind a gutted industrial building. His custom-built, solar-powered mobile sauna, or Cobacita, fits a little over a dozen people on its…

Bathhouses have been cultural fixtures around the world for centuries, but in the U.S. they’re having a modern resurgence. It’s the “new idea that is thousands of years old,” one founder expressed to Bloomberg, and it’s taking the place of bars and coffee shops. In a stark contrast to the modest traditional saunas built for quiet and stillness, new bathhouses like Othership can hold up to 90 people in a sauna at once. Young people…

It wasn’t the fiber-optic lighting, nor the tepid heat, that shocked Cécile Méguère the first time she entered a New York City sauna.

The sauna industry is hot and only getting hotter — but the boom reveals more about happiness than it does about health. The bathhouse tiles echo with splashing water and hissing steam as you step down to the cold-plunge pool. On the final stair, the 29-year-old analyst in front of you starts…

here’s going to be a new bathhouse in the city. Picture the communal bathhouses that date back centuries, but modern with an urban garden with saunas, mineral pools and even a geothermal well to heat the tubs. That’s the plan for the area around Osage Street and…

All 11 of the wellness sectors identified in a new Global Wellness Institute Report now exceed their pre-pandemic levels, with wellness real estate and mental health leading the way. The global wellness economy has…

The New York-founded “social wellness destination,” as they call it, brings saunas, pools and massages, all with a Dune aesthetic. Now, they’re expanding to Los Angeles, Chicago and Nashville.

Orion hopes to bring that type of camaraderie to Denver with the opening of Colorado Bathhouse, or CoBa. The network of pools, saunas and lounges across two buildings and a plant-packed courtyard is planned for 1339 Osage St. in Denver’s Lincoln Park neighborhood…

The team behind Coba is a long way from realizing its grand vision to put a pool-packed wellness mecca south of downtown Denver. So, for the moment, the company — named by combining the words “Colorado” and “bathhouse” — has settled for a sauna on wheels. A custom-built trailer, called the Cobacita, sits…
