AIRE Ancient Baths Toronto presents its AIRE Gift Box and broader thermal bath experience as a wellness-oriented option for holiday gifting and personal reset. The experience is set within a restored 1912 Edwardian building that formerly served as offices and warehouse space for the Copp Clark publishing company.
The 23,000-square-foot venue, which opened last year, centers on a self-guided circuit of eight thermal baths at varying temperatures. The options include a warm Tepidarium, cold Frigidarium, hot Caldarium, two jet baths, an aromatherapy steam room, a salt-water Flotarium with underwater music, a dry sauna, and an outdoor bath whose temperature shifts with the seasons. Heated marble rest areas and a range of massage and ritual offerings are also available.
AIRE Ancient Baths Toronto's AIRE Gift Box packages a gift card for these experiences in a presentation format intended to make the act of giving feel as considered as the visit itself
