Rampart Street Sauna

About this place Rampart Street Sauna

The Rampart Street Sauna operates on the Rampart Street edge of the French Quarter, where the neighbourhood's historic core meets the Tremé district. As befits a bathhouse in a city with no closing time, the facility operates around the clock — New Orleans' culture of 24-hour entertainment extends to its gay bathhouse, which functions as a complement to the Bourbon Street clubs at any hour. The facility offers the standard components of a well-run gay sauna: steam room, dry sauna, private cabin rental, locker-only entry, a maze of corridors suited for cruising, and common areas for socialising. The French Quarter location makes it accessible on foot from the Lavender Line bars — Oz and Bourbon Pub are within walking distance, making the sauna a natural late-night extension of an evening that starts on Bourbon Street. During Southern Decadence, the sauna runs at elevated capacity as part of the broader circuit of events that fills the French Quarter for the Labour Day weekend.
