Weekends & Holidays

Weekends and Holidays are busy at Scandinave Spa, especially in the Fall and Winter months.  When we have reached capacity, we start a wait list for access to the Scandinavian Baths. We strive to maintain the integrity of our spa experience and sometimes we cannot accommodate all the Guests on the wait list. As a result, there is no guarantee that all Guests on the list will be checked in. We give our best estimate for wait times. We appreciate Guests patience and cooperation on these busy days.

For updates about the wait list, please visit our Twitter Feed (@Scandinaveblue).
