Things are steaming up at one spot in the D.
The Schvitz is the place to go when you want to sweat it out and rejuvenate. The Schvitz in Detroit originated nearly 100 years ago. Guests relax in steam rooms that can get to nearly 180 degrees thanks to the steam created from water being tossed on hundreds of hot rocks.
When you walk into the Schvitz, there is a rich history. Legend has it that the Purple Gang used to come to the Schvitz all the time for business because you couldn't use wires in the steam room.
There are different hours on different days for men and women only. Co-ed days are on Monday and Sunday. One visit cost 35 dollars or 3 for 100. You can look them up online by searching Schvitz Detroit.Â
