Float STL - Midtown is located off Locust Street where there's metered street parking. This was a…read morelate birthday treat for my dad, and he had never been prior to this. My last visit was in 2023 for my birthday. Upon entering, you are met with the soothing smells of a spa. The best way I can describe it is like the smell of a Hilton Hotel hallway. You have to take off your shoes and leave them at the door, so don't be like me and wear flip-flops, because otherwise you will be barefoot on the floor. Our guide was Jesus, who was very peaceful, kind, and explained everything to us. He even was able to give me booties I could wear, although he stated that their floors are very clean. He was barefoot himself. I believe him, but I am super paranoid. Anyway, they had a few additions to the spa since my last visit, such as an infrared sauna, a cold plunge tank, and zero-gravity massage chairs. He gave us a tour of these offerings after we consumed our tea. After we used the restrooms, he gave us a tour of our pods. I felt like Jesus did a wonderful job of explaining to my father how to enter and exit the pod and making sure he had what he needed prior to entering so that he could enjoy his experience. You have to take a shower before you enter and after you exit the pod. Lights and music are optional, as is closing your pod versus leaving it open. There is a bottle of fresh water to spray on your face should salty water get near your eyes. With the salt volume, you shouldn't get salt in your eyes unless you fall asleep in there and turn really fast like you're in bed or in a rotisserie oven. They also provide earplugs to keep the water out and petroleum jelly should you have minor open cuts. The water should only come up to your chin or right below your ear when you're on your back. There is a halo you can rest your head on if you can't trust your head to stay afloat (which it will). They have monthly membership packages should you want to self-care each month as well. After our session, we had another cup of tea and then had some brunch. Let me not forget their powder room has just about anything you could need after such a relaxing experience and their hair conditioner loves my curls! I have always enjoyed my experiences at this location and in Maryland Heights. They have amazing guides and create such a curated experience for their guests.

I've been to various float therapy vendors all over the country, so I'm biased in that I really enjoy the whole float experience, excellent way to relax and just chill and forget about life for awhile.

The float was great- warm, relaxing, everything you could ask for in a healing warm soak. I had the "smaller" tank and my husband had the larger one, we both had a lot of room to float and relax. Each session is an hour long, and I think that was just a little too long for his first time- he got out early. I took the whole hour but I would have been happy with half the time. My only complaint was they don't offer shorter floats for less money, I may be able to convince my husband to go back if they did.

The float room, once the bathroom light turns off, is pitch black and no sound. I was able to clear my mind and find some peace. I then showered off and got a 60 min massage.

I was able to zen out longer than I have in years and will definitely be back.

I love that they offer so many different packages for float trips as well as other meditative and massage based services.

Soothing, relaxing, refreshing-you just float on your back with the lights on or off - music or no music. You are tucked away into your own private little oasis for 30 minutes or 60 minutes. You have to surrender to the salt water and float. It's shallow water so you can sit up or stand up at any time. I started with nice warm tea then went to my room. You shower first and then begin your session. They have everything you need - ear plugs, towels, robes, pool noodles, ear drops, q-tips, contact cases, shampoo/conditioner, body wash and blow dryers. You shower again after your session and you can go relax in the Zen room with some tea or water. The friendly staff is there to support you every step of the way. If you need to destress this is the way to do it. This is a very nice clean facility with a caring staff.

One of the best things that I know this was there are showers in each of the room so you can shower before and after you get in and out of the pod. They had the option of having the light on or off as well as the music. I chose to turn off both. My float was so relaxing I definitely want to do it again.
