A steam room is a tiled, sealed room filled with warm, saturated steam, usually kept between 40 and 50°C at close to 100% humidity. It feels hotter than the thermometer suggests because sweat cannot evaporate, but the lower temperature makes it gentler than a sauna for many people. Spas often infuse the steam with eucalyptus or mint, and some build aromatic or crystal steam rooms as part of a thermal journey.
People use it to relax, to warm muscles before a massage and because the humid air feels soothing on the airways and the skin. Ten to fifteen minutes is enough, followed by a cool shower; many spas suggest alternating steam, sauna and cold water over a session.
Steam rooms are almost always part of a spa day, gym or facilities pass rather than sold on their own; a thermal facilities pass at a UK spa costs about £25 to £60. The same cautions as sauna apply: not in pregnancy without medical advice, not after alcohol, and check with your GP if you have heart or blood pressure problems or a respiratory condition.

The Northern Quarter has the independent yoga studios, sound bath collectives and holistic practices, often in converted mills and warehouses above shops and cafés. Deansgate and the City Centre hold the hotel spas, with rooftop pools and thermal suites aimed at weekend visitors and pre-night-out spa packages for groups. Salford Quays has the waterfront: open-water swimming in the docks, floating saunas and cold plunges that sell out on weekend mornings.
