Toronto, Ontario
24-hour men’s bathhouse and spa on Carlton, since 1998.
Spa Excess is a 24-hour men's bathhouse on Carlton Street in downtown Toronto, a short walk from the Church Street strip. It's built on a European-spa model: the ground floor centers on a hot tub ringed by palms, with wet and dry saunas, a gym, and a rooftop patio, while the upper floor holds a maze of private rooms, a dark room, and a lounge. A licensed bar keeps it social rather than purely functional. The crowd is broad and skews a little older, and a calendar of themed events gives it a real identity, anchored by the long-running Bears in Excess gatherings that bring a dedicated bear and chub community in on Sundays. Among Toronto's bathhouses it's one of the larger and more amenity-heavy options, the one to choose if you want a full spa setup rather than a bare-bones cruise. Open around the clock for locals and travelers alike.
