SXSW is an exhilarating whirlwind of music, film, tech, and culture, but let’s be real—it can also be exhausting. Whether you're a local trying to escape the madness or a visitor in need of a recharge, the Austin Salt Room is your go-to oasis. We are located 3 minutes south of downtown off S 1st (Guadalupe). Here’s why you should make time for a session during SXSW:
1. Boost Your Immune System
Long days, late nights, and exposure to largeand foreign crowds can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illness. Salt therapy naturally supports your body’s defense mechanisms by helping to clear toxins from your respiratory system, reduce inflammation, and promote overall immune health. By incorporating salt therapy into your SXSW routine, you can help your body stay strong and resilient throughout the festival.
2. Reset Your Nervous System
The nonstop energy of SXSW can leave your nervous system in overdrive. The Austin Salt Room provides a peaceful environment where you can breathe deeply, relax, and activate your body’s parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response. A 45-minute session in the salt room helps to lower cortisol levels, reduce stress, and restore balance, leaving you feeling calm and recharged for the next event.
3. Enhance Your Overall Well-Being
Between travel, socializing, and packed schedules, it's easy to neglect self-care during SXSW. Salt therapy offers a holistic way to prioritize your health by promoting deep relaxation, improving sleep quality, and supporting respiratory function. Taking time to invest in your well-being will help you feel refreshed, focused, and ready to make the most of the festival experience.
What is Salt Therapy?
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is an ancient wellness practice that harnesses the power of pure, natural salt to promote healing and relaxation. Used for centuries in Eastern Europe, salt therapy supports respiratory health, skin conditions, and overall well-being. The microscopic salt particles help clear congestion, reduce inflammation, and boost immune function, while also calming the nervous system.
Many guests use their time in the salt room as a chance to fully unwind—our comfortable anti-gravity chairs and soothing music make it the perfect spot for a midday snooze. Got kids? We offer kids’ play sessions throughout the week to help little ones breathe easier and relax too.
SXSW Special: Unlimited Week Pass
We know SXSW is a marathon, not a sprint. That’s why we’re offering a special unlimited salt therapy pass for $111 during the festival. Come as many times as you need from March 7 - March 15 to stay balanced, breathe better, and boost your wellness.
Book your sessions online or drop in between events—because self-care is just as important as catching the next big act. We are open M Th F from 10-1p + 3-7p and Sat/Sun from 10-5pm
