Badehaus Babylon runs over about 1400 square metres near Friesenplatz and has been open for more than thirty years. It is the only gay sauna in Cologne with an outdoor pool, ten metres long, in a courtyard laid out to look Mediterranean, with a sun deck above it.
Inside there is a dry sauna that takes around fifty people, with a window onto the courtyard, and the largest steam bath of the Cologne saunas. A bar with an open fireplace sits at the centre of the building.
There is a large cruising area and a massage service. Reduced admission applies to younger guests.
