Discover the Ultimate Relaxation Experience at Chattanooga Headspa

Breathe Deep and Relax: Inside Chattanooga Salt Cavern in St. Elmo

Tucked right into the base of Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga Salt Cavern offers one of the most calming and restorative experiences in the city — and if you haven’t been yet, it’s well worth a visit. This is Chattanooga’s only salt cave, nestled in St. Elmo, and brings the benefits of halotherapy (dry salt therapy) in a truly peaceful setting. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal allergies, breathing issues, or just need a mental reset, spending time at the Salt Cavern is a quiet way to recharge — and yes, you may even find yourself dozing off in a zero-gravity chair.

The Experience:
Chattanooga Salt Cavern isn’t just visually impressive — it’s an active salt cave, which means it features a halogenerator that disperses microparticles of dry salt into the air. That salt-rich environment may help reduce inflammation, clear sinuses, and support overall respiratory health. You’ll notice it right away: the air is crisp and dry, and the softly glowing walls set the mood for instant calm.

Most visitors spend their 45-minute session reclining in one of the zero-gravity chairs, covered with a cozy blanket. You can meditate, nap, stretch, or simply talk quietly with friends. The environment naturally encourages your body to shift into a parasympathetic state — that’s the deep rest-and-reset mode that’s increasingly hard to come by in daily life.

Community sessions are open to anyone and incredibly peaceful, but if you’re hoping for a more private moment — or want to bring a small group — private sessions are available and easy to book online.

In addition to the regular salt therapy sessions, the Salt Cavern hosts special events like yoga classes inside the cave, sound baths, and even drum circles, blending wellness and community in a really unique space.

VTX Club House: Chattanooga’s Newest Spot for Bourbon, Cigars, and Golf Simulators  

If you’re looking for an upscale-yet-inviting spot to unwind downtown, VTX Club House on Georgia Ave just opened its doors—and it's bringing something fresh to Chattanooga’s nightlife scene. With a stylish public lounge, a sleek cigar bar, live music, craft cocktails, and members-only perks like indoor golf simulators, this place is designed for those who enjoy the finer things without a pretentious vibe.  

The Experience  

Stepping into VTX Club House feels a little like discovering a secret jazz club—but more modern, with a thoughtful mix of dark woods, leather seating, moody lighting, and a curated soundtrack to match the space. The first floor is completely open to the public (no membership required), and there’s plenty to explore even if you’re just dropping in for a drink.  

At the heart of the ground level is a well-appointed bar serving bourbon-forward cocktails, wine, and a full food menu. There’s also a luxe cigar lounge that feels intimate but spacious, with ventilated design that keeps things comfortable. Cozy couches and seating nooks invite you to settle in with a drink or light meal, whether you’re here for date night, happy hour, or a solo evening out.  

On Friday nights, live music adds even more energy to the space. Talent and genres may vary, but the vibe leans smooth, soul, and jazz-oriented—perfect for a relaxed yet polished night out.  

Upstairs is reserved for VTX members and offers even more amenities: private cigar and bourbon lounges, meeting spaces, a theater room, and three indoor golf simulators. Membership starts at various tiers, with the Gold Level at $300/month offering full access to all amenities, personal lockers, and curated member events.

- If cigars are a big draw for you, ask the staff for recommendations—they're knowledgeable and friendly, and the cigar lounge rotates selections regularly.  

- The golf simulators upstairs are pro-level with multiple courses and swing tracking, so it’s just as fun for experienced golfers as it is for beginners. Occasionally, they host members-only tournaments or viewing nights in the theater room.  

- Great photo ops? The interior design is sharp and photogenic, from the low-lit bar shot to the leather reading chairs near the front windows.  

Final Thoughts  

VTX Club House is carving out something unique for Chattanooga—a polished space that blends bourbon, cigars, conversation, and entertainment without being exclusive. Whether you’re curious about membership or just want to find a new weekly hangout spot, the public lounge alone is worth a visit.

100 Ramen & Hibachi & Sushi Bar just opened by the Aloft Hotel in Hamilton Place- and they've got some cool grand opening deals I'm sharing below! There's a big menu with lots of Japanese variety, and it's a great mix of comfort food and healthy options (they’re even right next door to Crunch Fitness, so it’s basically balanced, right?).

Address: 2090 Hamilton Place Boulevard, Chattanooga, TN

My First Visit

I went in to give it a try, and here’s the rundown:

• Shrimp Hibachi – fresh, sizzling, and loaded with flavor.
• Gyoza appetizer – the perfect comfort bites
• ‍Chicken Katsu Donburi- not many places have this around town, I was a big fan!

• Boba Tea – I love fruit boba tea!! And popping pearls! I got the mango, and it was great! And okay, confession: I’m usually not a milk tea person. But their ZangZang Boba Tea? Surprisingly good.
• Tonkotsu Ramen – my personal favorite of the night. Rich, hearty, and exactly what you want in a bowl of ramen.
• Sushi – beautifully crafted by Kevin, the sushi chef. Nothing here is pre-made, so yes, it may take a little longer if he’s busy- but the results are so worth it.

I got to talk to the owners and they told me they’re aiming to be a healthier, quick, intentional option while still giving you all the fun of a full ramen + hibachi + sushi + boba lineup.
