Sauna terms
hi,
for a sauna area I need two signs and they should be bilingual (german-english).
I need two terms then, one for the entrance of a room where people rest quiet on long chairs.
The other one is for the entrance to the nude area, a kind of warning to avoid that people be surprised of the fact, that everybody is naked there :-)
Does anyone know how this sauna rooms are usually named in english?
thank you
georg

A ritzy day-spa in a hotel in our town has such a room, with a waterfall and a firepit, I think, and who knows what-all. You rest and are served wine if you like, or water. It's called the Quiet Room.

- For the other, I think "Nude Area" is probably the best you're going to do.

You could also say "Clothing Optional" for the nude area. I think "Quiet Room" or "Relaxation Room" works for the other.

Rooms are often not labelled in English.
I would go for "Quiet Relaxation Area" (or Room) because that both labels the room and tells people what they should be doing. Certainly do not use "rest room" as that means toilet.
As for the naked sauna area, then although "Clothing Optional" is a common English phrase it is only appropriate if literally true - when users do actua
