The Express package is a 30 minute session and the Deluxe Package is a 60 minutes experience. The exact amount of time spent in the steam room will depend on your comfort level. We encourage you to pour cool water over yourself if you get too hot inside the steam room or step into the dressing room to cool off.
We invite you to relax and hydrate after your session in our atrium, located just upstairs from the hammam.. Take some time here to cool down and ground back into your body.
Since these are private sessions, clothing is optional inside the hammam. We will provide you a traditional lightweight Turkish towel to cover up and use while seated or lying down during your session.
Our largest organ is our skin and we tend to cover most of it with our favorite lotion and other body care products. Environmental residue, detergents, and numerous other invisible toxins build up on the skin over time. The hammam is a place to deeply cleanse the outermost layer of our physical body. Finishing with a cold pour is a great immune boost to the system as well.
