If you want a relaxing getaway in the middle of the city, Hammam Spa is the place to be.

Hammam is an exotic escape from the hustle and bustle of King Street West in Toronto. It’s unisex so both women and men can enjoy the urban Hammam.

Hammam is a “Ritualistic Bath” built on the ancient philosophy of the traditional Turkish bath still found throughout Europe, Russia and Asia. Turkish baths were traditionally steam-filled grottos for social gatherings of the upper class. Women and men would lounge in the steam, during body treatments while socializing.

What makes this luxurious spa in Toronto different from the rest is the Hammam area. The Hammam Steam Room is a co-ed facility so you can wear a wrap which the spa provides (along with a robe and slippers) or bring your own bathing suit.

It’s hot and steamy with eucalyptus and other relaxing scents, dark and illuminated by changing lights. If the heat becomes too much, you can cool down in the Tea Lounge and relax with a snack and some magazines.

I found the Hammam Steam Room so relaxing and the heat was soothing to my aching muscles. I took a break after 10 minutes to get some water just outside the steam room, and went back in for another 10 minutes. I could go in and out of the Hammam Steam Room all day; it’s wonderful for your skin.

Hammam Spa also offers two signature ritual treatments traditional to Hammam treatments found in Morocco, Turkey and the Middle East – the Hammam Turkish Bath Treatment, where you lay down on a heated white onyx table imported from Turkey. The other is the Rhassoul Wrap Treatment.

I had the most amazing facial done – I’ve never had a facial done before so this was a huge treat for me. The senior therapist who pampered me, Cynthia, first took a look at my skin and asked me questions about my daily routine and products that I use. She told me what areas needed some “work” and  then proceeded to give the most amazing treatment for my skin-type using Dermalogica prodcuts.

Not only did I receive a wonderful Dermologica Custom Facial, I was also pampered with a scalp, hand and neck massage as well as a hot towel compression on my feet.  I could’ve easily fallen asleep on the massage table. The Turkish/Middle Eastern music took me away to a foreign place.

Hammam Spa is an escape from the urban chaos of Toronto, transporting you to the Middle East.

  1. I would love to experience the eucalyptus steam room! That looks so peaceful and relaxing

  2. The steam room sounds wonderful. Much better than turning the shower on and locking myself in the bathroom…

  3. I would love the Dermalogica Facial! I love Dermalogica products but i’ve never actually had a facial..

  4. I would love the steam room. Myskin has not had a good winter. The facial would also be nice! The swedish massage would also be amazing.

  5. This is my first Mother’s Day (baby is 7 weeks old) and this would be a much needed treat. The treatments sound extravagant. Fingers crossed!

    I think I would enjoy the steam ritual… Mainly cuz I haven’t ever been in a sauna/steam room ever!

    Even though I have hinted & outright asked for a spa getaway for 17 years, I’ve never been treated to even a massage. This June I turn 40, I’d like a facial, the Dermalogica Facial sounds perfect!

  13. Hard to pick one. The steam room would be fantastic but pampering of a facial also sounds wonderful!
