The hammam in winter, luxury version

We do not come here by chance but in a quest for calm and pleasure. Moreover, we must make an appointment for the sesame of well-being opens. We are far from popular traditions where the social melting pot is in order. Karima Lasfar, the mistress of the place, explains this particularity in the personal care of each client.
 
Me, Myself and I

We come here with our hands in our pockets, we do not clutter with a toilet bag or a hair dryer, everything is lent. The oriental art of living is declined through the unique pieces that decorate the rooms: jugs of yesteryear, calligraphy vase, bath cup of the 19th century, exposure of Algerian photographers.

It is first and foremost the pleasure of the eyes that awakens our senses. Then, as expected, a girl remains at our disposal following us to show us the procedure to follow: a relaxation to prepare the skin in the hot room at 45 °, the break of black soap, a swim in a pool-jacuzzi worthy of the biggest spas, a scrub on the high marble tables and finally a massage exquisite with essential oils in a room apart.

The hammam then becomes sacred, we do not speak, we whisper in listening to his body, his senses, his inner quest to decompress. We find the aura of Arab civilizations, the vestiges of oriental aesthetics, the preciousness of traditions in its refinement. One imagines then this princess of Thousand and One Nights in her private palace safe from the polluting assailants, in the heart of the capital. Go, we indulge in some soft pastries around the bar, and we do not feel guilty to have reached the epicurean eden ... it's just the pleasure!
 
The +: the decoration
The -: the too private side making it an empty place
