| - I went to Hammam Spa on the 21st of December...I was finished work and this was my first day of vacay until Jan 4th 2010, what an amazing way to start a vacay...other then jumping on a plane and flying to a hot country with a hot man.
I had purchased the gift cards in a charity auction at work, so I had a good amount to play with. It took me a few days to think about what I wanted to do and I finally settled on an hour massage (so I could write some of it off) and an algae wrap. As you all know, I'm a self confessed spa snob....and with all of the places I have been to I have never done a body wrap.....well....what a treat.
My day started with getting there early, I wanted to take advantage of the full spa, and since I was on vacay I had nothing else to do. The staff was very sweet and checked me in right away. I was taken on a tour, told where to change and given a key for my locker.
I wasted no time in filling out the forms, changing and making a mad dash to the traditional Hammam steam room. It was very dark, and very beautiful. Built of slate the cool tile was a nice break from the warm sent infused steam.
When it was time for my wrap, I was gathered from the steam and taken to the room. I must admit that it was a weird but very cool and relaxing experience. The lady preforming my treatment, Shelley, was so sweet, and very wonderful. She explained everything and made sure I was comfy when the actual wrapping took place. Next I was off to my massage with Emily and that was just as amazing! If you happen to get the same treatments that I received, try to get these ladies.
To finish off my day I headed back into the steam for a bit. In total I was there for 5 hours and it was well worth it. I will admit that the prices can be a bit steep if you're used to other places, but I think that it's due to the area where the spa is located....it is King West after all.
