Inspired by bathhouse culture around the Med, a rich enduring communal tradition where cleansing is a public activity that involves and encourages socializing and relaxation as a part of the ritual. From Thermae to Hammams, there is a beautiful diversity in practices and complexity of rituals, but all include a slow pace, incorporate cleansing herbs, and promote a relaxing environment, just as this bar does.
