The Roman Steam Room Experience at Art of Sauna
Step into the world of ancient Rome with our Roman Steam Room, designed to transport you to the heart of antiquity. With its arched ceiling, natural stone walls reminiscent of sandstone used in the Roman Empire, and a stunning mosaic of the Colosseum, this room creates an immersive and authentic experience.
What Makes the Roman Steam Room Unique?
Unlike the Turkish Hammam, which is known for its moderate heat and drier air, the Roman Steam Room operates at higher temperatures (50-70°C) with 100% humidity. This combination provides deep warmth and intense hydration, delivering a range of health benefits.
In ancient times, Roman sweat rooms were heated by steaming water in large kettles, with the vapor rising through small floor openings to create a luxurious, wet heat. At Art of Sauna, we recreate this historical practice using modern technology, ensuring an indulgent yet effective wellness session.
Health Benefits of the Roman Steam Room
The high heat and humidity work together to detoxify the body, nourish the skin, and promote relaxation. Here’s how:
✅ Detoxification – The combination of humidity and sweat aids in flushing out toxins.
✅ Skin Hydration & Rejuvenation – The steam opens pores, deeply hydrating the skin and enhancing its natural glow.
✅ Respiratory Relief – Warm steam can help soothe chronic respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis (when not in an acute phase).
✅ Muscle & Nervous System Recovery – Ideal after physical exertion, steam relaxes muscles and supports nervous system regeneration.
✅ Weight Management – Sweating in high heat encourages calorie burn and water weight loss.
How to Make the Most of Your Steam Room Session
For optimal results, we recommend 3 to 5 short sessions of 5-10 minutes each, depending on your body’s tolerance. Whether you visit in the morning to energize your day or in the evening to unwind and relax, the choice is yours.
Hydration is key!
Drink plenty of herbal or fruit teas (warm or hot) to replenish electrolytes. Avoid caffeine-based drinks like tea and coffee, as they can raise blood pressure. If you’re prone to colds, it’s best to skip icy beverages.
The Art of Sauna Experience
At Art of Sauna, your wellness journey extends beyond just one room. With eight uniquely designed thermal rooms, each visit provides full access to all our wellness spaces. Whether you choose to indulge in just one or explore them all, your experience is entirely your own.
We recommend beginning your visit with a lower-temperature sauna for 10 minutes to ease your body into the warmth before transitioning to more intense heat experiences like the Roman Steam Room. Always stay hydrated and allow time to cool down between sessions.
