Our Roman steam room—with its arched ceiling, mosaic image of the Roman Colosseum, and natural stone walls in the style of sandstone widely used in the Roman Empire—was designed to recreate the unique atmosphere of antiquity.

Key features of the Roman steam room, unlike the Turkish Hammam, are higher temperatures (50–70°C) and high humidity (100%). In ancient times, Roman sweat rooms were provided with steam by heating water in large kettles located on lower floors. The steam entered the room through small holes in the floor, creating pleasant wet warmth.

High humidity combined with 60–70°C heat has an important effect on the body. Water condensation on the skin along with sweat helps relieve the body from toxins. It benefits the skin and can assist in weight loss. The warming effect of steam on the respiratory system may support healing of chronic processes (such as bronchitis) when not in an acute condition, and it can help restore nervous and muscular systems after physical activities.

It is very important to restore water and electrolytes by drinking herbal and fruit teas (warm or hot). You can also have a cold drink if you are not susceptible to frequent colds with sore throat and cough. Drinks containing caffeine, like tea and coffee, will raise blood pressure and should be avoided.

Warm steam and subdued lighting make this room cozy and comfortable—bringing a feeling of inner comfort and physical relaxation.

The Roman baths appeared in ancient Rome and were originally built over hot springs. Ancient Rome was among the first civilizations where public baths became widespread and were closely tied to culture, health, art, and even political life.
