Hammam & Thermal Bathhouse
A marble bathhouse in the old quarter. Traditional gommage, black soap and steam — followed by a five-stage thermal circuit that leaves the noise behind.
Twenty minutes on the heated marble slab while the steam opens everything up.
Black soap, then a full-body gommage with the traditional kessa mitt.
Rhassoul clay, argan oil, or a deep-pressure massage in a private chamber.
Mint tea in the cooling room. No clocks, no phones, no rush to leave.
The House
Onyx & Ember was built around one belief: a hammam is not a treatment room with steam in it. It is a sequence — heat, scrub, clay, cold, rest — and it only works when nobody hurries you through it.
Our marble came from a single quarry. Our tellak train for two years before they work the slab. And we cap the house at fourteen guests, so the cooling room is never a waiting room.
Signature Rituals
Every ritual includes the full thermal circuit, cooling room and mint service. Arrive thirty minutes early — that part matters.

Guest Notes
“I have been to hammams in Istanbul and Marrakech. This is the first one in the city that did not rush the gommage.”
“The cold plunge terrified me and then became the whole point. Three rounds and I slept nine hours.”
“We booked the Onyx Suite for an anniversary. Nobody knocked, nobody hurried us. Rare thing now.”
Reserve
Sessions run from 9am. Book at least a day ahead — we hold only fourteen places at a time, and the slab fills first.
