Been there, done that? Think again, my friend. The place is clean, calm as you'd expect of a spa and offers a wonderfully indulgent experience, starting with the thick pearl-white bathrobe you're given upon entry. Even the changing rooms have all the trappings of luxury: comfy slippers, discreet lockers and enough towels to dry a herd of hippos. After a spot of pampering you're led into the hammam proper, where your skin is pinched, spanked and smeared in Aleppo soap during massage.
Then comes the icing on the cake: a glorious soak in a large bath surrounded by large clay amphoras, where an obliging attendant serves fresh lemonade. With two Michelin-starred restaurants, sumptuous gardens, a cigar room and their own hairdressers, it's only right that the five-star Le Bristol also has a stellar spa. Run by La Prairie, this extremely elegant bolthole β with marble floors, lush green palms and the fanciest cucumber water you've ever tasted β offers everything from the extravagant white caviar facials to the essentials manicures.
All of which is perfectly topped off by cocktails in Le Bristol bar. This cute little haven of relaxation is situated just off Boulevard de la Chapelle. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but inside is, as the name indicates, an oasis of calm.
