Morocco and Turkey are magical countries, the kind of places you dream about; fabled Mediterranean lands steeped in rich history, deep mystique, and delightful wonder. From thrilling souks to delicious cuisine, daily local life is all about culture, beauty, and community. This energy is also encapsulated in their hammams—traditional bath houses of marbled steam rooms—where social life merges with therapy, relaxation, and bathing rituals. 

Taking full inspiration from the hammams of Morocco and Turkey, Hammam opens its third spa in Malaysia at Isetan The Japan Store, in Lot 10. Within the heated marble walls begin the authentic full body cleansing rituals—by skilled Moroccan therapists, of course—ending with an aromatic massage, or a sensual bath for the Royal Hammam Couple. 

This first city Hammam of 2,500 square feet, designed by Kam Kah Zen from BEP Akitek, is an interior design dream, with its heavy brass doors designed by artisans in Fez, bronze open work arcades, geometric motif brass lamps, dazzling jewel box colours, and Hammam’s signature courtyard fountain. 

Behold the Iznik wall tile panels, designed by celebrated interior designer Leila Menchari, erstwhile window director at Hermès and “Queen of Enchantment”. These four limited edition panels at the reception, foot bath areas, and treatment rooms are exactly as those in the Hermès Paris store at 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré—an expression of artistic flourish that makes Hammam at Isetan The Japan Store, in Lot 10 a sublime beauty experience.
