What a banya or hammam is
A banya is a Russian or Eastern European bathhouse built around a very hot, steamy room (the parilka), cold plunges and long breaks with tea and food. A hammam is the Turkish and Moroccan steam bath: warm, humid marble rooms, washing rituals and a scrub. US venues mix the traditions freely.

Etiquette

- Take cold breaks between rounds and drink water or tea, not alcohol.
- In a hammam, follow the attendant's lead on washing and scrubbing order.
