Deep relaxation, detoxification, and luxuriation are the order of the day at the Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie Paris, a spa that manages to feel worlds away from its fifth floor location at the opulent Shangri-La Hotel in busy Downtown Toronto. The decor is all gold marble, mosaic tiles and oriental rugs, as befitting a spa that offers an authentic hammam experience – with high intensity eucalyptus steam, no less. To this cleansing treatment, guests can add a full body gommage (exfoliation) with black Moroccan soap and an hour-long deep tissue massage for the ultimate spa experience.

But there’s more than just massage on offer here. This Moroccan-inspired spa mixes traditional rituals with a whole host of high-end treatments from Caudalie Paris, including the French brand’s cult favourite, the Caudalie Grand Facial, which is customised to each guest’s skin needs. Round off the day at the Miraj Hammam Spa with a relaxing sojourn in the lounge, drinking mint tea, flicking through magazines and enjoying honey-drenched baklava. Decadent pampering never felt so good.
