Hammamn & Spa Oktogon Bern

A wellness oasis

Nathalie from Bern

Whether travelling, watching films, series or books, or listening to music – I love discovering new things. And Bern is no exception. I work for the city government, and on my days off, I like to explore new places that friends have recommended to me and that I've seen on social media or while wandering around the city.

"If you think the octagonal building – the first gas tank in the city – is already spectacular from the outside, wait till you see what is inside."

When it is one of those grey, cold and wet days in Bern and I’m looking for a little escape, I will go to Hammam & Spa Oktogon. The spa provides a great retreat not far from the beating heart of Bern, situated in the Mattenquartier right between the Youth Hostel and the Aare. If you think the octagonal building – the first gas tank in the city, dating back to the 19th century – is already spectacular from the outside, wait till you see what is inside. The oriental-inspired spa is furnished with meticulous attention to detail and immerses me in the enchanting world of Disney's classic «Aladdin» every time.

After a two-hour spa tour of different steam baths, peelings and baths on four floors, I feel thoroughly relaxed, regenerated and clean. Wellness devotees like myself can also book couple packages and extra massages to unwind completely.

Please note that Mondays are silent days, and Tuesdays are for women only.

Whether travelling, watching films, series or books, or listening to music – I love discovering new things. And Bern is no exception. I work for the city government, and on my days off, I like to explore new places that friends have recommended to me and that I've seen on social media or while wandering around the city. I love living in Bern and calling this wonderful city my hometown. I've lived here since 2013. Time flies living in a city like Bern: Exciting pop-ups, lively cafés, creative restaurants, and unique exhibitions - Bern never ceases to surprise me. Never a dull moment.

Where The Wild Wines Are

I especially like that they have about a dozen bottles by the glass and that they offer you to try several wines before you settle for a good drop.
