14,2001 Relaxing facials for tighter skin. Going nude in public is a funny thing. It's so, well, naked. But as they say 'when in Rome', or more appropriately, 'when in a Korean Bathhouse', naked is the order of the day.
Bathhouses are a Korean and Eastern European institution.
In many countries they have survived the invention of ensuites and home spas because they are a great place to catch up on gossip and slough off the week's stresses. Apollo's at Hotel Diana is tucked away downstairs in a peaceful space that also offers massages, facials and a traditional Korean body scrub. Apollo's takes its cue from a relaxation centre with soft piped music and sparkling clean facilities. Check in at the front desk, they supply towels and a locker key. So the next step is to take a big breath and strip off, stash your stuff in the locker and hit the showers.
