Old City Rituals is a massage and spa inside Icherisheher, the walled old town of Baku, a few minutes on foot from the Maiden Tower. One address, unhurried sessions, and therapists who ask what hurts before they start.
We work with European and Eastern techniques in one place: Swedish and deep tissue, Balinese and Thai oil massage, hot stone therapy, and care for the face, feet and head.
Every session starts with a short conversation. You say where it hurts and how much pressure you can take, and the therapist works from there. Nothing is decided in advance except the time.
The room is prepared before you arrive: warm towels, oil already at body temperature, and an hour that belongs to you alone.
We work by appointment. The time you agree is held for you, so there is no queue and no waiting room.
Tell the therapist about injuries, pregnancy or blood pressure before the session. The technique is adjusted, or we advise against it.
Write or call in Azerbaijani, English, Russian or Turkish. Use whichever is easier for you.
Old City Rituals is named after the place: Icherisheher, the walled town that Baku grew around. The mark is its gate, a pointed arch between two stretches of crenellated wall. A gate is a good promise for a spa: you step through it and the noise of the street stays outside.
You will meet the same mark on the door and on the linen. Small things, but those are the ones a guest remembers.
Write to us and we will find a time that suits you. It takes a minute.
