Between the entrance hall and the hot room, the soğukluk is where bathers acclimatise on the way in and cool down on the way out. In a modern spa its role is taken by the experience showers and the relaxation lounge — at Hilton Istanbul Airport, the heated loungers where you rest with tea after the ritual.
