We bet you remember the scene when Richard Chang and Vika Abbyaeva had a steamy exchange in this luxurious pool. The pool is part of the wellness centre in The Marmara Park Avenue hotel where well-being takes on high importance. Apart from the pool and gym, the hotel is renowned for its Turkish Hammam, which provides treatments that help purify and fortify the body. The Somadome is even more impressive as the world’s first meditation pod to help deal with stress and improve sleep.
