Hurrem Sultan Hamam: Turkish Bath, Spa & Massage in Sultanahmet

About this experience

The Turkish bath ritual at Hurrem Sultan Hamam Hurrem Sultan Hamam is a 16th-century Ottoman bathhouse in Sultanahmet, completed in 1556 and standing between Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Book Hurrem Sultan Hamam tickets to follow a traditional Turkish bath sequence in separate sections for men and women, with a gender-matched therapist for your treatments. Check in at the main entrance and allow a few minutes to change. A typical visit starts with time in the warm marble rooms so your skin can adjust to the heat. An attendant then performs a traditional kese body scrub with a head and neck massage, a technique that exfoliates and stimulates circulation. The ritual continues with a bubble wash on the warm marble, using soft foam to cleanse the skin. Shared extras include a personal care kit with underwear and disposable slippers, bathroom essentials and a glass of Ottoman sherbet. The hamam recommends swimwear for the spa experience. Bring your booking confirmation and a valid photo ID, and arrive at least 15 minutes before your booked session. Large bags and outside food or drink are not allowed inside.
