Hurrem Sultan Hammam

Step into the grandeur of the 16th century at Hurrem Sultan Hammam, a luxurious Turkish bath experience located between the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque in Istanbul’s historic center. Designed by the legendary Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, this hammam seamlessly blends imperial elegance with centuries-old bathing rituals.

Your experience begins in the warm room, where the heat opens your pores and prepares your body for detoxification. A skilled therapist performs a traditional kese scrub to purify your skin, followed by a soothing bubble wash ritual on heated marble stones. The sensations of warm water and rich foam gently cleanse and relax the entire body.

Continue your journey with a revitalizing full-body clay mask, known for its mineral-rich, skin-nourishing properties. Then, indulge in a calming aromatherapy massage using redbud-scented oil, accompanied by a gentle face and foot massage. This combination of treatments restores both your physical and emotional well-being.

All guests receive a personal care kit that includes a new bath mitt, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, olive oil soap, and disposable anti-slip slippers. After your hammam session, enjoy a plate of fresh seasonal fruits and a glass of homemade Ottoman sherbet in the relaxing lounge. Before departure, you’ll receive a farewell gift as a keepsake of your unforgettable experience.

Hurrem Sultan Hammam is more than a bath — it’s a royal escape into Ottoman serenity, where tradition, indulgence, and cultural heritage come together in the most refined way.
