Your experience at Hurrem Sultan Hamam

Timeless Ottoman relaxation

Immerse yourself in centuries-old bath rituals at Hurrem Sultan Hamam, a masterpiece built under the supervision of legendary architect Mimar Sinan in the 16th century. This beautifully restored Turkish bath in Sultanahmet lets you step into a world of tranquillity and tradition where marble interiors, intricate domes and the gentle hum of water offer an escape from city life.

The Turkish hamam journey

Your experience begins with a warm welcome in the grand entrance hall, setting the tone for a soothing visit. Proceed through separate sections for men and women, each designed for privacy and comfort and curated to offer the full spectrum of Turkish bathing rituals. Start with a mild steam in the sweating rooms, preparing your body for invigorating treatments ahead.

Next, attendants expertly perform a traditional kese body scrub that exfoliates and revives the skin. This centuries-old technique removes dead skin cells and boosts circulation, leaving you refreshed and glowing. Continue the ritual with a foam massage, as billowy lather is gently worked across your body atop warm marble, helping to relax muscles and cleanse deeply.

Indulgent packages and unique touches

The hamam offers several package options to cater to your preferences and schedule: Pir-ü Pak (45 min), Keyf-i Hamam (60 min), Zevk-i Sefa (80 min) and Ab-i Hayat (110 min). Each package blends core Turkish bath treatments with select indulgences, such as:

• Redbud-scented clay mask to hydrate and firm skin (selected packages)

• Organic lavender extract and sea salt hand & foot peel

• Hair wash with redbud shampoo

• Soothing face massage and aromatherapy oil massage (in longer packages)

• Private massage rooms for a personalised, unhurried session

• Fresh fruit and dried fruit plate for post-treatment refreshment

At the end of your relaxation journey, you will receive a thoughtful farewell gift to commemorate your visit.
