Wellness Facility
Warm, humid steam envelops you, softening the skin and relaxing every muscle. The steam room is the perfect way to begin your Turkish bath ritual or simply unwind after a busy day in Istanbul.
About the Steam Room
Steam has always been at the core of the Turkish bath. Our steam room fills with warm, humid air that gently raises your body temperature, helping your muscles loosen and your skin soften.
Compared with a sauna, the temperature is lower but the humidity is much higher, creating a soft, enveloping warmth. It is the ideal first step before a kese scrub, as the steam opens the pores and prepares the skin for a deeper cleanse.
Moist heat opens the pores and prepares the skin for kese.
Gentle, enveloping warmth eases stiffness and tension.
A quiet, misty space to slow down and breathe.
Prepares body and mind for the full hammam ritual.
Your Visit
Take a quick rinse before entering to help your body adjust to the warmth.
Sit back and breathe slowly. Short sessions of around 10 to 15 minutes are ideal.
Step out, cool down gently and drink some water before continuing.
Move on to the warm marble, kese and foam, or simply rest and enjoy the calm.
Good to Know
A steam room uses moist heat at a lower temperature with very high humidity. A sauna uses dry heat at a higher temperature. Many guests enjoy both during the same visit.
Around 10 to 15 minutes at a time is ideal. Always listen to your body, step out if you feel uncomfortable and drink water between sessions.
The steam room is part of our Ottoman Sultan Hammam experience. Send us a message on WhatsApp to ask how you can include it in your visit.
