Hammam Tradition
Step into a centuries-old tradition. Warm marble, rising steam, a revitalising kese scrub and a cloud of soft foam: our traditional Turkish hammam is the most authentic way to relax and renew during your stay in Istanbul.
About the Hammam
The Turkish bath, or hammam, has been at the heart of Istanbul life for centuries. More than a place to wash, it is a ritual of warmth, cleansing and rest, where steam and heated marble prepare the body for a deep, traditional cleanse.
At Cemberlitas Spa Turkish Bath, attendants guide you through each step: warming up, an invigorating kese scrub, a soft foam massage and warm rinses. You leave with silky skin, a relaxed body and a true taste of Ottoman tradition, just steps from the Old City.
Steam and kese leave your skin smooth, soft and renewed.
Heated marble and steam relax tired muscles from head to toe.
A calm, unhurried ritual that quiets the mind.
One of the most authentic cultural experiences in the city.
Step by Step
Relax in the warmth of the hammam and on the heated marble navel stone as your body slowly unwinds.
Your attendant exfoliates your whole body with a traditional kese mitt, lifting away dead skin.
A cloud of soft, fragrant foam covers your body, followed by a gentle, soothing massage.
Warm water rinses complete the ritual. Take your time to rest before heading back into the city.
