Signature Experience · Istanbul
Five centuries of pure relaxation.
Under marble domes pierced by star-shaped skylights, the traditional Turkish bath remains one of Istanbul's most authentic and restorative rituals.
The Experience
Warm marble, soft light.
Istanbul's historic hammams, some designed by the great architect Mimar Sinan, have been restored to their former glory. The ritual begins on the heated marble navel stone, followed by a traditional scrub and foam massage.
We select the hammam according to your travellers' style, from historic landmarks in the old city to luxurious spa versions in five-star hotels.
