From the moment you are greeted by the doorman you feel like you are walking back into time. The tiles, the beauty of the space is hundreds of years old. The tradition of the bath is even longer. You are guided by your bath therapist who scrubs the grime of busy life, soothes the mind and you come out feeling renewed. Thank you for the experience.

The whole experience was full of the authentic spirit of the Hamam treatment. The therapists were experienced and meticulous and the facilities were just amazing. You could feel the centuries of history on the walls and marbles around you. I will definitely return!

If you are in Istanbul you MUST go to the Cagaloglu Hammam. What a fabulous experience and fantastic way to participate in the Ottoman culture and feel immersed in this unique Turkish experience. Three girlfriends shared this amazing experience together and it still brings smiles and laughter and feels like a big warm hug! ❤️

Enjoy entry to Cagaloglu Hammam and traditional Turkish bath treatments in a historic marble setting, where Ottoman sultans once relaxed.

Kick off with 15 minutes in a steam room, a 10-min kese scrub, and indulge in a bubble bath with a foam massage.

Go for the 60-min session to extend the bubble bath or choose the 80-min treatment to enjoy a 20-min foot massage.

Treat yourself to the 105-min spa for private aromatherapy and Turkish snacks, or opt for the 120-min package for a collagen mask glow-up!
