Historical Cagaloglu Hammam in Old City

About Cagaloglu Hammam

Welcome to the glory of the Cagaloglu Hammam, a historical gem in the heart of the Old City of Istanbul. Dive into a world of luxury and tradition since the 18th century, where the comfort of the modern era and the culture of the Ottoman baths come together.

From the moment you arrive, you will be captivated by the authentic style of classic Turkish hospitality and Ottoman architecture surrounding you at every turn — chic marble detailing and classical Turkish motifs create a cool ambiance. Divided into two separate sections for men and women, the hammam ensures privacy and a personal experience for each guest.

The journey begins with the warm room, where the gentle heat and steam prepares your body for the traditional bathing ritual under the grand dome. The starry lights will let you feel like you are having a bath under the stars. Leading on to the hot room, with a heated marble platform and your body relaxing in a steam-filled atmosphere that opens your muscles and pores.

Professional therapists offer authentic Ottoman experiences, providing a special scrubbing head to toe with exfoliating scrubs (Kese) and massages. After a certain time at the hot room, it is time to eventually get to the cold room in order to chill out with traditional Turkish tea or sherbet.
