Uncover the allure of Cemberlitas Hammam, a historical jewel set in the heart of Istanbul’s Old City. Built in the 16th century, this stunning bathhouse offers a rare look into the opulent Ottoman bathing traditions, blending the grandeur of its rich past with the comforts of modern amenities.

Designed with respect to tradition, Cemberlitas Hammam is divided into separate sections for men and women, mirroring one another to provide privacy and comfort. This thoughtful layout honors cultural customs while ensuring a customized experience for each visitor.

Your relaxation journey begins in the warm room, a serene space that prepares you for the soothing ritual ahead.

Moving into the hot room, you’ll reach the centerpiece of the hamam experience. Here, you’ll relax on the heated marble platform, known as the ‘Göbektaşı,’ letting the warmth ease your muscles and open your pores, readying you for a truly restorative experience.

Skilled therapists, matched by gender for each section, guide you through an authentic Ottoman bathing ritual. Male guests receive the traditional kese (exfoliation) and massage from male therapists, while female therapists offer the same attentive care to women. These treatments not only refresh the body but also uplift the soul, leaving you revitalized.

After this rejuvenating session, retreat to the cool room, allowing your body to naturally return to a comfortable temperature in this peaceful setting.

Open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Cemberlitas Hammam provides private, lockable lockers in the changing rooms, allowing you to relax with peace of mind. Set in Istanbul’s vibrant Old City, Cemberlitas is more than a bath—it’s a cultural journey. Here, you won’t just experience a spa day; you’ll connect with history and luxury, an essential part of any visit to Istanbul.
