Experience one of Istanbul’s most authentic wellness traditions at Acemoglu Hammam, a historic Turkish bath commissioned in the 15th century during the reign of Fatih Sultan Mehmed. Located in the heart of the Old City, this beautifully preserved hammam offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Ottoman bathing culture in a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
After arriving at the hammam on your own, you’ll be guided to your chosen bathing option—public, semi-private, or fully private. Acemoglu Hammam is one of the few traditional baths in Istanbul that allows mixed-gender use in designated areas, making it ideal for couples, families, and friends.
Your ritual begins with warming up on heated marble, followed by a mineral-rich clay mask designed to cleanse and nourish the skin. A traditional kese scrub then removes dead skin and toxins, leaving your body refreshed and revitalized. The experience continues with a classic foam wash, where warm bubbles gently relax muscles and calm the mind.
For guests seeking deeper relaxation, optional massage treatments can be added, offering a soothing conclusion to your hammam journey. Throughout the experience, the historic architecture, soft lighting, and tranquil ambiance transport you back to the elegance of the Ottoman era.
