Experience timeless relaxation at Acemoglu Hammam, a historic Turkish bath in Istanbul’s old city. Enjoy Ottoman-era rituals blended with modern luxury for a truly rejuvenating escape.
Step into the tranquil world of Acemoglu Hammam, a hidden gem built by Fatih Sultan Mehmed in the 15th century, located in the heart of Istanbul’s old city. Just steps from Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Basilica Cistern, it offers a seamless blend of cultural exploration and relaxation.
Unlike most hammams, Acemoglu offers a unique mixed-gender experience, perfect for couples, families, or friends. Whether you seek quiet renewal or shared memories, the space welcomes all into the timeless world of Turkish bathing.
Your journey begins with a nourishing clay mask, rich in minerals that purify and prepare the skin. This is followed by the traditional kese, an exfoliating scrub that removes dead cells and improves circulation, leading into a warm foaming wash, an iconic part of the hammam ritual that soothes and refreshes.
You can enjoy this experience in a shared, semi-private, or fully private room, depending on your preference. Each setting reflects the bath's deep heritage, blending Ottoman tradition with comfort.
Thanks to its central location, Acemoglu Hammam is ideal after a day of sightseeing. With its marble interiors, skilled attendants, and centuries-old rituals, it offers more than cleansing, it's a journey through history, serenity, and wellness.
