  1. Preparation Before the Hamam

    Before entering the hamam, you will change in your private, lockable dressing room.

    A member of our staff will assist you from the moment you arrive and accompany you to the hot room.

  2. Hot Room Experience (Göbektaşı) - 30 Minutes

    Your journey begins in the warm room, an essential part of the ritual.

    For approximately 30 minutes, you will relax on the marble platform, allowing your body to loosen up.

    • Temperature: 38–40°C | Humidity: 65–72%
    • For your comfort, you can pour warm/cold water over yourself at any time or briefly step into the cooler area. If you have any health issues, please inform our staff in advance.
    • Important Note: Süleymaniye Hamam offers a shared and traditional hammam experience, accommodating couples and families. This area is not private; it is shared with other guests.
  3. Scrubbing & Traditional Soap Massage - 30 Minutes

    While relaxing in the warm room, your therapist will call you by the name of your hotel and direct you to the treatment area.

    • Please note that all masseurs at Süleymaniye Hamam are male.
    • This stage includes a full body scrub (exfoliation), foam massage, and washing (approximately 30 minutes).
  4. Enjoy Refreshments, Change & Preparation - 30 Minutes
    • After your treatment, your therapist will guide you to your private changing room, where you may change from your wet clothes into dry ones.
    • You may then proceed to the cooling area and enjoy our refreshments. This final stage is scheduled for 30 minutes, including changing time.

    We kindly ask all guests to respect the scheduled flow and timing of the experience, so that every guest may enjoy their visit comfortably.
