Gedikpasa Hamami in Istanbul covers 2,350 square metres and has a 16-meter-high ceiling, built in 1457 by Gedik Ahmet Pasha near the Grand Bazaar. The bath is divided into separate men’s and women’s sections, each served by same-gender therapists. The 1-hour spa experience begins with a 15-minute rest on a warm marble stone, followed by a 10-minute scrub using a traditional kese mitt to remove dead skin, and ends with a 20-minute foam massage. Guests receive towels, single-use slippers and underwear, and have access to a private changing room. The ritual includes Turkish coffee, tea, sherbet, water, Turkish delight, nuts and fruit. Optional add-ons include a classic oil massage in a private room and a foot massage, as well as the option to use a private section for greater privacy. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided, and tipping is not included. The hamam is not suitable for pregnant guests or those with heart disease, diabetes, or asthma. The ritual combines a hot marble stone rest, scrub, and foam massage in one continuous treatment designed to cleanse and refresh the skin.

Gedikpasa Hamam
Gedikpasa Hamami is Istanbul's oldest and among the largest hammams, with a history spanning 550 years at the center of the old city. The hamam ritual here goes beyond hygiene, taking place in gender-separated sections with therapists of the same gender. It begins in a warm room for acclimation, followed by a full exfoliation using a kessa glove. Then a steam bath opens the pores to aid relaxation, succeeded by a fragrant full-body wash and often a massage. The process ends with a cooling period to stabilize the body, sometimes with refreshments. The hamam also functions as a communal space promoting social connection and traditional wellness in separate men’s and women’s areas served by same-gender therapists.
