Bomonti is a district of Şişli on the European side, well north of the Historic Peninsula. It is known for the old Bomonti brewery, a late-19th-century industrial site that has since become a hotel and event area. This guide's main focus is the peninsula and its hamam tradition, so Bomonti is a different kind of place. The spas here are mostly inside modern hotels and a few small wellness centres. We list seven venues in the area, including Eva Spa Gleam at Bomonti Otel, the spa of the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti, La Wisteria Spa, Jaff Spa & Wellness and the Sunaria Spa & Fitness at Holiday Inn. Some of these have a Turkish bath section. These are hotel-style hamams, not historic bathhouses like the ones in Sultanahmet or Çemberlitaş. If you want the Ottoman architecture and ritual, go to the peninsula. If you are staying near Şişli or Nişantaşı and want a convenient spa session, Bomonti is a practical option. Prices and opening hours are written, with the date, on each venue's own page.

If you are staying in Sultanahmet, note first that Melas Spa & Wellness is not in the Old City. It is in the basement level (floor -2) of the Melas Hotels building in Gayrettepe, in the Beşiktaş district. The spa takes day guests and combines a hamam, a pool and a sauna with a massage menu that has listed prices. Booking is mandatory and goes through WhatsApp. It is open daily from 07:00 to 23:00, and Google shows 4.8 from 926 reviews.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across the Golden Horn rather than a walk: the spa sits on the first floor of the Golden Park hotel on Lamartin Street, in Beyoğlu near Taksim. It is open every day from 10:00 until midnight, which suits a visit after the museums close, but you must reserve in advance. The menu has four hammam packages of 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes, plus eight massage types of 30 to 60 minutes. Google shows 4.9 from 1,338 reviews. The listing gives no prices, and it does not say whether men and women are separated or whether scrub-and-foam is included, so ask when you book.
If you are staying in the Old City and want a hamam that is not a tourist-route stop, this one is in a hotel in Taksim, a short metro ride away. It holds a 4.7 Google rating from 1,128 reviews. The hamam is listed together with a sauna, a steam room, a pool, and a range of massages from Swedish to Thai. There is a couples room and three set packages of 65 to 105 minutes. Prices are not published and booking in advance is required, so write to them before you go.
If your hotel is in Sultanahmet, this is a trip out of the old city. Eva Spa Gleam Bomonti sits inside a hotel on Huzur Sokak in Şişli, and it works as a day spa, so you don't need to be a hotel guest to ask about a visit. The facilities are a hammam, sauna, steam room and pool, with massage on the service list. Doors open at 10:00 daily, close at 23:00 Monday to Thursday and stay open to 01:00 Friday to Sunday. Google shows 4.9 from 157 reviews. Prices and session lengths are not published, and the website covers the whole Eva Spa brand rather than this branch alone.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip out of the Old City, not a stroll from your hotel. Jaff Spa & Wellness is a hamam on İzzetpaşa Sokak in Şişli, in the Bomonti and Osmanbey area. It holds a 4.8 rating from 317 Google reviews and is open daily from 10:00 to 23:00, so it can fit into an evening. The listing gives no service menu, prices or section details, and it is unclear whether women and men are separated. For a first-time hamam visitor that means a few questions to settle before you go.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this one is a trip out of the Old City: Sunaria Spa & Fitness is the spa of a Holiday Inn on Halaskargazi Avenue in Şişli, close to Bomonti. Google shows 4.8 from 262 reviews, and the listing is open 07:00–00:00 every day, although the venue's own website reportedly gives 10:00–23:00. What the website actually presents is a gym, reformer pilates and kickboxing classes. A hammam or massage is not mentioned there, and whether the venue offers a traditional bath at all could not be confirmed. Prices and bookings are handled by phone, so ask before you plan around it.
For a first-time visitor based in Sultanahmet, this is the odd one out: a hotel spa inside the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti, on Silahşör Street in Şişli, well away from the old-city sights. It is a modern hotel amenity, not a historic hamam. Google shows 4.8 from about 25,000 reviews, but it is unclear whether that rating describes the spa or the hotel as a whole. The site could not be reached, so the facilities, hours, prices and whether non-guests are admitted are all unconfirmed. If a traditional bathhouse experience is what you want, this is probably not the place.
Aytemer is an independent massage and beauty studio that has operated since 2017 on a quiet street in Şişli, in a residence building called Öğer Residence. It is not a hammam, and the listing names no sections or facilities beyond massage. The treatment list is long: foot, head, hand, neck-and-back, face, sports, cellulite, herbal ball, Thai and G5 massage, plus classic skin care and manicure-pedicure. Google shows 4.6 from 744 reviews, and the studio opens every day from 11:30 to 22:00. For a first-time visitor staying in Sultanahmet, the main question is whether an evening trip across the city fits the day. Prices and treatment lengths are not published, so you would need to ask.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, La Wisteria Spa means leaving the Old City: it is in Şişli, inside La Wisteria Hotel, near Bomonti and Kurtuluş. Google shows 4.9 from 203 reviews, and the spa takes visitors from 08:00 to 23:00 every day of the week. What it offers is not stated. The hotel's website has a spa page, but it names no treatments, durations or prices. Whether it has a sauna, steam room, pool or hamam is unknown, as is any separation by gender. Treat it as a place to contact first rather than one to turn up at.
If your days are built around Sultanahmet's museums and mosques, this massage salon sits well outside that circuit: it is on Koca Mansur Sokak in Şişli, near the Bomonti district. The venue opens at 09:00 and closes at 23:00 every day of the week, and Google shows a 4.2 rating from 229 reviews. What it actually offers is not known, because its services, treatment lengths and prices could not be read. Whether it has a hamam, sauna or pool is also unconfirmed, and so is whether you need to book. Call or check its website before making the trip.
6 venues on this list offer massage; some are massage-only, others combine it with a hamam. Durations and prices are listed with their date on each venue page.
There is no Bomonti stop in our transport table, so we do not name a nearest station. The neighbouring areas of Şişli and Osmanbey (Nişantaşı) are on Metro M2, which also serves Gayrettepe and Taksim. To reach the Historic Peninsula, take M2 towards Yenikapı. Vezneciler-İstanbul Ü. is the stop for the Beyazıt side. Alternatively, change at Yenikapı for Marmaray to Sirkeci, or for M1 to Aksaray. The T1 tram then runs through Sultanahmet, Çemberlitaş and Eminönü. From either airport, Havaist (from İST) and Havabüs (from SAW) go to Taksim or the peninsula. A taxi from Taksim is the simplest way to finish the trip. Check the exact route to your venue before you leave.
Not a historic one. The hamams here, such as Jaff Spa & Wellness and Sunaria at Holiday Inn, are modern and hotel-style. For Ottoman bathhouses, look at the Historic Peninsula.
Prices change, so we do not give a general figure. Each venue's page on this site states its price with the date it was checked.
Go to a Metro M2 station such as Osmanbey, ride to Yenikapı, then change to Marmaray for Sirkeci. From there, the T1 tram reaches Sultanahmet. Another option is M2 to Vezneciler-İstanbul Ü. and then a walk towards Beyazıt.
Hotel spas such as the Hilton Bomonti usually work by appointment, and guests of the hotel may have priority. Check the venue's page or contact it directly before you go.
