Nişantaşı sits north of the Golden Horn, well outside the Historic Peninsula, and its spa scene reflects that. It is a district of boutiques, apartment blocks and hotels, so most of the 17 places listed here are hotel spas, day spas and wellness studios. Among them are hotel hamams such as Beatus Spa at Ramada Plaza, Let's Relax Spa at Riva Hotel and NEX Spa at NEX Hotel. You won't find the centuries-old domed bathhouses of Sultanahmet and the old city here. What you get is a Turkish bath in a modern hotel setting, usually combined with massage and other treatments. If you want a hamam that is itself a historic building, look at the Peninsula listings. If you are staying near Şişli, Harbiye or Osmanbey and want a short, practical visit, this page shows what is nearby. Prices differ by venue, so check each business page, where they are written with their date.

If your days in Sultanahmet are full of museums and mosques, Ağa Hamamı is the one on this list that takes you across the Golden Horn to the Beyoğlu side. It stands on Turnacıbaşı Street near Taksim, and Google shows a 4.7 rating from 5,291 reviews. The menu has three packages: a traditional wash with scrub and foam, the same with a 20-minute oil massage, and a version that adds a face mask. It is open every day from 10:00 to 22:00, but you need a reservation. Whether men and women are separated, how long each package lasts and whether there is a pool, sauna or steam room is not stated, so ask when you book.
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 you're staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip out of the Old City: Beatus Spa sits on the 7th floor of the Ramada Plaza İstanbul City Center hotel in Şişli, on Halaskargazi Street. Hotel guests aren't the only ones admitted, so you can book it as a walk-in guest. Women and men have separate sections, with a Turkish bath, sauna and steam room, plus a rooftop pool whose roof opens and closes. The massage menu includes aromatherapy, deep tissue, Thai and hot stone, across 7 massage rooms and one room for couples. Google shows 4.9 from 204 reviews, and it is open 10:00–22:00 every day. Prices and session lengths aren't published, so you need to ask over WhatsApp.
This is a hamam on Halaskargazi Street, on the Nişantaşı–Şişli edge, so it sits well outside the Old City. It holds a 4.9 rating on Google from 224 reviews and opens every day from 11:00 to 23:00. Its name suggests it operates inside the Riva Hotel, but that comes only from the name and has not been confirmed. The services, the men's and women's sections and the prices are not listed in the information we have. A visit therefore needs a call or message beforehand, and it works best as a planned evening away from the Sultanahmet museums.
If you are staying around Sultanahmet, this is a trip across the city rather than a short walk: NEX Spa sits inside NEX Hotel on Dolapdere Caddesi in Şişli, near Nişantaşı and Osmanbey. It offers a Turkish bath (hamam) and massage, and it is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00. Booking ahead is required. Google shows 4.8 from 184 reviews. No treatment list, durations or prices are published, and whether there is a sauna, steam room or pool is not stated. So the first step is to call the hotel and ask what is on offer.
If you are staying around Sultanahmet, this place is a detour rather than a stop on your route: it is a baby spa consultancy in Silahtar Han on Rumeli Caddesi, on the Şişli side of Nişantaşı. The listing shows a perfect 5.0 on Google from 286 reviews, but its website currently leads to an empty page, so what it offers and what it costs could not be checked. Opening days are Tuesday through Sunday, 09:00–18:00 on weekdays and until 19:00 at weekends, with Monday closed. Sections, facilities and booking rules are not stated anywhere we could confirm. Anyone interested should ask directly before making the trip.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip out of the Old City: Muse and Life Spa is inside the TZL Suites hotel in Teşvikiye, Nişantaşı, in the Şişli district. Its Google rating is 4.7 from 539 reviews. The menu covers massage (Bali, Swedish, hot stone), a Turkish hamam with scrub-and-foam and coffee peeling, a sauna, a steam room and skincare. It opens at 10:00 and closes at 22:00 every day, and you need to book ahead. Prices are not published; the listing says to ask by phone or WhatsApp. Whether the sections are separate or mixed for men and women is not stated.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across the Golden Horn rather than a stroll: Lucida Spa Arts is a day spa inside the Arts Hotel on Halaskargazi Street in Harbiye, in the Şişli district next to Nişantaşı and Beşiktaş. The offer covers a traditional hammam with scrub and foam, massage, sauna, a steam room and a couple's room. It is open every day from 10:00 to 23:00, so it works as an evening stop after a day of museums. Google shows 4.7 from 367 reviews. Prices, session lengths, whether men and women share the space and whether you must book ahead are not stated, so ask before you go.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this spa is a cross-town trip rather than a stroll. It sits inside the Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus on Cumhuriyet Caddesi in Harbiye, in the Nişantaşı, Beşiktaş and Şişli area. Google lists it at 4.6 from more than 14,000 reviews, but that rating belongs to the hotel as a whole. What the spa actually offers (massage, hamam, sauna, pool), its hours, its prices and whether non-guests are admitted are not confirmed. If you want a traditional hamam for your first time, ask the hotel exactly what the spa includes before you commit half a day.
Anyone staying in Sultanahmet should know up front that this is a trip out of the Old City, to a spot on Teşvikiye Street in Şişli. It is a massage studio, so there is no hamam ritual here. The website lists Nu Signature Therapy, aromatherapy, hot stone, deep tissue and reflexology. Google gives it 4.9 from 81 reviews. Walk-ins are not the model: you book online first, and the doors are open 12:00–20:00 on weekdays and 11:00–19:00 on weekends. Prices and session lengths are not published.
For a first-timer staying in Sultanahmet, Lavanta Spa is a trip out of the old city. It is a hamam in Şişli, on Dolapdere Street, and it covers the Nişantaşı and Osmanbey side of town. The doors are open every day from 11:00 until 01:00, which suits a visit after a day of sightseeing. Google shows 4.6 from 104 reviews. What the site does not tell you is what is on offer: services, prices, sections and booking rules are all unlisted, so ask before you set out.
If you are staying around Sultanahmet, this is a trip out of the old city, not a stop on the way. Elta massage is a lymphatic massage clinic on Teşvikiye Street in Şişli, close to Nişantaşı and Beşiktaş. Google shows 4.9 from 118 reviews. The clinic is open until 23:00 on most days, so it works as an end-of-day plan after sightseeing. No service list, treatment durations or prices could be confirmed, so ask before you go.
If your days around Sultanahmet are packed with museums and mosques, this is the option for the evening, and it is on the other side of the city. Mass Spa sits at Teşvikiye Caddesi 39/3 in Harbiye, within the Nişantaşı, Beşiktaş and Şişli area. The doors open at 10:00 daily and close at 00:30, apart from Thursday, when closing is 23:00. Google lists it at 4.6 from 225 reviews. There is no website, so the treatments, prices, any women's and men's sections and whether you must book are all unconfirmed.
Clean Spa Masaj Gleam COLLECTION Nişantaşı is a day spa and massage studio on Dershane Sokak, a side street of Halaskargazi in Şişli, close to Nişantaşı and Beşiktaş. For a visitor staying in Sultanahmet it means leaving the old-city peninsula, so it suits an evening more than a quick break between sights. The doors are open daily from 10:00 to 23:00. Google shows 4.7 from 170 reviews. The only service listed is massage; treatment menu, prices, facilities and booking rules are not confirmed, so ask before you go.
If you are staying around Sultanahmet, this is a trip out of the Old City: Let's Relax Foot Spa is in Teşvikiye, Nişantaşı, on Hüsrev Gerede Street in Şişli district. The listing describes it as a massage venue, and the name points to foot massage, though the exact treatments are not confirmed. It opens daily from 11:00 to 22:00. Google rates it 4.6 from 162 reviews. The venue's website did not load when we checked, so the service list and prices are unverified.
If your days are spent around Sultanahmet, this is a spa you would cross the city for, not stumble upon. Riva Hotel Nişantaşı, in Şişli, has a roughly 500 m² spa section with a Turkish bath, sauna, steam room and massage. It is open daily from 11:00 to 23:00, so it suits the evening after the museums. Google shows 4.6 from 106 reviews. Prices, whether men and women are separated, and whether you must book are not stated, so ask before you go.
Smile Spa is a day spa on a side street in Türkali, Beşiktaş, on the Nişantaşı–Şişli side of the city and not in the Sultanahmet area. The listing gives the address, the hours (10:30–21:30, every day) and a Google rating of 4.7 from 74 reviews. It gives no treatments, no price list, no information on women's, men's or mixed sections, and no word on whether you need to book. If you are staying in the Old City, plan this as a separate trip with its own time slot. Before you go, ask the spa directly what it offers and what it costs.
If your hotel is in Sultanahmet, this place is a trip across the city: it sits in the Villa Han building on Halaskargazi Street in Nişantaşı, in the Şişli district. It describes itself as a massage, spa and fitness centre. Hours are long on weekdays (07:00–22:00) and shorter at the weekend (Saturday 08:00–21:00, Sunday 09:00–21:00). Google rates it 4.2 across 191 reviews. The treatment list, any hamam or sauna, and the prices are not known, because the venue's website could not be opened while this page was prepared.
