If you are staying in Sultanahmet and want a first hammam that does not feel like a crowded bathhouse, Lilyum is one to consider. It sits inside the Aspera Golden Horn Hotel on the Beyoğlu side of the Golden Horn, in the Karaköy and Şişhane area. The website says the hammam and therapy rooms are used by one booking at a time, and the hammam packages include a sauna, a steam room and a rest area. Google shows 4.9 from 1,365 reviews. The menu runs from a 60-minute traditional hammam at €50 to massage and couples packages, and you must book ahead.

Your first time here

Expect a private-room format: according to the website, the hammam and therapy rooms are used by one booking at a time. The hammam packages include sauna, steam room and rest area, and the menu lists scrub, foam, peeling and massage options. The traditional hammam is 60 minutes for €50; the Classic Package is 85 minutes for €80. Whether there are separate women's and men's sections is not stated, so ask when you book.

Fitting it into an Old City day

Lilyum is in Beyoğlu, near Karaköy and Şişhane, across the Golden Horn from Sultanahmet. From Sultanahmet you can take the T1 tram via Gülhane, Sirkeci and Eminönü to Karaköy; the M2 metro also stops at Şişhane. Transfer details and walking times are not given, so check them when you book. It is open daily 09:00–23:00, so a late-afternoon or evening slot after museums and mosques works well.
