If you are staying around Sultanahmet, Zahir Spa means leaving the Old City for Beyoğlu: it sits on Sıraselviler Street in Gümüşsuyu, in the Taksim–Cihangir area. It is a standalone hammam and massage centre rather than a hotel spa, and it has been running since 2014. The listed menu mixes a couples' hammam-plus-massage ritual (€230, 80 minutes) with 50-minute massages at €80 to €120. Hours are long, 10:00 to midnight on weekdays and to 01:00 from Friday to Sunday, which suits a visit after a day of museums. Google shows 4.6 from 483 reviews, but whether bathing areas are separated by gender is not stated.

Your first visit here

The listed features are hammam, scrub and foam, massage, sauna and steam, plus a couples' room. The Sultan & Sultana ritual (hammam and massage for two) takes 80 minutes and costs €230; the Swedish massage is €80, and hot stone and Thai massage are €120 each, all 50 minutes. Whether there are separate women's and men's hammam sections is not stated, and neither is whether booking is mandatory, so ask when you reserve. Other treatments on the menu were not price-checked.

Fitting it into an Old City day

Zahir Spa is on Sıraselviler Street in Gümüşsuyu, in the Taksim–Cihangir area, so it works best as an evening after you finish in Sultanahmet. From the Old City you can take the T1 tram and then the M2 metro, which runs Yenikapı, Vezneciler, Şişhane, Taksim; check the exact transfer and walking time on your map. Doors open at 10:00 and close at midnight (Mon–Thu) or 01:00 (Fri–Sun), so even a late start after the museums is possible.
