The verdict

Swim at rooftop height, then lie on warm marble under a ceiling of small lights while someone scrubs the city off you.

The hammam at Rise SPA Old City: a round marble belly stone, marble basins and a ceiling set with tiny lights

Go at five

Swim in the rooftop pool as the light goes over the old city's roofs, then go down to the hammam: steam, the belly stone warm under your back, the foam, the scrub.

When you step back onto the street, the Grand Bazaar, ten minutes' walk away, is closing for the day.

Why this one

Here the hammam shares a roof with a rooftop pool, an indoor pool, a sauna, a steam room and a roof terrace. A bar serves the pool and terrace, and spa guests can order food. Beethoven Premium Spa, 140 metres away, has more reviews (4.9 from 1,695) and its own pool and jacuzzi, but no terrace or bar.

Acemoğlu Hamamı, 60 metres away, is older (it dates from the reign of Mehmed the Conqueror) and has its own pool and jacuzzi. It has no terrace and no bar, which is why Rise comes first on our rules.

What guests notice

“My husband and I got a massage service and we were very satisfied. It was an advantage for us to have a double room.”

Zeynep Akbalık, Google review

“Very nice spa, free entrance for hotel guests. Sauna and swimming pool, you can also order for a massage or hammam.”

Skip it if

You want a building with five centuries behind it. Walk 60 metres to Acemoğlu Hamamı instead.
