Shortly after the conquest of Istanbul, while the city was being reborn as the heart of a new empire, Fatih Sultan Mehmet entrusted its justice and administration to a visionary: Hızır Bey. As the city’s first judge (Kadi) and mayor, Hızır Bey did not just build laws; he built a sanctuary for the people.

In 1458, he laid the foundation of Hızırbey Hamamı, the very first dome built specifically for the public's well-being. This was not a private bath for the palace; it was a gift to the souls of Istanbul.

This is an upscale gay-only Turkish bath for men and they are one of the oldest Hamamı in the city.

Check out their website for a full listing of services.
