ISTANBUL EDITION HOTEL

ESPA at the Istanbul EDITION Hotel

Entrance Elevator Lobby

The brand new luxury lifestyle EDITION Hotel is scheduled to operate and make its European debut in Istanbul in April 2011.  With the extraordinary, 20,000 square foot, three-floor ESPA spa,  Istanbul EDITION Hotel offers its guests an incomparable spa experience integrating beauty, health, and wellness in a setting of fine design and luxury.  An inimitable experience; a stylish immersion into breathtaking contemporary design with influences of Turkish tradition.





Hammam Scrub Room

Spread over three floors, this astonishingly large 20,000 square foot spa with the dark and opulent lighting, and dark materials, such as rich metallic woods, embossed bronze floors and walls upholstered in exquisite horsehair add a truly spectacular design atmosphere.  The play of light was one of the main components in the design inspiration of Hirsch Bedner Associates and was drawn from the faceted cut out patterns found in a traditional Turkish Hammam.  A neutral tone color scheme was applied throughout the ESPA spa as to relax the clients and provide a tone of luxury; opulent chocolate brown marble and cast bronze sinks create a deep sense of calm and warmth throughout the Turkish Hammam.

Light design has been another key component in this design inspiration; the creation of shadows and streaks of light sets the tone and the atmosphere.   The lutron system installed in the treatment rooms is programmed to have different light levels throughout the varying stages of the treatment: with a welcoming level for arrival, a very low level for treatment, another level for showering, and a level for relaxation.  The spa has both passive and active spaces, and the light levels reflect each space with the fitness room being the brightest.

The Hammam, a truly focal and traditional element of Turkish culture combines the functionality and the structural elements of its predecessors in Anatolia, the Roman thermae and Byzantine baths, with the Central Asian Turkish tradition of steam bathing, ritual cleansing and respect of water.  The Turkish Hammam becomes an intimate and exclusive haven at the ESPA spa; an experience where design meets rejuvenation to soothe the mind and cleanse the body.  The alluring design and the opulent spaces make the guests feel indulged and protected; a spa design that creates an unforgettable experience.
