This Dance Theater is located at the center of Historical peninsula of Istanbul and was converted from a 550 years old historical turkish bath called Hocapaşa Hamamı in 2008. It was originally built by Hoca Sinan Paşa who was a teacher and later vizier to Fatih Sultan Mehmet during 1470’s. It was a double bath for both men and women. It was comperatively a big bath with high dome, made of cut stone and also corner walls were designed like a peacock tail. This building served as a Turkish bath till 1988. Location of the area is called Sirkeci which is next to Topkapı Palace Walls , Sirkeci Train Station formerly known also as Orient Express Train Station and Sultanahmet Area. Hodjapasha Dance Theater has two sections. First is an exhibition and foyer area. The other section is performance area which has a circular glass dance floor and a musicians stage. Spectatator seats are located around circular dance floor and has a capacity of 220. Perfect lighting and beautiful decoration turnes this historical building to a very mystic and intim place.
Just another magnificent mosque that I happened to come across in Istanbul. Right at the end of the spice bazar, you can’t miss it

The only saving grace of this hotel is its location which is fantastic. Other than that, the bed is rock hard, there is zero soundproofing and when booking an airport transfer with them they inform you that you need cash as they don’t accept card payments. Strange for a hotel in 2026.
