Nisantasi is not part of the old city. It is a calm shopping and business district on the European side, known for its boutiques along Abdi Ipekci Street and the cafes of Tesvikiye. Spas here are mostly inside hotels or run as day spas, offering massage, a hammam session and skin care, rather than the historic bathhouses of Sultanahmet. The guide currently lists 17 places in the area, including Beatus Spa at Ramada Plaza, Let's Relax Spa at Riva Hotel and NEX Spa at NEX Hotel. It suits visitors staying near Taksim or Osmanbey, or anyone who wants to combine shopping with a treatment. Harbiye, Sisli and Taksim are next door.
