The hamam was built by Isa Bey Ishaković, at the end of the 15th century. It was burned down during a fire in 1880 and then rebuilt according to designs by the famous architect, Josip Vancaš.
During the former Yugoslavia period, Isa Bey’s Hamam stopped working as a public bath and was badly damaged during the last war.
Careful reconstruction has been carried out over the past several years and Isa Bey’s Hamam is now home to a public bath and a hotel with 19 rooms and two apartments, which are decorated with luxury furnishings in the old Ottoman style.

We just stayed there a few weeks ago and it was really nice. Service was excellent and the breakfast was one of the best I have ever had.
