BEST SPA Espa at The Istanbul Edition, Turkey HBA/Hirsch Bedner Associates, London office This three-level spa draws inspiration from Istanbul’s traditional hammams, or Turkish steam baths, with its domed ceilings with faceted cut-outs and a rich materials palette that includes embossed metal and leather flooring. The goal was to create a space where guests feel both indulged and protected, designers say. Ken Hayden Boutique Design | January+February 2012 27
