It's a little old-fashioned now, but quotation marks can also be used when you're quoting another language, especially a word you don't expect readers to understand. Many tourists in Istanbul visit a "hamam", or Turkish bath.
These days italics are more common, but the usage makes sense here because italics are unlikely to survive copy-pasting a title.
