This is a symmetric space when equipped by the metric discussed in [this question][1] (it is Riemannian, when $p=2$). The metric is clearly invariant under the action; its other properties can be checked (see the references in Suvrit's nice answer to the linked question, or see one of the papers by Freitas and Friedland, e.g. MR2014882 (2004j:30086) Reviewed Friedland, Shmuel(1-ILCC-MS); Freitas, Pedro J.(P-LISBS) Revisiting the Siegel upper half plane.
