What to consider when choosing
For walks along the Lake Onega waterfront, consider Cosmos Petrozavodsk, with its sauna and small pool, or Prionezhsky, with a Finnish sauna and pool, beside the waterfront and historic quarter. Ilma has a Finnish sauna with a hot tub, and the waterfront is about a 10-minute walk away.
If you want sightseeing and treatments, consider Karelia in the city centre: it offers spa programmes, massages, a pool and saunas. For relaxation right outside your own house, Jarvi offers a lake-view option with a terrace soaking tub; Verkhovye has a wood-fired Russian sauna, but its outdoor pool opens only in summer.
Check age restrictions, children's pool hours and charges: at Ladoga, the pool, hammam, sauna and hot tub cost extra. Cosmos Petrozavodsk is convenient for family meals thanks to its restaurant's children's menu, but bear in mind that its pool is a small one in the sauna area.
