In Yekaterinburg, combine sightseeing with spa time, or head out of town to unwind among the pines. Choose between a sauna for the evening and a hotel with a pool and treatments.
Renomme is a good choice for exploring Vaynera Street: it is a five-minute walk away, and the hotel has a Finnish sauna and steam room. Hyatt Regency is a few minutes’ walk from the Yeltsin Center and offers a hammam, sauna and indoor pool with panoramic city views.
In the city, it is easy to alternate sightseeing with spa time: at Grand Hall, for example, access to the spa with its indoor pool and sauna is free for hotel guests. For a countryside stay among the pines, Greenwald by USTA Hotels has a heated outdoor pool, while Amaks EcoPark Yekaterinburg offers a 20-metre indoor pool with forest views.
Look beyond the spa to what children can do: Renomme, for example, has a playground in its courtyard. Before booking, check age restrictions and children’s access hours for pools and saunas, along with any entry fees: at Aist, spa access costs extra and requires advance booking.
