You are on vacation with your family and decide its time to get away from them for a while, to get some space. Walking around outside is an option but you’ve been exploring your destination all day. You decide that the hotel’s sauna room will provide the best place to get some peace and quiet. You may even sweat away that greasy burger you had for lunch and come out refreshed and rejuvenated.

Sound good? Ensure your hotel offers the convenience of a sauna by following the steps to a well researched hotel reservation.

Researching your hotel reservation

The quickest and easiest way to find hotels at your destination is to go online and visit a hotel reservation website. Do a search for the city you are traveling to and you will be presented with a list of available hotels in that area.

Narrowing down by facility

You should then choose a hotel that appeals to you and click for more information. Amongst the detailed information on the hotel will be the hotel’s:

- address
- detailed description
- photos
- map and directions
- consumer reviews
- room facilities
- hotel facilities

Under the list of hotel facilities if a sauna is available you should see “sauna”, “sauna room”, “sauna steam” or something similar. If the hotel you have chosen does not have a sauna then you should go back to the search results page and choose another hotel.

Compare hotels by facility

Another method to find hotels with a sauna is to choose three of your favorite hotels from the search results and compare the three hotels side-by-side. You can do this by ‘ticking’ the box next to each hotel’s listing in the search results then clicking the “Compare” button at the bottom of the page. This will display a list of the most popular facilities with travelers.

If the facility is available at a hotel, a ‘tick’ will be displayed next to that facility. You can then compare whether each hotel has a ‘tick’ next to “sauna” or not. The comparison tool is also handy for when all the hotels have a sauna and you want to know which other facilities each hotel provides such as a swimming pool, spa or restaurant.

Confirm

After confirming the hotel reservation online you will receive the hotel’s phone number. Give the hotel a call to ensure the hotel sauna is available for your use on the dates of your stay. You may also want to ask whether the hotel offers single sex saunas or mixed.
