Savonlinna

A lakeshore hotel near Olavinlinna Castle with individually decorated rooms and a traditional Finnish sauna.

Savonlinna is a lake-district town on Lake Saimaa, famous for Olavinlinna, a 15th-century island fortress that hosts the annual Opera Festival. Steamboats leave from the harbor, and the shoreline has parks and cafes.

Where to stay

Boutique Hotel Willa Aria sits in a renovated late-19th-century building on the Saimaa shore, with most rooms looking over the lake and kitchenettes. Boutique Hotel Savoir is a four-star stay with a garden, terrace, sauna and jacuzzi. Hotel Hospitz is on the lakeshore near the castle, with individually decorated rooms and a traditional sauna. Original Sokos Hotel Seurahuone is a more traditional upscale option on the main square.
