Best Hotels in
Helsinki

Helsinki's most celebrated design hotel occupies a pair of late-19th-century buildings at the heart of the Design District, connected by a soaring glass atrium filled with contemporary Finnish art. The private cinema, exceptional restaurant, and deeply considered interiors — each room different — make it the clear choice for design-conscious travellers.
