The Best Hotel in Helsinki, Finland

Background Illustration for Hotels

In recent years, Helsinki has been noted for its high-end design hotels, which emphasize room decor, layout, and in-house restaurants and bars. Top hotels are notoriously expensive, generally have small rooms, and mostly cater to business travelers. Standards are high, and the level of service usually corresponds to the price. Rates can plummet by as much as 50% on weekends, and most include a generous breakfast buffet and sauna privileges.

Clarion Hotel Helsinki

$ | Tyynenmerenkatu 2, Helsinki, 00220, Finland

The top-floor Skyroom bar and swimming pool of this quayside hotel, one of Helsinki's trendiest, offer one of the best all-around panoramas of the city, especially at sunset. The Clarion occupies two towers on the edge of the Länsisatama (West Harbour) shipyard area of Hietalahti and the new Ruoholahti and Jätkäsaari suburbs. Bedrooms are sleek and quiet, and central Helsinki is a 10-to-15-minute tram ride away, while ferry terminals for Tallinn are a five-minute tram hop from the spacious reception. The Kitchen & Table restaurant is highly rated and serves an excellent buffet breakfast, always included.
