Helsinki, Finland
Hotel Haven
Posh Retreat
What it is
A traditionally appointed 137 room hotel just off the harbor, with a restaurant in a centuries-old stone building, an iconic weekend brunch, and a bar with a flickering fire.
What it isn't
Phoning it in. The business capabilities here are topnotch, whether you need to book an auditorium for 62 guests or are just looking for zippy free WiFi.
What we think
You will feel Pampered with a capital P at Hotel Haven, which more than lives up to its moniker. Each and every guest room is chockablock with luxuries, including fluffy down duvets, Byredo toiletries, robes and slippers, a coffee and tea station, and so much more. Rooms begin at just 269 square feet but can feel opulent thanks to soft velvets, thick draperies and abundant lighting sources within each space. You can’t go wrong with the Grand Deluxe Harbour Seaview, where you can watch yachts and cruise ships bob on the water from your spacious living room—and you’ll be treated to a cocktail at Bar Haven when you check-in.
You're here because
The hotel maintains a stellar gym and yoga room stocked with all manner of machines (from treadmills to rowing) that is open 24/7—perfect for working off your korvapuust cinnamon buns.
The Moment
The breakfast croissant you’re indulging in at the hotel’s restaurant is buttery, Parisian perfection…made all the more perfect under the intricately carved ceiling and twinkling chandelier. Hotel Haven? More like hotel heaven.
