Helsinki\u2019s hotels are much like the city itself: stylish, surprising and full of stories. The city\u2019s diversity shines through the windows of its hotels. You can choose a room overlooking a leafy park or watch the capital\u2019s hustle and bustle and its iconic trams, see trains heading off to the far reaches of Finland or get lost in the view of cruise ships circling the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n
Hotel prices in Helsinki have risen in recent years, so one of the most important criteria for making this list was value for money. There are no overpriced stays here \u2013 just genuinely good options, whether you\u2019re after something easy on the wallet or a more premium experience.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve explored Helsinki\u2019s hotel scene to hand-pick the very best. These are the places we\u2019d recommend to our friends, and where we\u2019d head for a staycation when we want to see Helsinki through a traveller\u2019s eyes. You\u2019ll find everything from beloved city-centre classics to hidden gems on the city\u2019s fringes \u2013 chain hotels with pleasant surprises, cherished old favourites and unique independents. In short, the very best of the capital\u2019s hotel scene.<\/p>\n
