My first night in Finland was at Hotel Helka in Helsinki. The furniture & light fittings are Aalto and there's Finlandia vodka in the minibar. Watch out for bears lurking on the 6th floor though.
what, no teddy bear picnic on the 6th floor? looks like a beautiful place to stay. just realized i don't really know much about finland... obvioulsy do a nice bottled water though!
My parents stayed there a few nights when visiting me one time, I hope your room was a bit bigger than theirs, but overall the hotel did look rather nifty. Hope Helsinki has been good to you!
oh i love the bears!

ReplyDeleteSomething still and surreal in these - it seemed fitting, after I'd scrolled down, to see it was Finland after all! Beautiful.
