Best Luxury Hotels In Finland

Lapland, the forested lakelands, coastal towns and the capital Helsinki (known also as the Nordic hub of design) are all popular destinations in this peaceful country. A nation with a strong maritime history, water plays an important role in Finnish culture – and makes up a large part of the national geography. Its coast is home to the world’s largest archipelago and three of Finland’s seven Unesco World Heritage sites. Whether planning a tour of Scandinavia, a city break in Helsinki, a trip to see the northern lights (and midnight sun), or a sustainable vacation, here are some of our suggestions for the country’s finest accommodations.
