Best Luxury Hotels in Kaartinkaupunki

Hotel Haven benefits from a peaceful position beside Helsinki’s South Harbour, with the Old Market Hall and Esplanade Park just a short walk away. Despite its central location, the boutique hotel has a calm, intimate feel that offers a welcome retreat from the city outside.

Guest rooms are spacious and individually designed, with comfortable beds and elegant furnishings. Some look across the harbour, bringing Helsinki’s maritime setting into the room and providing a front-row view of the boats coming and going throughout the day.

Breakfast is served in the Sundmans building, a magnificent stone house dating back to the 1820s, where large windows overlook Market Square and the harbour. Later, guests can return to the warmth of the hotel’s lounge, where a fireplace and deep armchairs create a cosy setting for an evening drink.

The hotel also has a gym, though with Market Square, Esplanade Park and the ferries to Helsinki’s islands nearby, there are plenty of reasons to get out and explore on foot.
