See Helsinki from a different perspective by staying at the traditional Finnish Rantapuisto hotel! As its name suggests - it means Beach Park in Finnish - the hotel enjoys a stunning water-front location offering stunning views of the bay, and although set within acres of forest it is just 20 minutes from the city centre - served by the efficient Helsinki metro system or can be reached by car (ample parking is provided free of charge on site). Although a 3-star hotel it has more of a resort feel as it offers a wide range of facilities such as sauna, private beach, tennis courts, a sports hall with volleyball and badminton courts, a fully-equipped gym and of course restaurants. Spacious rooms decorated in simple Finnish style, offer tv, telephone, internet connection, hairdryer and private facilities. Rantapuisto has a soothing, relaxing feel and guests can enjoy some Nordic fresh air while unwinding away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. (Guests booking a double room
