Helka Hotel Shuttles

Right on the cusp of Helsinki’s central Kamppi and Töölö neighborhoods, Hotel Helka offers the perfect in-between balance of natural escapes and urban wonders. Also close to the many events circulating around Finlandia Hall, business travelers can especially appreciate the classy convenience of the 1920s stay. Trendy spaces offer sleek wooden desks and ceiling art pieces above beds, while suites include in-room saunas and small living areas. Free Wi-Fi and a Scandinavian-style breakfast are also offered as complimentary perks, while general amenities include an on-site bar paired with various artworks hanging across the lobby museum-style. Get around town by taking advantage of the nearby Kauppakorkeakoulut Light Rail Station, or ensure easy arrivals with private rentals instead, whether it be a quaint sedan perfect for exploring Finland’s diverse northern outskirts or a professional meet-and-greet such as stretched limousines and taxis that drop off to Helsinki Airport without hassle.

An easy way to have fun with what’s close to the hotel is by simply gravitating east toward Finlandia Talo Huset Hall, where guests can easily learn about local Finnish culture across medieval artifacts in The National Museum of Finland and unwind with contemporary artwork showcased at Taidehalli. Other exhibits in the immediate area include the Natural History Museum’s on-site botanical garden and old fossils as well as the admirable architecture of Hakasalmi Villa. Take a break from the vast museum scene by exploring the art of nature afterward, finding tranquility through the bright greenhouses and old park benches of Kaisaniemi Park or getting to know the bright side of Finland’s coldest months at Helsinki Winter Garden. And of course, when dinnertime becomes the present, make each bite you take a gift through the hotel’s nearby access to all-you-can-eat Japanese from Ravintola Konnichiwa as well as boisterous business eats at Botta Oy Ab.
