Hotel Indigo Helsinki – Boulevard

Just ten minutes away from Helsinki’s iconic Market Square, Hotel Indigo Helsinki – Boulevard is situated in the city’s eclectic and energetic Design District. While its tree-lined streets give an appearance of historic European class, a thriving creative community bubbles beneath the surface. A quick walk through the neighborhood offers access to hip restaurants, edgy galleries, and the Alexander Theatre, a Finnish cultural icon that is home to everything from classic operas to local comedy shows. Design takes a leading role in the lobby and rooms at Hotel Indigo, where Scandinavian style is in full force. Light abounds in each of the hotel’s 120 rooms, with large windows taking advantage of Finland’s phenomenal summer sun. You may be taken aback by the decor; many Hotel Indigo rooms feature large, quirky wall murals.

GLO Hotel Art

Similar in style and situation to the Hotel Indigo, Helsinki’s GLO Hotel Art stands out with its magnificent building. Around the corner from Hotel Indigo in the Design District, GLO Hotel Art is housed in an Art Nouveau castle dating back to the early 1900s. Nowhere can you enjoy it more than in the hotel’s cellar restaurant, the GLO Art Kitchen; an array of Finnish flavors can be found on this dinner-only menu. In town on business? Splurge a bit on a GLO Luxe room with gorgeous wood features and a simple Scandinavian design work desk you’ll want to take back home. Cool off after a long day in the sun under your own rainfall shower, then sleep late the next morning with the aid of very-necessary blackout curtains. Not one to waste the day? Go for a 4:30AM jog and enjoy the impossibly early sunrise of Helsinki’s summer.
