Making its home in one Helsinki’s Design District and one of the most historic streets in the city, Hotel Indigo reflects its creative neighbourhood with local artwork furnishing its walls.
EAT
A complimentary, hearty breakfast buffet offers fresh and local delicacies, including sausages, bacon and egg, fresh breads and pastries, porridge, fresh and dried fruits, cold cuts, fish, cheeses and a cooked-to-order menu features items such as croquet monsieur and omelette spiced with truffle.
For dinner, the Restaurant Brod Punavuori offers generous portions of Scandinavian dishes with European and Helsinkian influences, created from high quality and locally sourced ingredients. The monthly changing menu may offer chicken liver pate with Cumberland sauce, followed by poached knuckle of lamb with parsnip puree or roasted chicken and mustard sauce, polished off by a chocolate, cardamom and orange mousse or traditional selection of Finnish cheeses with blueberry jam.
SLEEP
Contemporary rooms are furnished with flat-screen televisions, minibars, upscale bedding, tea and coffee making facilities and modern bathrooms with rainfall showers and complimentary Aveda toiletries. Many of the rooms are adorned with artwork and murals created by local artists in the neighbouring community, and the choice of an upgraded room promises extra space and living areas.
DO
When you aren’t indulging in the upscale boutiques, learning of Finland’s history in the museums, soaking up the culture of the many art galleries or exploring the sights and parks, the hotel itself can offer a bounty of things to do. Unwind in the comfortable lounge or bar, visit the hotel gym and fitness centre, or relax in the sauna and steam room at the Body, Mind and Soul Studio.
