Clarion Hotel Helsinki
The top-floor Skyroom bar and swimming pool of this quayside hotel, one of Helsinki's trendiest, offer one of the best all-around panoramas of the city, especially at sunset. The Clarion occupies two towers on the edge of the Länsisatama (West Harbour) shipyard area of Hietalahti and the new Ruoholahti and Jätkäsaari suburbs. Bedrooms are sleek and quiet, and central Helsinki is a 10-to-15-minute tram ride away, while ferry terminals for Tallinn are a five-minute tram hop from the spacious reception. The Kitchen & Table restaurant is highly rated and serves an excellent buffet breakfast, always included.
