Private comfort: Helsinki hotels with a sauna in your room
While many of our guests enjoy sharing the experience in our common saunas, we know that sometimes you just want some quiet time. If you’re looking for a Helsinki hotel with a sauna in your room, we’ve got several spots (like Marski by Scandic and Scandic Simonkenttä) with suites that include your own private sauna.
Booking a room with a private sauna means you can enjoy the steam whenever it suits you – start your morning with a gentle session or wind down late at night without ever leaving your suite.
How to enjoy the sauna like a local
If this is your first time in a Finnish sauna, there’s no need to worry. They’re really simple to use and we’re here to help. Here’s a quick guide to help you enjoy the amenities at our hotels in Helsinki with sauna areas:
Shower first to feel fresh and clean.
Leave your clothes behind or sit on a towel.
Check the signs to see if swimwear is needed.
Toss a little water on the stones for "löyly" steam.
Step out whenever you feel ready to cool down.
Drink plenty of water or juice afterward.
Tip: If you’re heading further north to see the Northern Lights, we also have wonderful options if you are looking for a hotel in Rovaniemi.
