The heart of Finnish culture
To really get a feel for Finland, the sauna is the place to start. For generations, it’s been a welcoming space for physical cleansing and simply being together. When you stay at our hotels with a sauna in Finland, you’re stepping into a local way of life.
Why choose a hotel with a sauna in Finland?
Staying where there’s a sauna makes your trip even better and offers plenty of simple joys:
Deep relaxation: Soothes your muscles after a day of walking or exploring.
Health and wellness: Regular use helps with circulation and stress, leaving you feeling great.
A genuine experience: Share in a local custom by enjoying the "löyly" or steam.
What to expect at Scandic
We love offering diverse sauna experiences that fit right in with our local neighborhoods. While every hotel is a little different, we’re happy to share what you can generally look forward to when you look for hotels with saunas in Finland with us.
Great views and city lights
In our city spots like downtown Helsinki or Tampere or Turku, you’ll find many of our saunas up on the top floors. Picture yourself enjoying the gentle heat while looking out over the city rooftops or the harbor.
Pool and sauna combinations
If you enjoy a swim, many of our hotels have a pool right next to the sauna area. It’s a wonderful way to swim a few laps before warming up, and they always tend to be a hit with families who want to have some fun together.
Your own personal sauna
If you’d prefer a quiet moment to yourself, check out our rooms that come with their own personal sauna. Having a private experience right in your room means you can enjoy the steam whenever you like, completely on your own schedule.
