Review by hotel critic
As a sustainability advocate and Nordic model enthusiast, I recently embarked on a gourmet getaway at Sokos Hotel, nestled in the heart of the city. The eco-friendly ethos resonated with me, and I was delighted by the culinary innovation on offer.Arriving at the hotel with a penchant for early mornings, I requested my breakfast to be served at dawn to witness the city's awakening. Despite some food allergies, the friendly staff ensured my dining experience was seamless.For dinner, I chose the buffet lunch at the rooftop restaurant with tables set next to wide curved windows, offering unparalleled city views. The gastronomic journey was a delight, knowing this unique location once served the first Coca-Cola.After dinner, the bar's ambiance was perfect for enjoying drinks, overlooking Helsinki's bustling city center. An unforgettable experience, blending sustainability, culinary delights, and breathtaking views. Sokos Hotel truly exceeded expectations.
