A Fresh Idea for Your Urban Getaway: Helsinki's Klaus K

Where: Bulevardi 2, Helsinki, Finland, 00120

Helsinki: perhaps not the first city that comes to mind for an urban getaway, but you’d be missing out if you went with your instincts. Helsinki in the summer is magical, and it’s also exceedingly trendy (not for nothing is it called “the design capital of Europe”, don’t you know).

The Klaus K is one of the trendiest hotels in town — and, having stayed there last year, we can see why. It’s super — themed around the Finnish national epic poem with great decor and the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever been party to.

To encourage you to come this summer, they have an Urban Getaway Package which includes a double room, glass of champagne on arrival, dinner for two, movie tickets (nice thought, even if you won’t use those), drinks vouchers at the inhouse Ahko Club, and a shopping discount card.

Needless to say, the package also includes breakfast. They call it The Best of Finland and believe us, they’re not joking. We’re still dreaming about the smoked reindeer meat.

The Urban Getaway starts at €250 (around $350) and is valid Friday to Sunday until August 2nd. Book three days ahead. Standard rooms start at €125 (about $175).
