It would be a pity to visit Helsinki without sampling the Finnish sauna culture. In this Northern European country, it’s thought a regular steam is essential for physical and spiritual cleansing, but why stop there? Go for a full-on pamper session by booking into one of these top spa hotels in Helsinki.

GLO occupies a prime location right next to the historic main road in the heart of Helsinki. Scandinavian decor is all the rage at this lifestyle hotel, with wooden floors, open-plan designs and bold furniture. Try one of the six GLO studios, themed after imaginary Helsinki residents and decked in Finnish design, with kitchenettes and workspaces. GLO is located right next to Kämp Spa, and, as it’s part of the same hotel group, guests can access the saunas and relaxation areas and book a wellness treatment.

Loved by celebrities including Bruce Springsteen, Kämp is a five-star hotel set in a 19th-century architectural marvel. From the marble columns and fine art to an ornate mirror room used to hold events, the hotel oozes elegance. The same applies to the spa, where you can enjoy a traditional Finnish sauna and eucalyptus steam baths, then relax on heated divans. For pure indulgence, the massage menu includes hot stone and Balinese varieties, which you can team with a facial or foot treatment.
