Hilton Hotel Kalastajatorppa

Frommer's Review

Translated from Finnish, the tongue-twisting name of this hotel means "cottage of the fisherman." It's certainly no cottage, but it is close to the water, and just 5km (3 miles) northwest of the city center. Located on a ridge of land between two arms of the sea, this pair of marble- and granite-faced buildings was designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape of birch and pines. The core of the hotel dates from 1937, and the newer sections contain some of the most modern convention facilities in Finland. The facility was upgraded in 2005. The guest rooms (last updated in 1998) are in either the main building or a seashore annex that provides panoramic views of the water. Outfitted with wood paneling and hardwood floors, units are tasteful, understated, and comfortable, with adequate bathrooms with tub/shower combinations.
