Frommer's Review
More visitors from the United States and Japan stay here than at any other hotel in Finland, joining the ranks of politicians and rock stars. Originally built in 1887, with a newer wing added in the 1960s and a radical upgrade shortly before its "rebirth" in 1999, the hotel lies behind an ornate red stone facade that's immediately adjacent to the city's most prestigious boulevard. Public areas are appropriately opulent, a combination of turn-of-the-20th-century grandeur and conservatively traditional decors, with lots of glistening hardwoods and polished stone. The large guest rooms are lavishly outfitted with elaborate curtains and reproductions of furniture from the early 19th century. Each bathroom is beautifully kept, with showers or tubs. Service, as you'd expect, is superb.
Facilities:

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
