Destination...Helsinki

Helsinki is an eclectic mix of East and West, set on a peninsula in the Gulf of Finland.  A neo-classical gem with an art nouveau quarter, laced with Alvar Aalto's spectacular modern architecture. Discover smart pavement cafés on Esplanade, gourmet restaurants at a fraction of London prices, and concerts and ballet at Finlandia Hall.

Enchanting art nouveau Jugenstil buildings and the onion spires of the Orthodox cathedral are on your doorstep and the sea is near. This is a good retreat for city explorations.

Tallinn

With Estonia's enchanting capital just a 2hr ferry ride across the bay and the ferry port just 450m fro your hotel why not spend a day wandering through its famously magical streets?

Tallinn has an enchanting medieval old town which is exceptionally well preserved. Spend a day soaking up the historical atmosphere that permeates every street in its multiple cobbled streets that converge at the Platz Town Hall (Plaza del Ayuntamiento). Particular points of interest are the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky and the Parliament where you will find some of the best panoramic views stretching over the city's jumble of gable roofed merchant's houses, narrow cobbled streets, concealed courtyards and fortified buildings. 

Your Hotel

A unique property in an excellent location.  What more could you ask for? This former prison has metamorphosed into an inviting hotel where original characteristics such a barred windows and iron staircase are complimented by plush furnishings and splashes of colour.

Take advantage of the state-of-the-art gym, open 24 hours a day, or relax in the complimentary weekend sauna. Renting bicycles from the reception is a popular choice on a sunny day, and when the weather turns children can play in the indoor play-room. 

Hotel Katajanokka has a refreshingly authentic, welcoming character, belying its historic function as a jail dating from the 19th century.
