Clarion Hotel Helsinki is the modern landmark of Jätkäsaari, the new harbour district on the western edge of the centre. Opened in 2016 at Tyynenmerenkatu 2, it rises 16 floors, with 425 rooms, and its top floor is the reason to stay: a heated rooftop pool, sun terrace, sauna and gym with panoramic views over the sea and the city skyline, included for guests. The Skyroom Bar on the same level is one of the best places in Helsinki for a sunset drink, The Social serves bistro dishes, and the lobby bar is staffed around the clock. The ferries to Tallinn leave from the terminal next door, and trams run to the centre in a few stops.
Living in it: perfect for a Tallinn day trip, a family break with a pool, or a winter stay where an evening sauna above the sea is the highlight.
Trade-offs: you are a tram ride, not a stroll, from the Old Town sights, and the pool has set opening hours with a midday break. Parking is charged per night.
