Scandic Marski Hotel

Scandinavian explorer's hotel in Helsinki

Travelers who are looking to stay right on the pulse of Helsinki's downtown, tourist and business areas will appreciate the Scandic Marski. This is a memorable hotel, perfect for city-loving travelers on holiday or a business trip.  Scandic Marski is on Mannerheimintie, near Helsinki's best shopping and sightseeing, as well as many corporate offices.  Take a stroll through Esplanade Park and then have lunch at a nearby restaurant, café, or other charming spot.

If you get tired of walking to different attractions, Scandic Marksi provides free bicycles on request to all guests, making it even easier to get around without the hassle of taking a car.  The gorgeous Uspenski Cathedral and waterfront area are easy to reach by either foot or bike.

Chic bar with views of Helsinki

This Helsinki hotel was built and furnished in the traditional Scandinavian style, with minimalist design and charming wood floors.  The property doesn't just look the part, though.  Hit one of the three saunas to purify your body, work out in the gym or visit the on-site grocery store, a truly rare convenience.  The hotel offers free breakfast every morning, and guests can enjoy light, vibrant Italian cuisine at the on-site Marski Bar and Restaurant.

More specific guest needs are met in spades as well.  For instance, thinking of taking the kids along?  Younger kids will definitely enjoy the play modules which come with puzzles, video games and other types of entertainment.  Business travelers can use one of the seven meeting rooms and a conference space which can accommodate up to 300 people.

Authentic Scandinavian room decor

Scandic Marski is a fine deal considering the clean, convenient property and prime location, but it’s the quality of the rooms that make a great deal and dream for budget-oriented travelers.  Spoil yourself and your fellow travelers with crisp linens, pleasant decor and polished wood floors. 

Store your belongings in the safe, surf the Internet for free and enjoy a drink at the minibar.  If you happen to need cribs, infant beds or anything else during your stay, don't hesitate to ask the friendly, experienced staff.

The bottom line

Like Scandic Park Marski and Scandic Simonkenttä, the Scandic Marski is a truly authentic Scandinavian-style hotel.  All rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, which overlook the city or the peaceful courtyard. If you have a preference, be sure to make you request when booking your room.  The Scandic Marski hotel also allows pets.
