My favorite thing to do at Hotel Maria is: have lunch or dinner at our Garden Terrace restaurant. In the summertime, the seating is extended outdoors in the inner courtyard, a perfect setting for a dining experience, a cup of coffee or a glass of Champagne. In the wintertime, the restaurant is a great venue for enjoying a relaxed meal or hot drink and watching the romantic, snowy scenery.

The most unique way I’ve experienced the sauna culture in Helsinki is: at Loyly, where you can dip in the sea after the sauna — even in the winter if you are brave — or at Allas Sea Pool, where you can choose to dip in a year-round heated pool or an unheated sea-water pool after your sauna.

My favorite day trip from Helsinki is: Finland’s vast lake district, which contains 188,000 lakes. I grew up by one of the bigger lakes, Lake Mallasvesi, and living by the water is part of my DNA. The closest lakes are only about a one-hour drive from Helsinki. We are also lucky to have so much natural water in Finland, and we have the best-tasting and cleanest tap water in the world — by far.

Something that surprises visitors to Helsinki is: how compact the city is, with a center that is easy to explore on foot. The public transportation system is also great and taking a tram is a wonderful way to explore. Visitors also get surprised by how friendly the locals are and how almost everyone speaks English.
