Room in Helsinki


At this hotel, the common areas were lovely in their simplicity. I loved our view into the trees--something you get everywhere in Finland.

I especially liked the way the beds were made. The upper white layer is the duvet, with the sides folded under to make it fit on top. To sleep, of course you spread it out to its full size. The second white layer is the "mattress," covered in a clean sheet. The dust ruffle is tailored from a coarser weave. The red blankets are thick, soft fleece, manufactured in Germany.
