Marski by Scandic
Helsinki , Finland

The design and ethos of the newly refurbished Marski by Scandic hotel in Helsinki is intended to capture a feeling of ‘Finnfulness’, an open-minded philosophy that celebrates both the urban lifestyle and love of nature that characterizes modern Finland. The hotel interiors reference the great outdoors through a city-chic filter, with light wood floors set against stone that echoes the cliffs of the Finnish archipelago, and a palette of dark green, for the country’s lakes and forest, and rich Finnish berry red.

Guests can opt for the revitalizing indulgence of a room with its own sauna, or the equally restful option of a room with no windows, ensuring the city sounds don’t disturb. Co-living rooms combine three interconnected rooms, ideal for families or groups of friends. Marski by Scandic has been awarded the official Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification, thanks to its low energy, water and chemical consumption, with recycled materials used whenever possible.
