Features
Free buffet breakfast, plus a funky bar, fitness center, Finnish sauna, and free Wi-Fi
A free breakfast buffet is served in a modern glass-enclosed dining hall with an intricate skylight and lots of tiny potted plants. The spread includes freshly baked pastries, fruits and vegetables, and hot and cold dishes. The bar is vibrantly colorful with 1980s-style retro neon wall art and brightly colored chairs and throw pillows. The bar is separated from the breakfast room by a curved stone wall that gives the space a cave-like underground feeling. The small fitness center has modern machines and weights plus a flat-screen TV. There is also a Finnish sauna. Both features are open 24/7 and are free for guests, and massages can be arranged for a fee. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
