Seasonal variations add a tasty touch to the breakfast table, not forgetting delicacies made by local and domestic small producers.

Breakfast of northern flavors is available in all our hotels throughout Finland – from Helsinki to Kilpisjärvi. Breakfast is always included in the room rate. You are warmly welcome to enjoy breakfast even without staying at the hotel. For city hotels' breakfast, we recommend booking a table in advance.
