We are currently renovating bathrooms at Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki. The renovation will be carried out in phases so that the hotel and restaurant 10. Kerros remain open as usual. We aim to minimize any impact from the renovation and ensure our guests’ comfort. Work will be paused during evenings and weekends to avoid disturbance to hotel guests.
