Find your sustainable hotel in Helsinki

Those certified by Sustainable Travel Finland also focus on waste sorting, minimising food waste, and serving seasonal ingredients. Excellent public transport makes getting around easy and environmentally friendly throughout your visit.
Social sustainability and We Speak Gay
Many Sustainable Travel Finland-certified hotels are also champions of social responsibility. They promote diversity and inclusion, offer fair working conditions, and collaborate with local organisations to provide opportunities for young people and those with limited work capacity. Many are also members of the We Speak Gay community, proudly supporting LGBTQ+ inclusion.
