 Great Travels

Finnish Hotels: Luxury Touring and Lodging Travelers don't come to Finland to look for luxury travel, in the full sense of that word, though there are luxuries to be enjoyed. First, there are excellent and very frequent steamers from Stockholm to Turku (Abo) and from Stockholm to Helsinki; or you may fly in swift comfort from the Swedish to the Finnish capital by SAS (many flights daily) or by Pan American. Within Finland, you may fly from Helsinki to nine Finnish towns by Finnish Airlines Company Aero OY.
Hotels are generally grouped in four main categories: commercial or transient hotels; resort hotels; residential hotels; and motels, or motor hotels. In the United States about 75% of the hotel rooms (excluding motels) are in commercial hotels, 16% in resort hotels (both summer and winter seasons), and the remaining 9% in residential hotels. About 80% of the American motel rooms are in commercial establishments and the remainder in resort motels.
The strongly recommendable chain of inns of the Tourist Association has been mentioned under the luxury heading, but they would fit weD, let's say, in the comfortable section. They are very good, all of them, but with the exception of Aulanko, they do not go in for outright luxury; and they are not expensive. The Tourist Association publishes a separate booklet on its own chain as well as a general booklet on all Finnish hotels.
