08:00: Nourishing organic breakfast

What better way to kick off the day than with a nutritious breakfast? At Hotel F6, breakfast is always included in your booking, and the hotel has become famous for its healthy and hearty organic food crafted from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Prepared in front of the guests, the home-style breakfast includes everything from classic eggs, croissants, and bread to Finnish favourites like porridge and Karelian pasties.

Wash it down with a cup of great coffee or a refreshing glass of orange juice, and you’re all set to tackle the day ahead.

09:00: Work in the tranquil courtyard

We’ve officially entered summertime, which means enjoying the warmth and invigorating ambience as much as possible. Hotel F6’s lush and serene courtyard offers the ultimate place to get work done while basking in the fresh air. Grab your laptop and head downstairs, where the day will undoubtedly swing by faster than at any stuffy office space or meeting room. Feeling famished? The hotel has partnered with food delivery company Wolt, which can deliver a tasty plate from any restaurant in town straight to the courtyard.

17:00: A quick pick-me-up workout

After a long work day, the best pick-me-up comes through a rejuvenating workout. All Hotel F6 guests can enjoy a complimentary session at the site’s fully equipped gym. Complete a quick jog on the treadmill or a spin to revive your energy levels, or opt for a soothing yoga session if you’re in the mood for something calmer.

19:00: Drinks at the bar to finish off the day

As the day draws to an end, a little treat in the form of a delicious cocktail or a sublime glass of wine is the perfect way to end a hectic day. At Hotel F6’s award-winning bar Runar – named after the Finnish architect Runar Finnilä – guests can choose from an extensive drink list comprising something for everyone, including refreshing non-alcoholic options. Fun fact: some of the herbs used in Runar’s drinks are grown on-site in a greenhouse looked after by the hotel’s owner, Mia.
