Original Sokos Hotel Royal  

In the heart of Vaasa, steps from a leafy park and the city centre. The hotel sits along a sky bridge to movies and shopping and offers easy access to the maritime sights of Vaasa.

Completely renewed, the hotel feels like a small city within the city with a vibrant, work-or-play lobby. Rooms are modern and simple — think city views, TV, mini-bar and private showers. The rooftop sauna floor is a standout: gentle steam and breathtaking maritime views make it the place everyone wants to be. Playrooms for kids and pet-friendly rooms make this a family-friendly and pet-friendly pick.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and take advantage of an indoor pool, a separate pool area, a magnificent rooftop sauna, a 24/7 gym, a library, on-site parking and concierge services. Tour desk, laundry, dry cleaning, car rental and an elevator are also available.

Meeting and board rooms plus a business centre make work easy. Wi‑Fi keeps you connected throughout the hotel.

Multiple on-site options include Trattoria Puistikko (Italian-inspired), Babista (a new kebab culture), and Restaurant Royal for stylish breakfasts and banquets. Stop by the Central restaurant bar or O'Malley’s pub for a nightcap.
