Finnair opened their brand new Platinum Wing Lounge in Helsinki over the weekend and we were on site to take a look around.
Finnair Platinum Lounge
The new platinum lounge is a part of Finnair's major Helsinki Airport renovations, including an upgrade of the business class lounge which is currently underway.
The new Platinum Lounge features a modern, Scandi take on classic Art Deco designs, with rich navy and grey upholstery, wooden and metallic accents, and lush carpets throughout.

Showers & Sauna
A Finnair lounge wouldn't be complete with a sauna, and this one is like nothing you've seen before. The same rich colour scheme and plush upholstery of the lounge is carried through to the sauna, along with a ceiling that changes colours inline with outside lighting. Nature sounds are played in the sauna and the private shower suits to provide a calming relaxing atmosphere. (Note the sauna is a uni-sex space with towels required at all times).

The changing colour of the ceiling reflects outside lighting and is complemented by nature sounds.
The stylish shower suits are stocked with luxurious skincare products and can be booked via a sophisticated booking system. Available showers are visible on the display screen, with the option to pre book your shower time, great if you have a longer stay in the lounge and would like to ensure availability towards the end of your stay. Each shower suite can be booked for 30 mins.
