Airport Facilities for Long Haul Flights

I will be in Helsinki airport for an 8 hour layover in January. I am wondering if anyone knows whether this airport has a %26#39;short-stay%26#39; hotel or bed rental facility available. I am thinking something like they have in Japan where you rent a bed and a shower for 3-4 hours? I hate to have to pay a whole night hotel for a few hours rest. Thanks!

With an 8-hour layover, you could easily get into town for a little sightseeing. Seems a pity to sleep it away.



Sitll, there are day rates, which may be what you need. Check this site for relevant info on all the airport hotels in Helsinki. http://helsinki.airporthotelguide.com/

In December they are opening a spa in the long-haul terminal for the transfer passangers. Might be a relaxing opportunity to try?

You can acquaint yourself with the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport%26#39;s Via Helsinki concept at http://viahelsinki.com/





There are two hotels directly at the hotel: scandichotels.com/en/…

You can ask them for a quote for a %26quot;day room%26quot; if you want to stay at the airport only.
