hello all..

I WANT YOUR ADVISE ABOUT WHERE TO STAY NEAR FARE CENTER,4-5 STAR HOTELS FIRST CHOICE.ANY RECOMMENDATIONS APPRECIATED.

He he, the person want hotel near the fair centre and you send him to Helka?

I think your best option is the following:
Holiday Inn
HELSINKI
MESSUAUKIO 1
HELSINKI, 00520 FINLAND
Hotel Front Desk: 358-9-150900 | Hotel Fax: 358-9-150901

It is great hotel, but during big fairs it might be already fully booked, so alternative would be Sokos Hotel Pasila
Maistraatinportti 3 , 00240 Helsinki, Finland
Tel. +358 (0)20 1234 613, Fax +358 (0)9 143 771
pasila.helsinki@sokoshotels.fi

However, if you stay in any hotels in the centre it is only 5 minutes trip and 1 train stop to the Fair Centre so it shouldn’t be any problems to get there and back anyway. For example, there is also Holiday inn in the railway station or Sokos hotel "vaakuna" which are centre located and easy to find.

Yeah, I second Gili's opinion. I stayed in Sokos Hotel Pasila couple of years ago, nice hotel in peaceful neighbourhood. Tram stop is just outside the hotel and Pasila train station also nearby. To stay somewhere near central railway station is OK, too, beacause comfy trains leave for fair center in Pasila every couple of minutes. All commuter trains stop in Pasila, second biggest station in Helsinki.

Just a little bit imagination...
And what is it you send everyone to Helka? Do you get percentages? ;-)

thank you all wonderful VTs.
