So, the summer’s finally here and the sun barely goes down before it rises again! Wherever you go, you’ll find happy holiday-makers who’ve spent a long winter indoors and are really longing for the warm summer months. A summer in the Nordics is truly wonderful, until you feel the water…

Rooftop pool in Helsinki
At Clarion Hotel Helsinki you can take a swim with views of all of Helsinki

No, we’re not going to lie. It’s not the ideal place to come if you really love swimming. The water is cold. And you certainly don’t want to catch a cold on your summer holiday! That’s why we’ve put together a list of top swimming spots for those of you who prefer warmer waters.


Clarion Hotel® Helsinki


At Clarion Hotel® Helsinki you can take a swim in a all year round heated pool with a fantastic view of Helsinki. The pool is located on the 16th floor, at the hotel's rooftop. A part of the pool sticks out from the building, so don't swim too far if you're afraid of heights.

Avalon Hotel, Gothenburg


Like the Clarion Hotel® Helsinki, the Avalon Hotel has a pool that provides stunning views. So, jump in and gaze down at the city and the people passing by! You can even order a refreshing drink from the bar on the roof terrace. Guests staying in the suite can enjoy the pool all to themselves, both in the morning and the evening.

Farris Bad, Larvik


Come to Farris Bad to enjoy an unbeatable location right next to the sea. Part of the hotel is literally located right above the Larvik Fjord, and you’ll also find one of Scandinavia’s best spas with bathing rituals, yoga and much more! If you fancy a dip in the salty sea, then follow the steps to our swimming facilities down by the water’s edge!

Bathtub


Clarion Collection® Hotel Aurora, Tromsø


Tromsø is situated in wonderful natural surroundings. And there is no better way to admire them than from a hot tub! When you stay at the Clarion Collection® Hotel Aurora you can do just that. Enjoy fabulous views of the tree tops, midnight sun and sparkling sea from the hot tub on the top floor – this really is something not to be missed!



Clarion Hotel® Arlanda Airport, Stockholm


Don’t like the idea of flying? No worries – you don't need leave the country to enjoy a wonderful holiday with plenty of opportunity to swim! Just head to the Clarion Hotel® Arlanda Airport and try the heated outdoor pool that is ideal for lazy days just chilling in the sun! (And it’s not unheard of for conference guests to jump straight in with their clothes on after a great day of meetings!)
