the opportunity to stay inside an iconic architectural masterpiece

Sean Australia

Opportunity to stay over inside a unique Alvar Aalto building and experience the atmosphere of the architecture. Welcoming reception by the property manager and the building is located in a unique area (island).

Brilliant to get the Aalto cultural heritage feeling! A rare opportunity to experience sleeping in a real Aalto bedroom.

It’s a worthy and meaningful experience of staying in one of Aalto’s important work. Very grateful for the perfect maintenance of this building thanks to the kind and professional owner. The owner gave us a good guidance of this building and shared about his deep research of Alvar Aalto. The room is bright, clean and quiet, and there is a small sauna open twice a week. Good Cafè for breakfast. Very close for the visit of the experimental house of Aalto. Most importantly, every visit and stay will be a great help for keeping this beautiful building in a good state!

Erittäin siisti ja rauhallinen huone. Pidin siitä, että oli sisustettu Alvar Aalto-tyyliin, tekstiilejä myöten. Mukavaa että oli huomioitu lukutoukat; kirjahyllystä löytyi kaikenlaista lukemista, myös lapsille. Harmi vaan, etten viipynyt pitempään. Valitsin Säynätsalon, koska pidän paikasta kovasti, vesi ympäröi aluetta joka puolelta.

Rauhallinen, siisti. Aallon punatiiliympäristö tutuntuntuinen. Tutustumismahdollisuus kunnantaloon ehdoton valtti.

There is absolutely nothing to not like about staying at Säynätsalo Townhall - if you know what it is. It's an architectural icon in a small quiet town, filled once again with life by a dedicated caretaker. While international afficionados take the tour, you can actually spend a night or more in one of the apartments - in one of Alvar Aalto's main buildings, one that shows such much about what his architecture, his thought was about. The host is exceptionally friendly (you can buy his very readable book on the building and Aalto in the book store), and there is the fabulous aa-bakery right there for very tasty breakfasts. Easy parking, excellent communications, caring caretaker, apartment with all one needs - plus great walks in this quiet community to the near-by harbour or on more natural trails. A large supermarket is just across the street.
