Scandic Hamburger Börs
Rooftop views over Market Square after the round
About this hotel
Scandic Hamburger Börs sits only a couple of minutes' walk from Turku's Market Square, right in the middle of the city's evening life rather than tucked along the coast. The rooftop bar looks out over the rooftops of central Turku, a spot that works well once the last round of the day is done and the group wants a drink with a view instead of heading straight to bed. The hotel keeps its own sauna, a Spanish restaurant and full business facilities, which means a mixed group of golfers and non-golfers alike finds something to do inside the building as well as outside it. For a golf trip that treats the city itself as part of the holiday, this address puts everything from dinner to a late drink within a short walk of the front door.

Our take
Pick Scandic Hamburger Börs if the evenings matter as much as the rounds. Market Square restaurants are steps away, the rooftop bar suits a group's last night before flying home, and the sauna and Spanish restaurant are in the building. Guests rate it 8.8 from over 1,200 reviews. Quieter couples who want to avoid city noise at night might prefer a coastal stay near Naantali.
- Head up to the rooftop bar right after checking in on your last evening, since it tends to get busy once other hotel guests finish their own dinners.
- Book the Spanish restaurant a day ahead if the whole group wants to eat together, as tables for larger parties go first during busy summer weeks.
- Walk to Market Square in the morning before an afternoon tee time, since it sits close enough to fit into a half day without rushing the golf.
Why we love it
- Rooftop bar with city views

Why guests love itI would point families to Scandic Hamburger Börs when golf at Aurinko is only part of a Turku trip. The hotel sits steps from Market Square, so restaurants and the city centre are on foot while one parent heads out to play. The sauna is a good way to end the day, and the rooftop bar gives the adults a view over the city once the children are settled. An 8.8 score from 1,231 reviews is reassuring for a city hotel of this size.
