The ultimate Slush week venue
Just 2 minutes from Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre — an authentic Finnish sauna oasis for your team, clients and investors.
Escape the hustle of the expo floor — the sauna is already warm and your people are on their way up.
Cozy cottage vibes, gentle steam and a venue that is 100 % private for the whole day and night.
2 minutes from the expo
Walk your team, clients or investors straight from the Messukeskus Southern Entrance to your own private venue.
A cottage in the city
Warm lounge, gentle löyly and a cooling-off terrace — the antidote to a long day on the expo floor.
100 % yours
The whole venue is private. Leave your branding up overnight and check out the next morning.
The venue
A Finnish cottage oasis in the heart of the city
Slush week is intense, fast-paced and takes place during the darkest time of the Finnish winter. After a long day of networking and pitching, there is no better way to seal the deals and reward your team than stepping into a warm, relaxing sanctuary.
While summer cottages are already closed for the winter, Sauna Pasila brings that cozy, authentic Finnish cottage atmosphere alive all year round. Host an unforgettable side event for your core team, investors or VIP clients. Enjoy our atmospheric lounge, gentle steam (löyly), soothing birdsong and relaxing board games.
It's the perfect place to loosen the ties, let your guard down and build meaningful connections in a truly memorable environment — all in Pasila, with unmatched accessibility right next to the main venue.
