Launched in 2014, this luxurious [Finnair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finnair) lounge at Helsinki airport boasts a health spa featuring a unisex Finnish sauna. The dynamic airport lounge is part business center and part indulgent health spa, providing a place for business travelers to both rejuvenate the mind and body and get some work done before a flight.

In addition to the Finnish sauna, the design-focused lounge also boasts private shower suites that include plush towels, forest berry-inspired shampoos and toiletries from Finnish brands. The brightly lit airport lounge is part of a growing overhaul of the business travel experience that puts relaxation and well-being first.

Designed by dSign Vertti Kivi & Co, the Finnair space complements the original airline lounge and is infused with high-tech features that contribute to the luxury experience.
