Intro
Authentically South Karelian
Original Sokos Hotel Lappee is located in the heart of the IsoKristiina shopping centre, close to services, attractions and city events. The invigorating lake nature of Saimaa is also just a short distance away.
Even in autumn, the Market Square and Harbour offer memorable culinary experiences. The market stalls serve local delicacies, including vety, one of the region's traditional specialties. The historic Fortress area, with its museums, invites you on a journey back in time. We also recommend enjoying lunch at Kehruuhuone in the Fortress, a truly memorable dining experience in a unique historical setting.
For an enjoyable day trip, we recommend charming Pulsan Asema, located just a 30-minute drive from the hotel. It was awarded Finland's Domestic Travel Destination of the Year 2025 at the Finnish Travel Gala. Another excellent autumn excursion is Restaurant Kippurasarvi in Lemi. Its signature dish, "särä", a traditional lamb delicacy prepared according to centuries-old methods, is one of the region's most renowned culinary specialties.
Our hotel features a small fitness room and a cosy sauna area with a swimming pool. They provide a perfect opportunity to relax and recharge, especially for families with children. Dining options are available for every taste, including Rosso, VENN, Coffee House and Hesburger. The hotel's themed rooms, Pihka and Paatti, tell the story of Lake Saimaa and invite travellers to unwind after an active day.
