Новый год в Иматре New Year in Imatra

Hotel Imatran Kylpyl? 4+, Imatra, Finland - decided to celebrate the New Year in Finland and did not regret it. We got there relatively quickly, except for traffic jams through the whole of Svetogorsk in the morning, but the bus passed almost without a queue. As usual, a walk through the center, shops and check-in at the hotel. Gathering of tourists for the New Year (gala dinner) at 2200 local time, 2300 Moscow time. So the New Year was celebrated twice - locally and Moscow time. I must say, the dinner was worthy, there was almost everything that is usually prepared for such an event and even more. In addition to the first, second courses and salads, excellent desserts, including pastries, cakes, nuts and fruits. The tables were pre-booked by the tour operator, so there was no crush and crush. For each couple, a small bottle of champagne, the rest through the bar or whoever was smarter brought it with them. In addition to dinner, there was a concert and fireworks. Both also liked it. At one in the morning or at two o'clock Moscow time, the celebration ended, but no one was forcibly kicked out, you could sit both in the common room and in the bar. The impression is amazing, everything is calm, decorous and noble. The next morning, as usual, there were no drunks in the pool and SPA procedures, no one was lying in excrement. True, construction is underway on the territory of the hotel, they want to finish building in the annex, to the common pool, water slides, they say, they will finish by June this year, they don’t indulge in long-term construction. In general, I liked everything very much, as usual, the hotel turned out to be on top. Next New Year, if everything goes well, we will definitely go again.
