Burger King has opened a spa in one of its restaurants and we’re unsure what to think.

Although the idea of nibbling on some fries as we enjoy a little quiet ‘me time’ does sound rather delicious, we think allowing people to order Whoppers to enjoy while sweating it out in the sauna might be taking it too far.

Nevertheless, the world’s first BK spa is a thing that exists on the ground floor of the Mannerheimintie branch of Burger King in Helsinki, Finland.

It contains a sauna that seats 15, because the Finns do love a sauna.


According to the dedicated website, the sauna is ‘perfect for social gatherings or work’. Yes, perfect for work. Please consider it for your next team away day – what could be more conducive to team building than enjoying Whopper meals as you sit side by side, your skin slick with sweat, in a steaming hot room?

The sauna even comes equipped with a 48″ TV, which presumably can be hooked up for PowerPoint presentation, as well as selection of branded Burger King towels.



Next door, you will find the spa’s media lounge, which has a 55″ giant screen and Playstation 4. Because what spa is complete without a Playstation?

There’s also a shower room, a locker room and a toilet attached.

And the best, (or worst), bit is you can order in.

You just place your order when you arrive and soon you could be enjoying a Double Whopper while you cleanse your pores.

Like we say, it’s hard to know whether this is an inspired idea, or a really terrible one.

If you are interested in booking an away day to Helsinki, the spa costs €250 (£200) to hire for three hours. You can book here.
