Hotel St. George

Housed in a meticulously restored landmark structure directly across from beautiful Old Church Park in the very heart of Helsinki, Hotel St. George not only offers guests a stunningly contemporary property set within an historically rich stage, but a total revamp on the concept of what a hotel should be. A member of Design Hotels, Hotel St. George presents a new vision of luxury, crafted almost entirely by Finnish creatives, and framed by an unprecedented dedication to art.
Once home to the prestigious Finnish Literature Society, the building, which comprises 153 individual rooms and suites, was originally designed by renowned architect Onni Tarjanne, best known for creating the Finnish National Theater. At the hotel’s center one finds a Winter Garden that recalls the great 18th-century interior gardens, and which serves as gathering spot for a community of creative locals and international travelers. The property’s restaurant -Andrea- is the team effort of Finnish-Turkish chef duo, Antto Melasniemi and Mehmet Gürs, both superstars in their respective culinary scenes, while its Bakery & Bar is a major social hub.
The 153 room and suites span from 19 to 47 square meters and all offer courtyard, city, or park views. The Suites ranges between 37 to 94 square meters, respectively – all offer a living room, a bathtub, separate shower and most of the suites has a large terrace or a balcony.

Scandic’s fifth signature hotel, Marski by Scandic, is now open in the heart of Helsinki. The refurbished hotel has 363 rooms as well as meeting and event spaces, a restaurant, bar and café and a wellness center. Originally opened in 1962, the classic hotel was renovated to become a Scandic signature hotel that stands firmly on its roots of Finnfulness – the open mindedness, urban lifestyle and love of nature that personifies modern Finns.
The design and interiors of Marski by Scandic are inspired by the outdoors: the dark green Finnish woods, the thousands of lakes and the warm reds of Finnish berries. The hotel’s light wooden floors are paired with grey stone reminiscent of the cliffs in the Finnish archipelago and the furniture is a blend of modern Finnish design and influences from abroad. In the hotel rooms, Finnfulness and Helsinki are brought to life through images of nature by local photographer Seppo Alanko.
