Stepping into the heart of Finland’s capital, the NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa unveils a masterful blend of heritage and modernity.

This new gem in Helsinki’s crown marries two historically significant buildings—the New Student House and Hotel Seurahuone, a beacon of Finnish culture and social life since the early 20th century.

Located centrally, the hotel offers easy access to Helsinki’s finest restaurants, shopping, cultural experiences, and museums.

The NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa embodies everything the brand is celebrated for: prime locations, rich histories, timeless charm, delightful cuisine with a local twist, and impeccable service.

 

A Historic Milestone

The NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa opened its doors on May 16, 2024, marking the brand’s Finnish debut and becoming the second NH Collection hotel in the Nordics after NH Collection Copenhagen.

The hotel provides a setting for unforgettable experiences, combining two iconic buildings: the Art Nouveau-style New Student House from 1910 and Seurahuone, Helsinki’s oldest continuously operating hotel, established in 1833 and relocated in 1913. The careful renovation has preserved the buildings’ historical essence while introducing modern luxury, maintaining a proud legacy of hospitality.

 

Elegance and convenience

Within its storied walls, the hotel features 224 guest rooms and suites, including an opulent 160-square-metre presidential suite, offering unparalleled comfort and modern luxury.

Just a three-minute walk from the Central Railway Station, with trains to and from Helsinki Airport, the hotel is also situated on one of the city’s busiest shopping streets. Cultural attractions like the Amos Rex, Ateneum, and Kiasma art museums are a short stroll away, along with Helsinki’s top restaurants.

 

Culinary excellence

A hallmark of the NH Collection experience is its culinary offerings. The Hansa Café Bar & Brasserie invites guests on a gastronomic journey through the region’s flavours, combining classic French cuisine with sustainably sourced local ingredients.

Kupoli bar, set in the historic dome-shaped tower with a 360-degree city view, will open in August 2024, promising to elevate the cocktail experience to new heights with its meticulously curated drinks.

 

Wellness and relaxation

The hotel’s spa preserves Finnish wellness traditions, translating age-old treatments into modern experiences. Guests can enjoy the Finnish sauna, steam room, infrared sauna, and a fully equipped gym. Guided sauna experiences and wellness treatments are available upon request, ensuring relaxation and rejuvenation for all.

 

Events and celebrations

With over 700 square metres of event space and nine fully equipped meeting rooms, NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa is perfect for any event, from client presentations and executive meetings to seminars, conferences, and private celebrations. The historic Ballroom, a venue for high-end events since the early 20th century, adds a touch of grandeur to any gathering.

Exploring Helsinki

Set along 131 kilometres of shoreline and with 40% of the city covered by parks and natural greenery, Helsinki offers a unique mix of urbanity and nature.

The NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa facilitates exploration of the city and beyond, with easy access to national parks, the Helsinki archipelago, and cultural attractions. From cozy cafes with traditional Finnish pastries to Michelin-starred restaurants, Helsinki caters to every palate.

 

A legacy continued

In the heart of Helsinki, the NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa proudly follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, providing world-class hospitality and shaping the city’s cultural landscape for the future.
