In a city steeped in history, the NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansaa is a welcome addition to the Finnish capital’s hospitality landscape. Set in a beautifully restored historic building, this new hotel combines heritage and modernity, providing a sophisticated retreat in the heart of Helsinki.
The Grand Hansa is a masterful amalgamation of two significant edifices: the Art Nouveau-inspired New Student House, erected in 1910, and the illustrious Hotel Seurahuone, the oldest continuously operating hotel in Helsinki. Since its establishment on the market square in 1833, Seurahuone has been a cornerstone of Finnish cultural life, embodying the elegance of Europe’s finest hotels. After an extensive renovation that honours its storied past, the Grand Hansa now proudly carries the NH Collection banner as its inaugural outpost in Finland, following the success of NH Collection Copenhagen.
Helsinki, known for its striking architecture and vibrant arts scene, has become an increasingly popular destination for tourists. With its unique blend of modern design and natural beauty, the city attracts visitors from around the globe. The Grand Hansa occupies a pivotal location, just a stone's throw from the Central Railway Station and nestled on one of the city's bustling shopping thoroughfares, the hotel places guests within easy reach of Helsinki's vibrant dining scene, cultural institutions and artistic treasures, including the renowned Amos Rex, Ateneum and Kiasma museums.
Inside, the Grand Hansa boasts 224 thoughtfully designed guest rooms and suites, including a lavish 160-square-metre presidential suite that redefines modern luxury. Each space reflects a blend of contemporary comfort and timeless charm, providing an inviting retreat for discerning travellers.
As tourism in Helsinki continues to flourish, the NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa captures the essence of the city’s vibrant spirit. With its unique blend of heritage and modern luxury, the hotel invites guests to not only enjoy a comfortable stay but to also delve into the rich tapestry of Finnish culture right at their doorstep.
