Exquisite, luxurious, and always welcoming – this is the ethos behind The Hotel Maria, located in Helsinki’s city centre. The hotel offers guests a stay in a five-star setting, coupled with first-class service.
The Hotel Maria is located in the historic Kruununhaka district, near the Presidential Palace and iconic Senate Square. The newly-opened hotel’s design and décor are timeless and elegant. It consists of four historical buildings, built between 1885 and 1930, and is protected by the Finnish Heritage Agency.
“We’re proud to be part of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts Legend Collection, which includes the world’s most celebrated independent hotels and resorts,” says Katriina Moksi, The Hotel Maria’s general manager. “We offer guests a five-star hotel experience in a wonderful setting.”
Indulge in luxury and Nordic hospitality
The Hotel Maria boasts 117 rooms, including 38 private suites. “For us, providing a comfortable stay for our guests is of utmost importance, which is why our rooms are spacious and our beds are big and comfortable,” Moksi explains. “We do our best to fulfil our guests’ wishes, and there are also two concierges and a wellness concierge who can curate a tailor-made wellness programme for guests.”
Out of the 38 suites, 19 have a traditional Finnish sauna or a steam sauna. The largest suite, the Imperial Suite, and the Penthouse Suites include a private butler and breakfast served to the room. The hotel’s spa has a comprehensive treatment menu and provides the ideal setting for guests to unwind: the spa has a plunge pool, a large hot tub, a cold dip pool, a traditional Finnish sauna as well as a steam room.
The Hotel Maria’s restaurant Lilja offers guests a fine dining experience inspired by French cuisine, sourcing the finest ingredients and an extensive wine list, including 31 different champagnes. The Garden Terrace is a brasserie-style all-day-dining restaurant. In addition, Bar Maria’s signature cocktails are tailor-made by the hotel’s talented bartenders.
Elevate your events to the next level
The Hotel Maria also has an array of elegant event and meeting spaces to suit guests’ needs, and the stunning Maria Ballroom can host up to 100 people. The hotel encapsulates the finest elements of Nordic hospitality and its blend of historical elegance, impeccable service, and modern amenities make it a premier destination in Helsinki. “Whether it’s a Helsinki wedding, a family occasion or an important business conference, our highly experienced team will help you create a remarkable event,” the general manager concludes.
