Property details
- Perfectly central: For a short break in Helsinki, the location of the NH Collection Grand Hansa Helsinki can’t be beaten. The hotel is split across two architecturally significant heritage buildings just three minutes’ walk from the central station, for easy access to the airport and a long list of fabulous sights. The capital city is famously walkable (or you could hop on a tram), and after long days’ exploring you can bed down luxuriously appointed rooms and suites with Scandi-style touches and all the mod cons you could possibly need.
- Sample Finnish delicacies: Tuck into a delectable array of traditional Finnish dishes and international flavours at the hotel’s own restaurant, Hansa Café Bar and Brasserie, which attracts locals and guests with its thoughtfully crafted menus packed with local ingredients: poached trout in mussel sauce, lobster soup, marbled sirloin steak. Breakfasts feature homemade jams and pastries plus the ubiquitous smoked fish (try it! It’s delicious) and there’s a modern bar for pre-dinner drinks, and a cocktail bar in the dome-topped tower with 360-degree views of the city.
- Holistic spa therapies: The hotel’s Usva spa is inspired by traditional treatments, designed to rebalance body and mind throughout the seasons. Head to the dedicated sauna area to learn the Finnish art of sauna, or push the boat out with spa treatments and massages (fees apply) – perhaps a smoothing scrub or a restorative facial? You’ll also have access to state-of-the-art fitness facilities in the gym, if you need to stay on track while you travel.
How to get there
The hotel is around a 30-minute drive from Helsinki Airport. You can also take the train from the airport to Helsinki Central Station and then walk 500 metres to the hotel; the whole journey takes about 45 minutes.

NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa, Mannerheimintie 5, 00100 Helsinki, Finland
While there are all the hallmarks of minimalist Scandi chic to be found it its elegant hotels and independent stores, you’ll also find quirky examples of Finland’s quaint design, always executed with a dash of humour. Head to the famous design district to browse the upscale stores for style inspo; learn about the history of Finnish design in the Design Museum, and head to cool, colourful Marimekko to snap up patterned homewares and clothing. If you’re an architecture buff, you’ll love discovering Helsinki’s collection of Art Nouveau buildings, and if contemporary stuff is more your thing, check out the curves and serene lines of the always-peaceful Kamppi Chapel of Silence.
Refuel after your excursions on mouth-watering Finnish cuisine – think grilled sausages, soft and sweet pulla buns, the freshest seafood you’ll ever taste and the uniquely Nordic delicacy, salted liquorice. On the long summer nights where the sun barely slips below the horizon, you’ll find the city come alive with locals and visitors alike flocking to alfresco bars and clubs where you’ll get the chance to dance beneath the midnight sun. After a late night, there’s no better cure for a jaded head than a good sweat in one of the city’s many urban saunas, open to the public.
