A historic setting reimagined for contemporary luxury
Owned by M&L Group and operated by Hilton, the hotel occupies four preserved historic buildings designed by Finnish architects Evert Lagerspetz and Armas Siitonen. It offers 116 rooms, including 32 suites, combining Nordic minimalism with modern comfort.
Select suites feature private saunas, steam rooms, and terraces with jacuzzis, while attic duplex suites highlight original wooden beams preserved by the Finnish Heritage Agency.
Ideally situated near Helsinki Cathedral and Market Square, the property offers both a peaceful atmosphere and convenient access to major city attractions.
Nordic wellness and refined hospitality
The Peacock Bar, inspired by the Peacock Alley at Waldorf Astoria New York, transitions from a daytime dining venue to an evening cocktail bar. A new restaurant is also planned for early 2026.
Under its glass-roofed atrium, the Waldorf Astoria Spa offers a tranquil environment featuring Finnish saunas, steam rooms, cold plunge pools, jacuzzis, and four treatment rooms. Guests also have access to a fitness centre and relaxation lounge.
Each guest benefits from the brand’s signature Personal Concierge service, providing tailored assistance throughout their stay.
