Seurahuone, the oldest continuously operated hotel in Helsinki, and the Art Nouveau-style New Student House, constructed in 1910, form NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa, creating an ideal environment for memorable experiences. Seurahuone relocated to its present site in 1913 from its original 1833 site on the market square.
For decades, the structure set the bar for culture, social life, and hospitality in Helsinki, taking design cues from Europe’s most prestigious hotels. Now, as the first NH Collection hotel in Finland, the property carries on its illustrious tradition of hospitality following a meticulous restoration and makeover that honours its heritage. The modern traveler’s propensity for luxury and pleasure is embraced by the NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa, while the rich tradition of its surroundings is preserved.
