Ask staff about the sun terrace in the rear courtyard — it gets sun all day and most guests don't find it on their own

Why It Matters

One of Helsinki's largest city-centre hotels in a genuinely interesting heritage building — the only Scandic property with this kind of industrial-loft character. Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified with 100% renewable electricity and recycled materials throughout.

A former 1920s printing house turned 352-room city hotel, right on the edge of Old Church Park. The building's industrial bones — high ceilings, raw textures, original structural elements — got a warm Scandinavian makeover rather than a bland renovation. Rooms lean loft-style, the restaurant doubles as a proper Italian trattoria open to the public, and the wellness suite occupies what used to be the printing works' bank vaults.
