The Vibe: Happening.

The Area: Kamppi. On verdant Old Church Park, at the crossroads of downtown Helsinki and the charming Helsinki south district.

The DNA: Scandic Helsinki Hub is set in the impressive Tilgmann building, a printing house from the 1920s and 1930s. Vestiges of the former printing house have been elegantly preserved in the design throughout the building. Trattoria II Centro, featuring two bars, serves Italian cuisine along with a selection of vegan dishes made with authentic ingredients. Guests can enjoy these delights on the hotel’s atmospheric glassed-in terrace or at the bar that opens onto the courtyard. There is a co-working space, gym, yoga room, and this being Finland a sauna with cold water bucket showers.

Suite-Me-Up: The loft style accommodations offer a variety of special features and unique experiences, including rooms with a private terrace overlooking the hotel courtyard and junior suites with large corner windows. The rooms facing Annankatu Street also offer views of the park.

Accolades: Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
