Hilton Helsinki Strand is a waterfront hotel facing the Baltic Sea, located within a 13-minute walk from the beach. This hotel is located within one kilometer of the city center, two kilometers from the zoo, and less than two kilometers from Linnamaki Amusement Park. With a prime location, you will be within walking distance of Hakaniemi Market Square, Kaisaniemi Botanical Garden, Helsinki Cathedral, and Helsinki Central Station.
Amenities include a swimming pool, outdoor terrace and garden, fitness center, spa, and sauna. Nordic-inspired rooms feature white linens, blue accents, and plenty of natural light, with large windows overlooking the water. These modern rooms include air-conditioning, free WiFi, a work desk, minibar, and flat-screen TVs. Guests can choose between twin, queen, and king rooms, along with larger suites.

On the top floor, you will find an executive lounge with a waterfront view, breakfast in the morning, and snacks and drinks throughout the day. The onsite restaurant, Pizzorante BRO, specializes in Italian cuisine, and, more specifically, Roman-style pizza. The restaurant prepares food with fresh ingredients from Finland and Italy, but adds a Helenski twist. Pizzorante BRO is also home to the first cocktail bar in the city, serving handcrafted drinks made with homemade syrups, specializing in vodka cocktails.
Excellent customer service, plenty of nearby attractions, a fantastic restaurant and bar, and waterfront views are just a few reasons to stay at Hilton Helsinki Strand on your next Finnish getaway.

Gorgeous hotel in Central Helsinki
Loved the hotel, the location, the inclusion of a family/executive lounge with our room and the standard of light breakfasts, appetisers and drinks with it, plus the gym, pool and sauna. A really beautiful hotel!
Only that the reception staff were very professional but equally not really friendly or welcoming. By contrast the housekeeping team were lovely!

Good hotel
The location is good. Great saunas and the swimming pool. All facilities worked properly.
The temperature in the room was not easy to regulate. If you make the room warmer, it takes hours to cool it down again. The breakfast was good. The dinner a la carte also, but Christmas dinner was very poor.

Good location, walking distance to major sites. Good size room with sofa bed for children.

Fabulous
Quiet location Helpful staff Clean room Service as expected
Restaurant has very little food options for dinner and closes early, with no other restaurants close by. A little bit annoying when you come from work meetings late. No fridge in the room for same reason, difficult to keep something for late snack

It was my first time staying in Helsinki, but I'm really glad I could stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and the sofa bed was of sufficient size. When I checked in and entered the room, I felt the hospitality with the floor heating in the bathroom. It was a very pleasant service for us Japanese to be able to use slippers if we requested them at the front desk. Additionally, the breakfast had a wide variety and was delicious. It was convenient to have a supermarket nearby, and we could easily reach the city center by tram. We have fallen in love with the city of Helsinki. Thank you.

Wonderful service, helpful staff in every corner of the hotel, they try to meet all your expectations. Separate thanks to Food and Beverage manager, who showed her professional skills and organized every part of her work in a best manner. Excellent breakfast, very good sound insulation at the room - to have extremely comfort and quiet sleep. The place is perfect for stay while traveling to Helsinki.
We were surprised that we didn’t have bath-robes at our room. As we were informed we had to buy them for 20 euros. I think it is not level of Hilton, or any 5* hotel, to sell such essentials.
