Hotel St. George, Helsinki

Yrjönkatu 13, Kamppi, 00120 Helsinki, Finland. (show on map)

Hotel St. George is a stunning luxury hotel in central Helsinki, situated right across from the tranquil Old Church Park. Housed in a majestic building with roots dating back to the 1840s, the property is a masterpiece of Nordic architecture. The iconic section was completed in 1890 by architect Onni Tarjanne, who is perhaps best known for designing the Finnish National Theatre.

Stepping inside, the hotel feels more like a private art gallery than a traditional hotel. It houses nearly 400 pieces of art throughout its halls, starting with an impressive white dragon sculpture by Ai Weiwei that greets guests in the lobby. The interior design strikes a perfect balance between its historical heritage and sleek, modern Nordic sensibilities, featuring high-end materials like marble and solid wood.

A real highlight is the Wintergarden, a beautiful, social space sheltered by an arched glass roof. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The hotel also prioritizes wellness with its “St. George Care” spa, which includes an indoor pool, saunas, and a gym, offering a peaceful escape from the city’s bustle.

The location is excellent for exploring Helsinki. You are just a short walk from the Design District, which is packed with boutiques and galleries, as well as major cultural attractions like the Ateneum Art Museum and the unique Temppeliaukio Church. Whether you are in the city for business or a romantic getaway, the hotel provides a refined, story-filled base right in the heart of the capital.

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“The building is magnificent: a former printing and publishing house from the 1920s. It was reborn as a hotel in 2018, thanks to the homegrown Kamp group, which has a collection of smart hotels in the city.”

Lonely Planet review:

“Set in a Renaissance Revival building completed by architect Onni Tarjanne in 1890, this hotel is one of the most prestigious in Helsinki. It represents minimalism at its most luxurious with bespoke furniture in soothing colours in every room from the charming Atelier to the dramatic St. George Suite.”

Telegraph review:

“The Helsinki hotel is the city’s most stylish and luxurious. Setting the bar at a new level for attention to detail for accommodation. The St. George pulls off a cool combination of informality and sophistication.”

As we had a long journey back to Australia , I feel they could have been more accomodating .

Breakfast was amazing , also restaurant staff .
Location was great .

Construction site outside our bedroom window , room change , then room change offered on our return ,
We were not given the room , on our return , we were promised . We arrived at 2am , so was not in the state of
mind to complain.
Lack of communication with staff .

Overall, a bit more attention to detail would greatly improve the overall guest experience.

Spa is really nice and the massage was excellent.

There was an outdoor renovation taking place on the terrace of the Finlandia Suite, which we were not informed about at the time of booking. This was quite disappointing.
Additionally, we found a half-finished bottle of champagne in the fridge upon arrival, which was not appropriate. The phone in the suite was also not working.

Not Value for Money- look for a better option

Excellent pillows

No coffee machine in the room. We were not warned at the horrendous overcharging in the in house Thai Restaurant. Mediocre food at 168 euros. Was charged $57 euros to simply change the date of our stay. Would warn anybody thinking of booking here that the room is very overpriced- not of value at this price point.

Could've been nice but ruined by cold room.

Large basically comfortable room with exceptional beds.
Excellent breakfast with an unusual selectio
Spa facilities were very nice, but pool can get crowded

The hotel itself was fine, but our room was freezing cold during the entire day. We complained to the staff who said they would fix it, but nothing appeared to have been done. Needless to say this did nothing for the experience.

Great location, nice, daylight filled rooms. Good breakfast.

Great location. Staff was nice. Keijo at the breakfast was fantastic!

It's little mazy how you get around. The reception is upstairs from the entrance and the rooms are a way off from the reception. The floors are looking exactly the same as you get off the elevator so you need to be careful when exciting.
My room had a broken sofa bed that they weren't able to fix whole I stayed there.

The staff was wonderful and the food delicious!

It was in the heart of Helsinki.

It’s a little far from the train station, but not terribly.

Could be the best hotel in Helsinki if cleaning and food problems would be fixed.

Design, location, building - all is amazing.

1. Wine glasses in the room were not washed - were full of lipstick and fingerprints. Terrible feeling.
2. Breakfast - egg station was over low quality - eggs royal - worst ever, omelet - not eatable. Pure selection of other options for such a high level place.

Very nice centrally located scandinavian hotel

The breakfast and service at the breakfast was very good. Rooms are clean and functional.

Crowded spa and requirement to book in advance as well as 45min time limit. Also being asked to do self checkin and checkout is not that common in 5 star hotels.

Best Hotel in Town - Great Value for Money and Exceptional Staff

Wonderful staff that made us feel welcome after a not so nice experience at Hotel Kämp (concierge personally fetched out luggage from other hotel at no surcharge), rooms are exceptionally clean and feature a nice Nordic modern interior. Stylish lighting system, allowing you to set the mood and control lights perfectly. The in-house breakfast and coffee place (also open to external guests) had great quality items and was reasonably priced. SPA area features steam, sauna and small pool as well as a ice bath - all of which is new and well maintained. Would recommend this hotel as the best one in town (including over Kämp).

Perfect boutique spa hotel to stay in when visiting Helsinki.

Serenity suite was wonderful and very well equipped it’s luxurious bathroom products/ kettle, coffee and teas etc. even a jug for water. Spa was fantastic and staff and service excellent. Location couldn’t be better. Bar is great, with very good drink’s selection. Breakfast also excellent.

Limited food options on the room service menu and also in the Wintergarten bar.

Lovely decor, great location, great first taste of Helsinki

Sauna, breakfast, room decor was lovely, location great

As a solo traveler, we often get given the smaller rooms. I felt my room didn’t match the advertised room given it had a smaller internal courtyard facing window rather than a larger external facing own. I was disappointed. I probably could have queried and asked for a room on a higher level with the outward facing window especially as I checked in early.

Perfect location and very stylish and comfortable- will definitely stay here next time

Amazing location. The room was very good and whilst not huge was perfect for our stay. The spa was fantastic and I had a hot stone massage treatment which was exceptional. The breakfast was delicious.
The bar menu was not very big but the staff were great and accommodated our requests. We didn’t get to try the in house Asian restaurant as it was closed for the summer.
