Hyatt plans to open its first property in Finland in 2022. The Grand Hansa Hotel is located in Helsinki and part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand.

The property, currently set to undergo renovations, includes 224 guestrooms and a facade and decor inspired by Finnish folklore, history and mythology. Plenteous food and beverage offerings are anticipated, as well as conference and meeting facilities. The property is located a half-hour train or car ride from Helsinki Airport and across the street from the Central Railway Station. Shopping and cultural attractions are within walking distance.

“We are thrilled to see the development of Grand Hansa Hotel in the Nordics as Finland is an important market for us,” said Guido Fredrich, vice president of development for Europe, Hyatt.  “We are excited by the growth we have seen in Helsinki’s tourism sector in recent years. The region’s rich history and distinct culture make The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand a natural fit for Grand Hansa Hotel, as we grow our brand presence in the European luxury market.”

“We are committed to building a sustainable Helsinki today, for tomorrow,” said Antti Kerppola, CEO, Ylva, owning company of Grand Hansa Hotel. “Together with Hyatt and Primehotels Oy we will be able to deliver a prestigious development with high-quality services that our city deserves.”
