Hilton's Waldorf Astoria brand has made its Nordic debut, opening a luxury hotel in the heart of Helsinki, Finland. 

The 116-room hotel (including 32 suites) is in four preserved historic buildings in the Kruununhaka neighborhood.

Hilton said each room at the Waldorf Astoria Helsinki "embodies a refined fusion of Nordic minimalism and modern sensibility. Handcrafted furnishings and earthy hues create a calming, tactile ambience." Some of the suites have in-room saunas, steam rooms and private terraces with hot tubs. Attic-style duplex suites deliver a private spa experience and have original wooden beams preserved by the Finnish Heritage Agency.

The signature Peacock Bar is a chic lunch spot in the afternoon and an evening destination for cocktails and light bites. A hotel restaurant is expected to open in early 2026. 

The spa offers the cold plunge and Finnish sauna experience, a steam room, four treatment rooms and Jacuzzi pools.
