Welcome to Hotel St. George
Hotel St. George is a full-service luxury hotel dedicated to holistic care for a healthy mind, heart, and body.
Located at Yrjönkatu 13, directly across from the serene Old Church Park in the heart of Helsinki, our doors officially opened on May 2nd, 2018.
Our address is woven deeply into the cultural fabric of Finland. While the oldest sections of the estate date back to the 1840s, the property's most iconic architectural masterpiece was completed in 1890 by renowned architect Onni Tarjanne – celebrated for designing the iconic Finnish National Theatre in 1902. Over the past two centuries, Yrjönkatu 13 has served as a vibrant cultural crossroads, housing the Finnish Literature Society (SKS), the Helsinki Finnish Club, and the printing house for Suometar, the country's first Finnish-language newspaper.
These rich, historic narratives serve as the founding inspiration behind the hotel's thoughtful interior design and serene atmosphere. Spanning 10,000 square meters across seven thoughtfully restored floors, Hotel St. George offers 148 beautifully appointed rooms and five exquisite suites. Today, this landmark architecture seamlessly merges with a world-class contemporary art collection featuring over 400 curated works, led by Ai Weiwei’s dramatic silk dragon sculpture, Tianwu, which welcomes guests at the main entrance.
Every element of the property is curated to nourish body and spirit. Guests can unwind at St. George Care spa, an urban sanctuary featuring pools, saunas, and custom wellness treatments. Culinary moments are anchored by the glass-roofed Wintergarden Bar for inventive drinks and modern Nordic fare, the welcoming St. George Bakery offering fresh sourdough and artisanal pastries, and our partner restaurant Boon Nam, which brings vibrant, sophisticated Thai cuisine to the heart of the hotel.
