The Hotel Maria

Our stay at Hotel Maria in Helsinki was truly the best experience we've ever had. The staff is simply beyond words – incredibly caring and attentive, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This amazing team always greeted us with big smiles and ensured that every wish was fulfilled. A special mention goes to Maricor, our delightful waitress at breakfast. Her service was impeccable, adding a lovely touch to our mornings. A huge thank you to everyone at Hotel Maria. We will definitely be back for sure!

Absolutely the best stay we've had in Helsinki for a staycation. The service is unique for Helsinki hotel scene in an outstanding environment. The property buildings have been beautifully renovated in a calm tone. The guest room was spacious and filled with comfort. Cleanliness was top notch and bathroom elegant and roomy. Easy-to-use in-room technology allowed us to manage the audio, tv and ac seamlessly. If you got time the spa is worth a visit to wind down during your trip featuring different kind of jacuzzis, cold water dip-in pool and couple of saunas. The lounge area is a place of tranquility with excellent service. Hotel Maria offers for sure one-of-a-kind hospitality in Helsinki.

The Hotel Maria was one of the highlights of an amazing visit to Norway and Helsinki. The majority of our trip took place in Norway and ended with two nights in Helsinki at the Maria. What a delight ! Literally every member of the staff was pleasant, genuine, and beyond accommodating. Flavio at the front desk. Tatiana too. Sergei at the front door. Yorgos in the bar. Murat at breakfast greeting us each morning. Carolina and Marcel in the beautiful spa. It’s a very new hotel but extraordinarily managed and beautiful. It certainly didn’t hurt that we stayed in an executive suite but our friends told us their room was spacious and comfortable too. The Hotel Maria enhanced our visit to the vibrant city of Helsinki. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had an amazing stay at The Hotel Maria. Everything was above expectations. All of the staff were professional, helpful and nice. We were there three nights and we created a bond with a number of the staff which helped us feel that we are at our home away from home. All the facilities were first class. Fully renovated. Upgraded to a spacious suite. Excellent spa. The best hotel bar. Two restaurants. Delicious breakfast. Well equipped fitness center. The concierges were so helpful. Can’t say enough about the property.

Since we live in Helsinki we only enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant Lilja. It was a really nice experience. The breakfast was good and service excellent. We can recommend it to all of you who want a little more than orsinary hotel breakfast Christer and Anita

The Hotel Maria is a brand new, opened in December 2023, 5-star luxury hotel. Clearly aiming, and currently succeeding, to be the best hotel in Helsinki. What makes The Hotel Maria such a unique and special experience at the moment is the level of service. I am genuinely impressed by how this team is managed. Maria clearly has an ownership or management that prioritizes high-level personal service, something very rare around these parts of the world. I honestly commend them for the effort to staff the hotel at a high density and find and train the talent to execute a great level of service. The staff is friendly, attentive, courteous, and very professional whilst maintaining a personal connection. During our visit, we had both special requests and a personal celebration, and the staff really went the extra mile to acknowledge and accommodate us. I've seen ultra luxury hotels struggle at less. The property is built to the highest standard, and even with a basic category room, our room was well-appointed with a separate seating area and a massive bathroom with a bathtub. There are very few rooms per floor so we found it to be very quiet. Construction is still going on during the daytime, and only one of the three buildings with guest rooms are currently open. The location is in central Helsinki but slightly off from the main center in a more quiet but upscale area with some decent restaurants around. The main amenity of the hotel is the aptly named Maria spa. It’s a luxurious and well-sized hotel spa with a lounge pool, a larger hot-tub, a cold-plunge pool, and both wet and dry saunas. There’s also a striking relax area with a spa-bar built-in under a glass atrium covering the former courtyard. From my one experience staying here so far, Maria easily outperforms its closest competitors (Kämp or St:George). As such, I’d say it’s a very interesting addition to the Helsinki hotel scene, and I’m excited to see if they can maintain this high level of service and how their competitors will react. If you’re in Helsinki, the Maria is a must-visit. For even more details, pictures and information check out my page @mattiasvisitshotels on Instagram.

We dined at Hotel Maria Garden Terrace and took a tour of hotel checking some of their rooms. Beautiful old building (officers quarters) renovated to high standard. Service is polite and attentive. Very calm atmosphere. Rooms are different sizes but all high-quality and fine attention to details. Rooms have big beds and toilets (many with bathtub and some with sauna). Downstairs has one fine dining area, bar and. Garden terrace restaurant. They also have nice looking spa. There is an annex of the hotel that is still being built.

Exquisite hotel in Helsinki. Beautiful accommodations and excellent staff. The cocktails are some of the best in the city. The spa offered relaxing and innovative treatments, leaving you pampered. This hotel is also interesting from a historical perspective and has a rich history.

This hotel has the best service in town! The staff everywhere was truly kind and helpful with a right touch of humour as well to make us feel important. We stayed one night in Junior Spa Suite in February. Our suite had a really good Finnish sauna. The suite and bathroom were spacious, bed was comfortable and the style was beautiful. The old building has been renovated very well into a luxury hotel. Food was also good, we had dinner at Garden Terrace. Also the spa has a good Finnish sauna and a nice relaxing area. We can recommend Hotel Maria!
