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.
