Celebrate love at Hotel Maria in Helsinki

Finland offers its own interpretation of Valentine’s Day, known as Ystävänpäivä or “Friend’s Day.” While the tradition only dates back to 1980, it has become cherished amongst the Finns to honour special friendships through shared meals, coffee and activities, including visits to traditional Finnish saunas, leaving no room to feel down if there’s no romance in your life. This heartwarming celebration adds to Finland’s distinction as the ‘Happiest Country in the World’ for the sixth consecutive year, making it a destination to spark joy in any traveller. 

Adding to the charm of the celebrations is the recently opened Hotel Maria in Helsinki, heralding a new era of luxury Nordic hospitality.

The hotel’s facilities are breathtaking, boasting 38 luxurious spa suite rooms, two elegant restaurants and bars, a ballroom, chapel and state-of-the-art spa and wellness facilities, as well as a destination boutique featuring esteemed Finnish designers. The Hotel Maria is in the heart of Helsinki, making it an ideal home base for memorable Nordic adventures of all types to share with your loved ones over this Valentine’s period.
