With an impressive art collection that rivals the world’s top art hotels, Hotel St. George has become one of Helsinki’s most-anticipated openings this year.

Ai Wei Wei’s Tianwu is part of the hotel’s bold art collection

As part of a curated art programme, the property houses 300 art pieces, including a unique, not-to-be-missed Ai Weiwei sculpture in the form of a polycephalic dragon entitled Tianwu. Originally designed by renowned architect Onni Tarjanne and once home to the Finnish Literature Society, the seven-storey hotel breathes a contemporary spirit through classic fittings from Vitra, ClassiCon and Sibast.

Our Wintergarden has lovely cocktails and almost best of all, air conditioning! ? ”Learning to fly”, a nearly six metres tall metallic bird by Finnish artist Pekka Jylhä welcomes you to our living room. #wintergarden #momentsaremore #myhelsinki #stgeorgehelsinki #reasontocometohelsinki

Minimalists may find themselves gravitating to the Monocle Shop within the hotel’s grocery store, St. George Bakery, while others can spend peaceful mornings at Wintergarden, a glass-roofed inner courtyard that mimics an 18th-century conservatory.
