Helsinki's iconic landmark, Finlandia Hall, reopens on 4 January 2025 for new audiences
Finlandia Hall has an impressive track record and experience in event organisation, and diverse event services remain at the core of the building's operations. Finlandia Hall's annual visitor count has been approximately 200,000, and the goal for 2025 is to double this number.
The state-of-the-art technology and renovated spaces in the renewed Finlandia Hall enable high-quality events, concerts, congresses and meetings – from small to large. The versatile spaces, updated range of services, advanced technology and experienced, professional staff ensure top-level service, care and experience.
Finlandia Hall's first à la carte restaurant, Finlandia Bistro, is a tribute to Alvar Aalto's love for Italy . The atmospheric ambiance in Finlandia Bistro is created by Alvar Aalto's unique architecture and design combined with Finlandia Hall's original furniture and Finnish art.
Finlandia Hall's new wine café serves seasonal quality café products with spectacular views. On the terrace, opened to the public for the first time, visitors can stop year-round to admire Helsinki city centre's most beautiful views over Töölönlahti Bay. The café offers delicious savoury and sweet pastries, hot dishes and salads, as well as carefully selected wines and refreshments.
Adjacent to the café, a design shop specialising in Finnish design will open, offering products from small Finnish design brands, unique Finlandia Collection items, timeless classics, ceramic art pieces from Arabia art department artists, contemporary design utility items, and naturally, Aalto products.
Finlandia Hall's new accommodation facilities offer a globally unique opportunity to experience Finnish design and architecture up close, and to stay overnight in a concert and conference venue. These two apartments, originally designed by Alvar Aalto as staff accommodation and now carefully restored, embody functional aesthetics and authentic Finnish home atmosphere. The rooms are now available for booking as accommodation for the first time. The apartments are decorated in respect to Aalto's style and furnished with Artek classics and the building's original furniture, making them perfect for admirers of design and cultural heritage.
In June 2025 , Finlandia Hall will open a permanent exhibition that experientially tells the story of Alvar Aalto's, Aino Aalto's and Elissa Aalto's architectural and creative diversity. The exhibition offers an opportunity to gain deep insight into Alvar Aalto's legacy and design principles, as well as their influence on modern architecture and Finnish design.
More information about the exhibition will be provided in spring 2025.
