The Best Europe Hotel Openings of 2023
The Hotel Maria, Helsinki, Finland
Comprising four historic buildings originally designed for military officials between 1885 and 1930, the 117-key property has been reimagined by an all-Finnish design team, weaving its stately architecture with a Nordic style and bespoke furnishings. Drawing inspiration from Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna, ornate original wall and ceiling details mingle with a soothing neutral color palette and contemporary touches to suit the modern version of this muse.
