Radisson Blu is strengthening its presence in Finland with the opening of Radisson Blu Aleksanteri Hotel, Helsinki.

The newly renovated hotel has a strong connection to the local people and culture, and promises to be every guest’s “home away from home”. 

“We are proud to extend our long-term partnership with SOK Corporation and add another stunning hotel to our portfolio of award-winning hotels in the Nordic region.

“With Radisson Blu Aleksanteri, we look forward to continue delighting our guests with our legendary Yes I Can! service and the best of upper-upscale hotel experience in the Nordics,” said Tom Flanagan, area vice president for The Rezidor Hotel Group in the Nordics.

Radisson Blu Aleksanteri Hotel, Helsinki is a conversion of the existing Solo Sokos Hotel Aleksanteri, which has gone through a thorough upgrade in the brand and guest experience standards.

All 151 rooms and suites offer a high-quality, intimate, boutique hotel-experience in the bustling city centre of Helsinki.

“The new Radisson Blu Aleksanteri Hotel, Helsinki is a perfect complement to our family of eight unique Radisson Blu Hotels in Finland. Each of our hotels create an individual experience of the strengths of the global Radisson Blu brand,” said Tomi Peitsalo, the vice president of SOK International Hotel Business and Radisson Blu regional director, Finland.

Individual service has always been the backbone of the hotel and it has now been even further enriched to meet the global trends and customers’ expectations.

To ensure first-class guest experience, the renewal is based on a customer survey that revealed that both business and leisure travellers are looking for genuine and warm-hearted experiences while staying at a hotel.

The entire hotel, from guest rooms to the restaurant echoes the authentic atmosphere of a dream and warm home.

At ground level, the hotel opens up to a unified area featuring Aleksanteri Lounge, where the hotel guests and restaurant guests can relax, dine, work, meet friends or enjoy a quiet moment or two, just like at home.

The design and usability features are created to delight everyone.

The Blu Dreams sleeping experience focuses on comprehensive sleeping comfort and individual needs.

One of its elements is the Magic Bed, with an intelligent mattress, which molds individually to the person, paired with a range of pillows and duvets to choose from.

The hotel operations of Radisson Blu Aleksanteri Hotel, Helsinki will be run by Sokotel Oy, which is SOK’s subsidiary in the travel and hospitality business.
