One of Finland's most significant and versatile event venues, Finlandia Hall, designed by Alvar Aalto, opened after a long wait on January 4, 2025. The building was under renovation since the beginning of 2022. For the first time in its history, the renovated Finlandia Hall will open not only to congress and event visitors but also to all city residents and travellers in Helsinki.

Versatile event and congress services remain the core of Finlandia Hall's operations. The main building's renovated meeting center has nearly twenty different spaces that combine modern comfort and design. The Finlandia Hall, Piazza, and other familiar magnificent event spaces and their furniture have been restored to their former glory, and they have been joined by a showroom specifically serving launch events or pop-up exhibitions.

State-of-the-art technology and a wide selection of renovated spaces enable high-quality events, concerts, congresses, celebrations, fairs, and meetings. One great example of this is the planned OSCE 50th anniversary celebration at Finlandia Hall in summer 2025, during Finland's chairmanship period. Throughout the year, the halls will also be filled with various public events in diverse genres.

However, the renovated Finlandia Hall is much more than a single occasion or event: a guest coming for a concert, meeting, or afternoon coffee can also experience, if desired, an à la carte restaurant, an extensive art collection from the Helsinki City Art Museum, an engaging exhibition, or even the opportunity to stay overnight in this Alvar Aalto masterpiece.
 

Finlandia Hall's first à la carte restaurant, Finlandia Bistro, is a modern tribute to artisan work and Finnish ingredients, high-quality food and beverage products, and top-level service skills that ensure great experiences. 

The 64-seat Finlandia Bistro's atmospheric milieu is created by Alvar Aalto's unique architecture and design combined with Finlandia Hall's original furniture and domestic art.

The new wine café serves seasonally changing high-quality products and spectacular views. Some of the café's seats are restored, over 50-year-old chairs designed by Alvar Aalto, which have been in Finlandia Hall since its opening.
 

Finlandia Hall's new accommodation facilities offer a globally unique opportunity to experience Finnish design and architecture up close, and stay overnight in a concert and conference venue. These two apartments, originally designed by Alvar Aalto as staff residences and now carefully restored, embody functional aesthetics and authentic Finnish home atmosphere, and are now opened for the first time as bookable accommodation. The apartments are decorated respecting Aalto's style and furnished with both modern classics and the building's original furniture, making them a perfect choice for design and cultural heritage admirers.

Finlandia Hall is centrally located in the heart of Helsinki by the Töölönlahti Bay, within walking distance from various hotels. The venue offers more than 40 unique conference and event spaces ranging from 20 to 1700 seats.
