The essence of old-world charm intersects with modern design luxury in the buildings that The Hotel Maria has been created within. With a long cultural history, the four historic buildings, now protected by The Finnish Heritage Agency, tell many tales of days gone by.
The grounds of these buildings were frequented by famed Finnish poets Johan Ludvig Runeberg, Fredrik Cygnaeus and their social circle, where they would discuss literature, philosophy and art with vigour. These buildings have also housed generations of government, military and, more recently, The Arts Council of Finland. Much of the original details of these buildings have been carefully preserved and are proudly honored and enhanced throughout the hotel.
