What makes Helsinki attractive to hotel investors?

Finland’s political and economic stability offers investors security, while Helsinki’s hotel sector has shown resilience during global shocks, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

Helsinki now welcomes over 6.3 million international overnight stays annually. International tourism in Helsinki is steadily rising, fuelled by major events, cultural tourism, and increasing long-haul travel from markets like the U.S., Germany, and Japan.

While global chains are present, there is still space for growth in lifestyle, boutique, luxury, and extended-stay properties. Investors looking to introduce experience-driven hospitality concepts will find a welcoming market.

5. Emerging investment zones

Key urban areas in Helsinki are undergoing significant mixed-use development, offering opportunities for new hotel builds or adaptive reuse.

6. Supportive ecosystem for investors

From public financing options to an open, business-friendly city administration, Helsinki is structured to help long-term investment thrive.
