facilitiestHe preliminary plans for the two hotels outline the facilities as follows:

full service Hotel

GueSt roomS

• 260 rooms measuring approximately 26m2 distributed across the floors 3-13 on the south side of the building facing towards city centre of Helsinki

Food & BeveraGe FacilitieS

Current plans include an all-day dining restaurant on the 2nd floor which is estimated to occupy 300m2 with a capacity of 200 customers. The kitchen will also cater for the adjoining conference and meeting facilities. There is a proposed separate lounge bar facility.

meetinG FacilitieS

The plans incorporate a number of meeting and conference facilities on the 2nd and 3rd floors with a total area of 1,000m2 which could accommodate up to 800 delegates in a range of flexible rooms. Currently the largest room is planned at 450m2 with a flexible partitioning.

leiSure FacilitieS

The Hotel is anticipated to feature up to 500m2 of spa facility together with some treatment rooms and Scandinavian sauna departments and a well equipped gym. The shopping centre is anticipated to house a branded gym for external membership with a wide range of equipments. This facility is expected to be available for hotel guests.

limited service Hotel

GueSt roomS

• 160 rooms measuring approximately 22m2 distributed across the floors 6-13 on the north side of the building facing the courtyard and an office tower on the other side of the Tripla development

Food & BeveraGe FacilitieS

Due to the nature of the operating business model, and the fact that the proposed shopping centre and the surrounding area of Pasila will provide a number of food and beverage establishments, current plans only include a facility for providing breakfast buffet and potentially a small bar serving mainly inhouse guests. The limited service hotel will benefit from having the full service hotel as a neighbour.

tHe development, located some 2,5km to the North from the current city centre, will become one of the best connected locations in town with immediate access to public transportation, good shopping and several large venues for conferencing and entertainment use.

Pasila, is already one of the main business districts of Helsinki. It is conveniently located just a short distance away from several strong accommodation demand generators such as: Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre “Messukeskus”, sport, concert and entertainment venue Hartwall Arena and Linnanmäki amusement park. Many offices and HQs of Finnish banks are nearby.

Pasila and Tripla is expected to become the second city centre of Helsinki and benefit from the high-speed Ring Rail Line connection to the airport (set to be opened 2015) and a local train ring tunnel known as the Helsinki City Rail Loop. The site already benefits from very good access by car and very frequent tram line services.

The proposed development site is ideally positioned to take advantage of both corporate and leisure demand for hotel facilities. It will benefit from a prime location in the central commercial district of Helsinki, next to the biggest transport intersection in Finland. A variety of shops, restaurants and other services as a part of a mixed-use development are planned. Finland’s media headquarters, a large number of offices, biggest congress hall and concert arena, as well as many tourist attractions are located within the walking distance.

Occupying a prominent and elevated site, the hotels will enjoy perfect visibility from far afield, and will provide panoramic views over Helsinki city centre, making them some of best located hotels in the city.

tHe city Has repeatedly been found to be among the best cities to live in and has a population base of approximately 600,000 (approximately 1,3m in the wider metropolitan area).

The city, with its diverse economy, has become a leading business hub at the heart of the Baltic Sea region. The city remains one of Europe’s richest capitals and the metropolitan areas gross value added per capita equals those of Stockholm and Paris. Contributing almost a third of Finland’s GDP, Helsinki profits particularly from the significant presence of service related, IT and public sectors. Shipping companies are also among the large employers.

Helsinki is the key tourism destination in Finland, with approximately 3,2 million visitor arrivals in 2013. The city benefits from a healthy business/leisure mix and is supported by excellent infrastructure and connections. Key tourist attractions include world class museums (Atheneum, Kiasma and National Museum), churches, architecture, leisure parks (Linnanmäki, Sealife), Suomenlinna fortress and the surrounding archipelago. The city is a popular destination for international events, conferences and exhibitions thanks to the safe environment and easy access.

the hotel Market

Helsinki’s Hotel market currently consists of approximately 8,400 guest rooms in 61 hotels. The market is dominated by national and Scandinavian hotel chains and is heavily mid-market oriented.

Helsinki attracts a healthy mix of business and leisure visitors and benefits from excellent infrastructure and air transport links. Leisure demand peaks during the summer months, meanwhile the rest of the year is supported by stable corporate and MICE demand. The latter, has seen a stable growth over recent years and has set a new record in 2013 when 288 international conferences, that attracted more than 31,000 conference guests took place in Helsinki.

Despite experiencing a considerable downturn during the global economic crisis, the Finnish economy, and demand for hotel accommodation in Helsinki, recovered faster than expected by both economists and hotel specialists alike, mainly due to the growth of leisure demand. The recovery in the Helsinki hotel market has also been faster than in many other European capital cities.

In 2013, the hotel market in Helsinki achieved occupancy of 68% together with an average daily rate of €96, yielding a RevPar around €65. Demand has recovered to the pre-crisis level and average room rates are improving, although lagging slightly behind the record levels of 2007 and 2008.

Helsinki is the key tourist destination in Finland, with approximately 3,2 million visitor overnights recorded in 2013.
