Hotel St. George Helsinki

Part Hotel, Part Art Gallery: 15 Art-Forward Hotels Celebrating the Best of Human Creativity

"With its origins as the print house for Finland’s first newspaper, it’s no wonder the 148-room Hotel St George in Helsinki’s downtown is obsessed with art. Over 300 artworks can be found throughout the property: Ai Weiwei’s Tianwu Dragon of silk and bamboo greets guests at the entrance hall and a 20-feet brass-wire bird—“Learning To Fly” by Finnish sculptor Pekka Jylhä—floats above the hotel’s Wintergarden restaurant. Being able to take home some of the standout Nordic design is a bonus: the hotel’s St. George Collection ships worldwide." - Yulia Denisyuk
