Scandic Grand Central Helsinki

"Scandic Grand Central is located at the Helsinki railway station and is arranged in the administrative building of the Railway Board, which was designed by Eliel Saarinen at the end of the 19th century and built at the beginning of the 20th century and expanded in 1938, later the headquarters of the VR corporation. The renovation of the old part, which lasted for a long time, was strictly supervised by the Finnish Museum Agency, after all, the entire facade, entrance hall, staircase and some of the rooms are protected by construction. The protection caused a lot of extra work, for example, the windows are original and all over 4,000 window frames have been restored by hand. The decorative paintings of the old part have been restored, and in connection with the construction work, original color tones have been found by removing the paint surfaces, which are repeated in the hotel even today.
