1987 KONE M (mod 2008 & 2015) Tr. Mixed-use elevator@Hilton Hotel Helsinki Strand, Finland

There are two large beautiful octagonal scenic elevators at this amazing hotel, and 2 staff elevators (one of them is today a mixed-use one). This is how the staff elevators used to look like before 2015: • KONE Modernized Staff ...
This atrium is probably the best in Finland - it looks very American. The hotel underwent a big renovation during 2015-16, and all the rooms were renovated. This hotel is really nice, a bit expensive but there are affordable deals for this hotel also, and it is indeed one of the best hotels in Helsinki!

This hotel was constructed during 1984-1988 and used to be called the Intercontinental Helsinki Strand from the time it opened in October 1988 until it was rebranded as a Hilton Hotel in 2003. When constructed, it was the most expensive hotel building in the 1980s in Finland! The granite was brought from Lapland, there are also marble floors and walls, and diagonal shapes and octagonal shapes on the scenic elevators. Also, there is a fountain between the lobby floor (1) and the mezannine floor (2). The renovation of the 2nd floor was not completed at the time of filming. The pool area on the top floor contains an aquarium on the side of it! Very beautiful interiors, and they retained a lot of the original sophisticated interiors.
