Hotel Vaakuna was opened in 1952 for the Helsinki Summer Olympics. At the time, it was the biggest and most modern hotel in Finland. Today, it is one of the finest historical hotels in the capital. With walls, doors, and numerous details carved of seven different types of wood, the design represents the excitement of the early 1950s. In the 1950s, numerous prominent international figures, from movie star Gregory Peck to UN Secretary Tryggve Lie, stayed at the hotel while visiting Finland.
