A gem (of a hotel) in the heart of Turku
The people of Turku come together at the Market Square and the cafés to chat and gossip. At Original Sokos Hotel Hamburger Börs, you will be staying in the vibrant heart of the city's activities.
Turku equals a compact package of excellent cultural activities, wonderful entertainment, great restaurants, the banks of the Aura river and a fascinating history. Legendary Original Sokos Hotel Hamburger Börs contains the atmosphere of thousands of stories and meetings, as a beating heart located at the Market Square. Take a window table at the lobby bar or the laid-back bistro and observe the world go by on the street and the Square. Or take a bird's eye view from the terrace of the roof-top sauna, while you're still steaming after a relaxing sauna bath and swim.
Iconic Hamburger Börs entered the Finnish hotel and restaurant scene in 1895, when Oscar Waldemar Aspelund began serving food and drinks at the Börs. In 1898, Miss Wallina Valtin from Stockholm acquired Hamburger Börs and expanded it into a quality hotel. The first 14 rooms decorated in 1904 marked the birth of Hamburger Börs as a luxury hotel, known for its live show!
Today, the Hamburger Börs has more than 300 unique rooms. In the heart of Turku, the hustle and bustle at the hotel goes on as lively as ever, albeit with a modern twist.
Slake your thirst or sate your hunger in one of our restaurants. Try the famous classics of Oscar Pub & Grill or pop into bistro Frans & Emilie to enjoy our French delicacies – served with a local twist, naturally. Shamrockcafe is the hotel's relaxed restaurant and bar serving mouth-watering pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven as well as wonderful drinks. Turku, also known as the culinary capital of Finland, has no shortage of restaurants. Direct your steps to town and find your personal favourite, for instance, along the Aura river.
