Hotel Helka

“The hotel was founded by one of the oldest women’s organizations in Finland (YWCA of Finland). And the building, which the YWCA’s women build in the late 1920’s, offered safe place for women to live or visit. There was also YWCA’s central office, bakery, bakery shop, coffee shop and laundry and day-care centre. However, the world changed and the YWCA decided to change along with it. Hotel Helka got to conquer the building.”
