Seminars and company events
Gustavelund hosts meetings, multi-day seminars, conferences, exhibitions and company parties for up to 250 people. The hotel lists 15 meeting rooms of various sizes, 10 group work rooms, an auditorium for 120 and the Lake Tuusula Hall for 250, so a large plenary, breakout work and a dinner can all run on the same site. It is a Finnish family business that describes itself as a vintage design hotel, set on the shore of Lake Tuusula in Tuusula, north of Helsinki.
Every meeting room has basic presentation equipment, with additional technology on request. The bright main lobby is used for exhibitions and trade fairs, and the hotel's own art collection is on permanent display. A programme service arranges activities between sessions, from Nordic skating on the lake to sauna evenings, and the hotel says groups of 100 and more are welcome.
Weddings and receptions
Tuusula's old wooden church stands next to the hotel, and couples can travel from the church to the reception by traditional long boat. Receptions take place in the Eggertas Banquet Hall, for up to 200 guests, or the Winter Garden for 120. The 19th-century pavilion and the old manor house on the grounds serve as settings for photographs, and there is room for dancing, a band, overnight guests and parking. The Gustava Club, a retro night club, takes 60 for the late part of the evening.
Rooms and capacities
The Lake Tuusula Hall measures 300 square meters for 250 people, and the Auditorium 168 square meters for 120. The Eggertas Banquet Hall covers 486 square meters for 200, and the Winter Garden in the hotel wing 200 square meters for 120. Aalto takes 72 people in 117 square meters, and a series of meeting rooms seat 14 to 48. Smaller spaces include the Edvard cabinet for 42, the Fireplace Lounge and the Einar cabinet for 24 each, the Loimu cabinet room for 15 and Muusa and Viola for 12. The Kyöstinranta lakeside sauna is a separate two-storey building with a meeting room for 24 upstairs and a lounge below.
Accommodation
The hotel has 97 rooms, including a honeymoon suite, as well as apartments, so a full seminar group or a wedding party can stay on site. Rooms and meeting spaces are booked together through the sales team, which keeps a two-day program in one place.
Catering
The in-house kitchen serves breakfast, lunch and an à la carte menu, and plans catering across multi-day meetings from the first coffee to the closing dinner. Wedding and party menus are designed by the hotel. Three saunas, heated on demand, hold about 30 people at a time.
Getting there
Gustavelund is at Kirkkotie 36 in Tuusula, about 15 minutes by car from Helsinki Airport and under 30 minutes from central Helsinki. Parking on site is free.
