Paasitorni is a conference and event house in Helsinki with 29 rentable conference rooms and a largest hall that holds up to 800 guests. It serves business meetings, congresses, dinners and private celebrations, and the same building contains three restaurants and a hotel opened in 2012. The address is Paasivuorenkatu 5 A, 00530 Helsinki.
Seminars and company events
Paasitorni states that it can organise meetings from a few people up to 800. The rooms are convertible, and their style ranges from historic to modern. The site lists meeting packages that are ready to book, along with additional services, and the team will also build an event around specific requests.
The Congress Hall is the main plenary room with a stated capacity of 800 and is described as having high ceilings and chandeliers. Sirkus takes up to 280 and is the second largest space. Mid-sized rooms such as Siltasaari Hall (200), Karl Lindahl (140) and Juho Rissanen (120) suit breakout sessions and workshops, and a series of boardrooms from 8 to 16 seats handles management meetings. Nine foyers and lobbies are available for registration, coffee breaks and small exhibitions.
Weddings and receptions
The Juhlat (celebrations) section presents the architecture and setting for company and private events. The site does not state wedding capacities or a wedding offer in the pages read, so couples should ask the sales team directly. Christmas party formats are listed as a separate offer.
