Set against the stunning backdrop of Helsinki's central Katajanokka district, the impressive wooden structure of the hotel brings nature into every space, with the architecture, soundscape, and proximity to the sea creating a multisensory experience from the moment guests step into the lobby.
Each of the 164 rooms is equipped with high-quality materials and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the sea, charming cityscapes of Katajanokka, or the courtyard's natural area. The hotel boasts facilities for events and conferences with the largest venue up to 272 persons, a comprehensive wellness and fitness area, and a sauna.
The hotel's Harbore restaurant features a menu focused on Finnish flavors and seating for 190 guests, including a private chef's table for seven. The food philosophy emphasizes the use of local and northern ingredients, with an impressive 85% of the produce being domestically sourced.
The hotel's commitment to sustainability extends to its goal of becoming Finland's most climate-responsible hotel, with design and operations focused on reducing the building's lifetime climate impact through material selection, recycling, minimizing waste, and using renewable energy. Additionally, the wooden structure of the building is projected to have a minimum lifespan of 100 years.
