PB hotel design editorial

Aleksanterinkatu, Helsinki's main commercial artery, has always carried a certain civic weight — and the modernist office block that GLO Hotel Kluuvi converted into a 184-room hotel sits squarely within that tradition, its dark-framed curtain-wall facade and illuminated canopy projecting a confident urban presence onto the rain-slicked street. The Finnish hotel group worked with a palette that bridges the building's mid-century commercial bones with a deliberately energetic contemporary interior, treating the ground floor as a social threshold rather than a formal arrival sequence. Inside, the lobby dissolves into the Chill & Share bar with little ceremony — copper Tom Dixon pendant lights hang over a walnut-topped bar counter, yellow and teal upholstered ottomans scatter across a patterned rug, and a bold chevron-panelled reception desk in oak and dark lacquer anchors the space without closing it off. The guest rooms continue this warm-toned Nordic modernism: dark-stained timber strip flooring runs throughout, box-spring beds in olive and grey sit against large-format photographic headboard panels that collage geometric and organic motifs, and ombre curtains shift from white to deep indigo at the hem. Corner suites benefit from the building's ribbon windows, their wrap-around glazing flooding oversized rooms with the flat northern light that Helsinki does better than almost anywhere.

About

Is Hobo a boutique hotel in Kluuvikatu in central Helsinki, with unique design and a vibrant social scene? Yes, it is. But it’s also far more than that. Hobo is our idea of community. A place where we live, work, create, learn and have fun together. We believe that traveling should be more than just a place to stay. It should be an immersive experience; something that connects you with the city and its culture, its local community. In addition to the vibrant culture, at Hobo you’ll find 183 hotel rooms for every taste, plus a restaurant, a bar, a whole floor of event spaces, our pop-up area SPACEby, and much, much more. Hobo Helsinki is just a few hundred meters from the central railway station, a stone’s throw from the University of Helsinki metro station and close to taxis and trams. Getting around Helsinki couldn’t be more comfortable or faster.

"Hip, cool and funky - which I am not(!) but we had a great stay. Well situated and good value. Great breakfast, Great staff. Quieter than we thought it might be. Spotlessly clean. Would happily stay again."

"The room was spacious and clean. The design and style was nice. There was a lack of storage space in the room, which would have been a problem if we had had bigger luggage. Staff was nice and helpful. Gym had good amenities and was peaceful. Bar/restaurant has nice atmosphere, although felt understaffed as wait times could be very long."

"Pros: 1) location was great. Was along the Main Street and surrounded by plenty of shops and within walking distance to many areas 2) I booked the sleeper room and it’s of a good size - for one. For two with luggage… think it might be a tad squeeze 3) all information available on screen including room service menu, check in check out time etc and was easy to use (comes with Chromecast as well) 4) no laundromat but does come with laundry services if required! Cons: 1) room doesn’t come with any sort of toothbrush/sanitary bag/slippers and I’m not sure if it’s bc mine is a basic room. But in winter with boots, room floors get a little more cold and comes with small little stones that were lodged in the underside of boots. I took out my shoes only at the foyer near the door yet was stepping on stones non stop in the room.. a pair of slippers will probably solve the problem? 2) room doesn’t come equipped with telephone which surprised me because how do I contact reception? Ordering for food is via QR code but if there are questions that needs to be asked? Do I get down to the lobby all the time? In addition, I think it’s also a safety issue. As much as they did indicate to dial 112(?) for medical emergencies, sometimes if you need help/to ask qns quickly - it’s always quicker to dial than go down?? Perhaps it’s just me… Overall it’s a really nice stay but do note that this is essentially a lifestyle/boutique hotel probably targeted to the younger generation and therefore, will not have the usual amenities you’ll expect in a “proper” branded hotel. Come for the vibe, the music, the aesthetic."

"Amazing breakfast even better staff service! Bed is is super comfy and able to handle anyone you throw on it. Shower is wet, wild and ready for more. Something I often notice upon entering any hotel is the ambiance. And let me tell you this place, even upon my 2am check in, was overwhelmingly full of Positive vibes, Proactive staff and Pinterest ready photoshoots. The 3 P's of hospitality. But the D enters the scene when I check in. Anyways gotta jet, I'm off to claim a free soft serve ice cream."
