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.

"If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Helsinki, Hobo is the place to stay. The location simply couldn’t be better, right in the heart of the city, with everything within walking distance. Whether you want to explore the main attractions, enjoy great restaurants, or just soak in the atmosphere, it’s all right at your doorstep. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, always ready with helpful tips and a friendly smile. The room itself was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. You can tell that attention has been paid to every detail. After a long day of exploring Helsinki, it felt like the perfect place to unwind. Breakfast was another highlight: fresh, varied, and delicious, with plenty of options to suit different tastes. What really stood out, though, was the overall atmosphere of the hotel. It managed to feel both stylish and cozy at the same time. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Helsinki. Hobo exceeds all expectations."

"We arrived very early on a Sunday morning. They have a great spot downstairs to store luggage & bathrooms etc so it suited us perfectly. (Tip: go straight to Loyly for sauna - the best thing after a long flight! - but make sure you book!) The rooms were clean and comfortable with a great bathroom. We bar / restaurant was great with friendly staff. The only thing we missed was no tea/coffee in the rooms, but found this across Scandinavia so we got used to it. It really was no big deal. This hotel was excellent and we'd happily stay here again."

"We arrived at the hotel with my wife and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. The check-in process was smooth and effortless, which set a great tone for our stay. The room was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Our room faced Aleksanterinkatu, but despite the trams and traffic outside, we were not disturbed by any noise during the night. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options—there was truly something for everyone. We also really enjoyed the hotel bar, which offers tasty snacks along with excellent mocktails and cocktails. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!"
