PB hotel design editorial

At the corner of Pohjoisesplanadi and Kluuvikatu, where Helsinki's grandest boulevard meets the heart of the city's commercial district, a five-storey Renaissance Revival palace has anchored Finnish social life since 1887. Designed by architect Theodor Höijer, the building's terracotta-toned facade — ornate pilasters, carved corbels, rusticated base, and a chamfered corner tower — established a register of civic confidence that the city was still finding its footing to express. Hotel Kamp, as it was originally named and again today, closed in 1965 after decades of decline and was meticulously restored and reopened in 1999, the interiors conceived to recover the spirit of the original grand café society that had made it a gathering place for figures including Sibelius, Gallén-Kallela, and Mannerheim. The restoration's approach is visible throughout: Corinthian columns with gilded capitals carry coffered ceilings in the restaurant, herringbone parquet laid underfoot, crystal chandeliers suspended above the bar with its dark mahogany counter and Empire-style marble-topped tables. Guestrooms layer deep-toned panelling with silk-draped four-poster and sleigh beds, the palette moving between dusty lavender and charcoal, with floral-patterned carpets that echo Finnish textile traditions through a decidedly European aristocratic filter. Across its 179 rooms and suites, the property holds its historical identity without freezing it — a building that has absorbed more than a century of Finnish history and carries the weight of that accumulation in every gilded capital and velvet cushion.

"This was a long awaited and wonderful weekend in Helsinki. Hotel Kamp is at the heart of Helsinki - walking distance to all the places we wanted to visit (Cathedrals, harbour, library, parliament, Sibelius Music School and the Sibelius Monument). Depite their being some upograding works during our visit - they didnt interupt our visit at all and were indeed largely invisible. We were really luck to have an upgrade and the room was roomy, gorgeous, bright and with the perfect bathroom! And always spotless thanks to the housekeeping team. Each and every staff member was warm, friendly, professioanl and so proud of the heritage of the hotel - making our experience even better. Teriffic bar tenders - make a great old fashioned! The excutive lounge provided a delightful and calm afternoon respite from the miles and miles of walking around the city."

"Beautiful hotel with newly renovated large bathroom. Exceptional customer service. The front desk go out of their way to help with organizing activities, restaurant reservations and transportation. They even put a bag together of items we would need for sauna and delivered it to our room. It’s in a fantastic location."

"From the moment you step through the doors of Hotel Kamp, you feel like you're in their perfectly curated world. My husband and I stayed here over the winter period, and going from the snow-filled streets outside to the grand, heritage interior made the Christmas-feeling even cosier. The newly renovated Bar was an experience we would recommend to everyone. Each cocktail has its own story and one that speaks back to the history of the hotel. I celebrated a birthday during our stay, and with no requests from my husband or I, they offered a special in-house celebration. It may not seem like a lot but when you get to the level of service that Hotel Kamp operates in, its the small details that have the lasting impacts. In my opinion. The interior, as you would expect, is incredible and every corner designed and maintained perfectly. The dining room for their buffet breakfast felt like you were in a private home (...a very large private home!). The concierge knew the local areas and information/events ect. to the T. And not just generically to anyone who asked, but specifically to each guest's age, interests, and desired experiences."
