PB hotel design editorial

Constructed in 1908 as the headquarters of the Finnish Electric Company, the pale ochre Art Nouveau building on Pieni Roobertinkatu in Helsinki's Kaartinkaupunki district carries the weight of its original civic ambition in every arched window and pilastered facade panel. Hotel Lilla Roberts, which carved its 136 rooms from this landmark structure, preserves the building's generous proportions while layering an interior language that owes more to mid-century eclecticism than Nordic restraint. Inside, the lobby sets the tone immediately: a black and white marble-effect checkerboard floor, sofas upholstered in bold geometric-print fabric, sculptural black column lamps, and a vivid expressionist canvas anchoring the far wall. Guest rooms continue the same confident mix — dark oak floors, amber and charcoal curtains framing the building's original arched windows in the larger suites, zebra-print bench seats placed against faux-fur throws, and Miró-adjacent graphic prints hung in pairs above quilted headboards. The restaurant, by contrast, pulls in a rawer industrial sensibility: polished concrete walls and ceilings, encaustic patterned floor tiles, clusters of articulated task lamps suspended from a ceiling rack, and deep green velvet chairs grouped around Thonet bentwood bentwood café chairs — a pairing that gives the dining room the atmosphere of a Viennese brasserie refitted by someone with a very good eye for tension.

"I was really looking forward to my stay at this hotel, but it was just okay. The location is excellent and close to sights and amazing restaurants. The breakfast was pretty good, and the restaurant staff were so lovely and warm (shout out to Alina), which is a sharp contrast to reception. Every person I interacted with at reception was professional but cold and not very welcoming. The beds are comforable, but the room lacked character and stylish decor, which is suprising considering the lobby is well decorated. Rooms are also not soundproof - I could hear the person in the room above me walking and moving chairs at 5am."

"This is a stylish art deco hotel in a great location near Esplanadi Park. Our room was an average size but with a view looking straight across to the other building. It had some mod cons like dressing robes and a soft close toilet seat, but no slippers, no coffee machine and no USB sockets. And whilst the bed was relatively comfortable, we found the pillows really poor. We also didn't like the small shower room where the poorly designed walk-in shower led to the shower room floor being covered in water every time we had a shower. The lobby bar was dimly lit but it was yet another place where they serve you an expensive cocktail without any complimentary snacks (mixed nuts were an additional €3). There's a gym in the basement which was sparsely equipped but it was roomy and fine for a quick workout. The included breakfast was an average buffet spread. Disappointingly, an omelette was an extra €6.50 (or €3 for a fried egg). Overall, we liked the location but were left quite underwhelmed with the hotel itself."

"Spent nights here on each end of our Lapland adventure. The hotel is centrally located, the rooms are beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Especially Rico down in the main bar- an asset to this facility."

"This hotel is ok not great or 5 star Arrived late afternoon no concierge, some staff are helpful others are not. The foyer is always busy by locals so hard to find a seat etc The bar/restaurant opens at 5pm you can’t get nothing to eat say at like 4pm location is ok not close to Town but have to walk all the time and get food etc Overall not much service but comfortable enough for a stay. We upgraded to a suite and there is nothing ‘suite’ about it no water, view was average (concrete floor with rooms above that can see in to your room) nothing lux about this hotel"
