Klaus K Hotel brings bold contemporary design to one of Helsinki’s most recognisable streets. Set on Bulevardi, its interiors draw inspiration from the Kalevala, Finland’s national epic, with references to its stories and characters worked into the colours, artwork and decorative details. It gives the hotel an identity of its own, rooted in Finnish culture rather than generic Nordic design.

Guest rooms range from compact urban spaces to individually designed art rooms and larger Sky accommodation. For something particularly memorable, Sky Suites include soaring ceilings, private balconies or an egg-shaped bed, ensuring a stay here is anything but boring. For families and friends, connecting rooms offer the best of both worlds: space to spend time together, plus separate bedrooms and bathrooms when everyone needs a little privacy.

Seven floors above Bulevardi, the Sky Terrace shows Helsinki from a different perspective, where guests can settle in with a chilled drink above the boulevard stretching out below and the city’s rooftops filling the horizon.

Esplanade Park and the Design District are within easy walking distance, with shops, galleries and restaurants filling the surrounding streets. It is a fitting base for discovering Helsinki’s creative side, both inside the hotel and beyond its doors.
