Luxury and history tastefully collide in this 19th-century five-star hotel set right in the heart of Helsinki.
Since first opening its doors to guests in 1887, Hotel Kämp has provided an elegant place to stay in the heart of Helsinki, overlooking Esplanade Park. The first hotel in Finland to be rated five stars, it’s been pushing the boundaries of luxury for over a century, and its style today tastefully blends regal decor with contemporary touches.
Your stay here puts you within easy walking distance of all the city’s key attractions, while trams conveniently stop right outside for any longer journeys. You also have access to the hotel’s spa, 24-hour gym, and wellness treatments, as well as its 19th-century French-influenced restaurant and bar, where renowned politicians, artists, and writers have rubbed shoulders over the years.
The 179 rooms and suites are spacious, light, and airy, combining classic and contemporary styles. Each overlooks the park, courtyard, or street below and provides a wide range of modern amenities.
Staff at the hotel deliver an exceptional service in keeping with the hotel’s reputation, with a 24-hour concierge on hand throughout your stay in the capital.
We love Hotel Kämp’s location, which puts you within easy walking distance of all the city’s highlights. Added to this is the exceptional service and luxurious touches found throughout the hotel, giving a real sense of decadence.
