Hotel Kämp

Top choice in Helsinki


A Helsinki emblem, this grand, stylish hotel is where the likes of Sibelius and Gallen-Kallela thrashed out their ideas. Its romantic marble lobby seduces you through to historic rooms furnished with antiques and then surprises in the marble bathrooms with trademark rubber ducks. Facilities include a plush day spa, saunas, an all-day brasserie serving sumptuous afternoon teas and two bars.
