The hotel interior has an old-fashioned charm with modern interiors.  The northern wings of the original building are now connected by a modern new building, that utilizes Saarinen’s architecture and design language.  In addition to modern hotel décor, you will see original details, original refurbished furniture, and light fixtures.  The tall and wide corridors feature warm colors and trendy details.  The wide beds are the central point of the room.  The rooms in the original building offer nostalgia with mullioned windows and thick walls.  The large spaces of the original building are balanced by the modern rooms of the new-build. Some rooms offer great views of Kaisaniemi Park with wall-to-wall windows.
