Inspired by the themes of the Finnish national epic Kalevala, Klaus K weaves mythology into modern design with extraordinary effectiveness.

Kamppi
Helsinki's most dramatic modern hotel anchors the Tripla development near the main railway station, with a rooftop bar offering arguably the finest 360-degree panorama in the city.

Kamppi
The Torni Tower has been Helsinki's most celebrated hotel since 1931 — a functionalist skyscraper that was Finland's tallest building for decades.
