For a little extra: Klaus K
For an uniquely Finnish experience, have a go with Klaus K. A member of Design Hotels, Klaus K is inspired by Finland’s national epic Kalevala and its nature but definitely not in the most traditional way. Next to it’s modern feel and excellent kitchen, Klaus K also serves great scenery over the city rooftops.
