Hotel Katajanokka

Hotel Katajanokka is a unique lifestyle hotel in Helsinki where chic design, uncompromised comfort and personal service meet in a historic former prison setting – a short walk from the city. Inside the old brick walls, a fascinating world of contrasts opens up – a modern premier-class hotel built in a historic landmark.

Hotel Katajanokka is one of the most beautiful hotels Helsinki has to offer. It is a privately owned lifestyle hotel, renovated with loving care into the historic premises of former Helsinki county prison. Inside the red brick walls you will find a magic world of contrasts – with serene comfort, stylish design and a hint of Nordic luxury.

The rooms at Hotel Katajanokka are carefully reconstructed from original cellblocks, with design and decor that makes no compromises on functionality and comfort. Purpose-built for privacy and peace, the metrethick brick walls make the rooms very quiet, ensuring a good night’s sleep. Whilst the tall ceilings and individually adjustable cooling system add on to the airy and spacious vibe, the triple-glazed windows keep the hustle and bustle of the city outside. All our room rates include Wi-Fi, free use of our 24-hour gym and a complimentary weekend sauna.
