Valo Hotel & Work

VALO Hotel & Work, located in Finland, is a pioneering hybrid concept that redefines how individuals balance work and leisure. Recognized as one of the Top 100 Sustainable Hotels and Resorts in the World by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, VALO offers an innovative offering of services, including modern workspaces, a warm hotel atmosphere, and high-quality dining, all under one roof.

The Sustainable Hybrid Model At the heart of VALO’s approach is its unique dual-use design. Every room functions as a comfortable hotel space by night and transforms into a functional office by day. This multiuse strategy ensures continuous use of facilities, maximizing resource efficiency and significantly reducing the carbon footprint—up to 90% lower than traditional models. By offering both services in one space, VALO optimizes property utilization, cutting down on energy waste and contributing to a more sustainable urban environment.

VALO leverages sustainable practices throughout its operations. The building consumes only half the heating and cooling energy, electricity, and construction resources per service compared to standard structures. It also utilizes green energy, with a significant portion sourced from geothermal wells. The decor features extensive use of wood and low-carbon, sustainable materials. These initiatives address a crucial global challenge: buildings account for nearly 40% of total energy consumption, and underused properties are a significant contributor to energy waste.

Key Advantages

Since its inception in 2020 following two years of development, VALO has set its sights on international expansion, aiming to bring its sustainable hybrid model to cities across Finland and Europe. By integrating innovation with sustainability, VALO Hotel & Work stands out in eco-conscious hospitality and work solutions.
