Clarion Collection® Hotel Katajanokka

A unique stay in Helsinki

Clarion Collection® Hotel Katajanokka is located about 10 minutes’ drive from Helsinki city centre, with great architecture, excellent shopping and a vibrant sauna culture. This charming and stylish hotel itself is a real attraction, housed within thick red brick walls, once home to the Helsinki County Prison. When the building was transformed into a hotel, the building’s rich history was transported into the modern era, offering a magical world of contrasts. Prepare for surroundings that ooze comfort and elegance with a touch of Nordic luxury.

A stylish lifestyle hotel

The oldest part of the hotel dates back to 1837, while the main building was constructed in 1888. Following extensive restoration, the building opened its doors as a hotel in 2007, with several parts of the hotel being protected by the Finnish National Heritage Board. In 2017, the hotel was once again renovated, with brand new interior design, resulting in a stylish lifestyle hotel in this unique historical setting. The hotel’s wonderful Restaurant Linnankellari serves simple and refined Nordic cuisine, and all our guests can look forward to breakfast, afternoon fika and dinner served every day as part of an overnight stay.

Cosy accommodation, wellness & conference facilities

The former prison blocks have been lovingly transformed into cosy and stylish hotel rooms, with privacy and tranquillity in mind. The thick walls, high ceilings and triple-glazed windows keep noise to a minimum, helping you to get a great night’s sleep. Additional facilities including a gym, parking, and several meeting rooms for corporate and private events.
