Klaus K Hotel
Bulevardi 2-4
00120 Helsinki
Klaus K Hotel is located in Helsinki’s vibrant city center. The hotel’s premises are already more than hundred years of age and are a combination of two architecturally important buildings; the one on the Erottaja side is architect’s Frans Sjöström’s signature work, built in 1882. The building on the Bulevard street was built in 1912 and designed by Lars Sonck, one of the most important architects of the national-romantic movement. Guest house activities already started to take place in the building in 1924 and the first actual hotel was opened in 1938. The hotel’s name is based folklore: The by Elias Lönnrot compiled Kanteletar, a collection of Finnish folk poetry published in 1840, includes the ballad “The Death of Elina”. It is a story of passion, betrayal, lies and envy, its main character being the ferocious Klaus Kurki. The name, Klaus Kurki, was carved into the granite of the entrance doorposts in 1938.
Klaus K Hotel honors its tradition and background without getting trapped by its history. The hotel is fresh and different, stylish and experimental, modern and yet legendary. The heart and soul of the hotel was found in the Kalevala – Finland’s dramatic national epic which continues to fascinate travelers from around the world.
Almost all of the furniture, carpets and objects have been tailored specifically for Klaus K Hotel. And the myths of the Kalevala can be found in surprising details.The corridor’s carpets between the guest rooms tell the main creation story from the Kalevala. They explain how the world and the universe were created from seven eggs. In many places throughout the hotel, guests will notice the egg shape. The white wood-made reception desk of Klaus K Hotel is shaped like an egg and depicts a bird’s nest as well with its fantastic, massive ceiling light fixture. In the staircase leading to/from The Klaus K Bar & Lounge, there is a large wall artwork depicting the Genesis according to Kaleva.
