Hotel Kämp, Helsinki
Expert reviews
“The local Kamp hotel group has a property to suit most design-minded travelers, from the flagship Hotel Kamp, with 179 luxurious rooms and suites beside the grand Esplanadi park, to the Hotel Fabian, with 58 cozy rooms and a more contemporary style.”
Featured in 36 Hours in Helsinki by The New York Times.
“Chandeliers mix with Finnish contemporary artwork for an ambiance steeped in history (the hotel dates to 1887) but still up with the times, as you’d expect in Scandinavia. Luxury boutiques, diverse dining, Helsinki’s pretty harbor and the city’s many cultural attractions are all just out the door.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Helsinki.
“Hotel Kämp is housed in a beautiful 19th-century building, across from the Esplenade Park in the heart of Helsinki. It features spacious rooms that combine historic elegance with modern facilities.”
“A Helsinki emblem, this grand, stylish hotel is where the likes of Sibelius and Gallen-Kallela thrashed out their ideas. Its romantic marble lobby seduces you through to historic rooms furnished with antiques and then surprises in the marble bathrooms with trademark rubber ducks.”

All you need to know
Established in 1887, Hotel Kämp was once a premier destination for Europe’s aristocracy. Today, the hotel has been renovated and restored to its original form, hosting a diverse array of travelers every year. Nestled in the heart of the city, across from Esplanade Park, Hotel Kämp is near plenty of cultural attractions, eateries, and shopping. Within walking distance, you can find the city museum, the harbor, the central railway station, and the presidential palace, so you will never run out of things to do.
The hotel’s atmosphere and design are just as impressive as its location. As you walk in, the lobby will greet you with glistening stone materials, hardwoods, vintage furniture, and, best of all, a magnificent staircase leading to a glamorous ballroom. Rooms have a 19th-century atmosphere, showcasing reproduced antique furnishings, marble bathrooms, internet access, and satellite TVs. The most impressive suites have their own private sauna, but the complimentary spa facilities are just as fantastic.
While Hotel Kämp has 24-hour room service, you will want to visit Brasserie Kämp, the onsite restaurant. This eatery serves a variety of international cuisine showcased on the chef’s three-course tasting menu. This hotel also serves breakfast in the morning and drinks at the Upper Lounge and Kämp Bar in the evening. If you’re in the mood for a more traditional Helsinkian meal, you can walk to one of the many nearby restaurants serving Finnish staples, such as smoked reindeer and fried herring.

Hotel Kamp is an exquistie hotel boasting a terrific staff, well-appointed rooms and great food.
Hote Kamp is the epitome of excellence. The location is ideal, food exquisite, and my room was large and well appointed. The staff was more than friendly and always went out of their way to assist and accommodate any question or need I had.
I have nothing negative to say about the hotel. It was one of the best stays I have ever had in my 25 years of international travel.

Great location. They organised an excellant tour guide for us for a full day tour.
Great location to tour Helsinki
There was a big crane outside our room but they upgraded us to a suite, so it wasn't an issue being in a larger room.

rich and elegant in everyway.
Not too far from train and bus station. You can walk a couple of blocks to get there. We took uber first to get there due to having luggage and snow. It closes to everything. The entire hotel, every corner and details are elegant European styles. Breakfast is amazing. We loved every moment there. We especially loved eating in the glass eating area looking out. All I can say is WOW! We missed afternoon tea and refreshment time due to busy sight seeing.

Classic beautiful hotel on a beautiful central part.
Classic hotel in the best location in Helsinki. We were in the historic wing and the rooms were lovely, traditional and more spacious. Breakfast was wonderful. We normally don’t eat dinner at a hotel, but we were jet-lagged. What a beautiful experience Brasserie Kamp was. We sat in the glass pavilion having a light dinner gazing out at the Esplahade as the snow fell.
I had no complaints. Everything was perfect.’

Excellent stay in a historic location with exceptional service.
The staff was first rate! Service at every level was excellent. Location was perfect for access to the main sites of Helsinki. The room was quite small by American standards but normal for Europe. The Hotel is well over 100 years old but perfectly maintained. You can feel the history. Breakfast was excellent. The variety of options was fabulous.
The dinner options in the restaurant could be larger.

Next time I come to Helsinki, I’ll stay in Hotel Kämp… so that speaks for itself!
Breakfast was really good. The variety was appreciable and food was appetising.
I was there just for a night ( not even 24 hours). I liked what I got.

Worth the value. Make sure to upgrade to business class for the privacy of the bar.
The concierge was incredibly helpful in Sistine with a reservation, local stores, and other needs we had. She went out of her way to assist. I also loved the afternoon tea.
The very long wait at the bar for a drink. However, it was a busy night, and I must note the concierge was kind enough to offer us a better seat than where we were originally sitting.

Great service, great breakfast, great location, bath and shower, larger room, quiet room

Great
Big ,spacious,comfortable rooms,I actually thought it was a suite, perfect location you can't get anything to top that in Helsinki,we opted for room service which was on time,I will say for continental breakfast they need to polish it a bit, there are smaller hotels who have better breakfast than that with smaller amount,Eggs Benedict was no were near to perfection,I know they can do better than that, otherwise all was great.
Nothing I can think of!

Exceptional hotel, though bar staff was snooty, but it was a busy Saturday night.

Very good business dinner in the Brasserie and meeting only 200 meters from the hotel.
The location is very good. Most of the staff were good. The room was quiet and clean. The food in the Brasserie was good and tasty. The check-out was quick and professional.
The check-in was a little bit slow to this level of hotel. The wine selections in the Brasserie were very limited. I asked for wake-up call to be done by phone, it never came. A lot of construction is going on around the hotel

Enjoying to stay there, if we visit Helsinki next time, we would stay in Hotel Kamp definitely
Very good breakfast and good location, as hotel location is very good, we can reach most of tourist attractions by foot under nice weather in Helsinki. Really good experience in Helsinki. By the way, upper lounge in Hotel Kamp is very good, we had a nice time there, good food, good service.
Housekeeping should’ve room for improvement. Sometimes forgot to prepare face tower. Most of time , cleaning is done very well, however sometimes cleaning is not up to standard

If we visit Helsinki again ,we definitely will stay at Hotel Kamp

Overall a beautiful hotel with old-time elegance in a great location.
Excellent location, beautiful flower arrangements, breakfast was delicious, lovely bar and brasserie, bathroom in room was lovely
Staff and overall vibe was sometimes aloof, breakfast was delicious, but always identical (no change from day to day), rooms were a little tired, spa didn’t have any water features
