Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.

Fodors review:

“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.

Frommers review:

“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.”

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

What guests liked

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.

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

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

Sublime.

The historical building is impressive. The Ville Valgren Suite is one of the best hotel room I've seen ever. This hotel should be the etalon for 5 star level hotels.

Would have like to stay for a week. There's a hotel spa and Upper Lounge I didn't have time to experience during just a one night stay.

Most enjoyable stay in this beautiful hotel. Fabulous service, comfortable beds and amazing food.

The hotel staff were very accommodating and looked after me and my family very well. The spa area was lovely and I was able to arrange a treatment last minute.

I would of preferred to have a family room instead of interconnecting but it was fine in the end just ended up being very expensive

Fabulous

Good location, nice atmosphere and nice building. Love the area and love the feeling in the area and in Helsinki City center in general. There is something extra that's hard to put in words. The feeling of safety but freedom at the same time as in Europe in general. The European charm and the history mixed with modern. Nice hotel and city indeed.

Not really anything i didn't like. Just that if you're used to 5star hotels especially in Asia the approach in Finland is a bit more casual and not so high class or fancy but that's ok since Finland and Finns itself are very casual and everyone more or less middle-class be it good or bad.
