Hotel Kämp Review

Opposite the Esplanade Park stands this splendid, luxurious, late-19th-century cultural landmark, now a member of the Starwood group. In the past the hotel was the site of a theater and was the meeting point for Finland's most prominent politicians, artists, and celebrities, including Mannerheim, Saarinen, Gallen-Kallela, and former president Paasikivi, who became one of the hotel owners. Sibelius himself often visited the hotel and dedicated a song to it. Take the beautiful, sweeping staircase up to the grand ballroom, known as the mirror room. When not unwinding in one of the spa's three different saunas or its 10 treatment rooms, guests can borrow iPods, stereos, and video game systems from the lobby.

    great world class hotel

    we spent two nites here in sept, 2009. we paid by cash and points from starwoods. lobby is very plain. our exec. room was fantastic, bright and comfortable. room service was slow and awkward.. reception staff were exceedingly nice. FANTASTIC LOCATION... great for tourists and business people...tons of restaurants all around...this is trully the center of helsinki.. shops all around..

    Luxury in a top location

    The Kamp is the place to stay in Helsinki if price is not an object. If there is something "on" in town then the prices can be eye watering, but at quieter times then whist still not cheap you get real luxury, quiet rooms and great service. It is right in the heart of the city, 5 minutes walk from the harbour where the sightseeing cruises go, 2 minutes from teh coach tours, 1 minute from the top shops and surrounded by restaurants.
