The prison milieu

vankilamiljoo 
The Katajanokka prison building, protected by the National Board of Antiquities, forms a unique setting for a hotel visit. The old prison cells have undergone a thorough transformation. By uniting two or three cells and adding a modern interior design, 106 high-class hotel rooms with all the modern conveniences have been created. The most authentic prison atmosphere can be found in the Jailbird restaurant in the basement floor. Only a few short steps, and you are out in the sunny and verdant Linnanpuisto park.

The park

puutarha 
It's important to get a breath of fresh air after a day in the noise and dust of the city. The Linnanpuisto park inside the prison walls is a true oasis in the middle of the stone city. The terrace that will open in June will be ideal for hungry and thirsty sun-worshippers. The park is a safe and fun place for children to play, with no need to fear cars or getting lost. You can experience the sea wind and salt water by taking a walk around the Katajanokka and Market Square area or touring the extensive archipelago near Helsinki.

 

Scene of many events

The hotel offers a fresh option for event organisers, guaranteed to bring the guests' imagination to life. The old chapel of the prison has been renovated as a magnificent assembly hall for unforgettable weddings and festive conferences. The Jailbird restaurant offers a tasty menu for groups of all sizes, plus entertainment packages with many themes to choose from. Accommodation can naturally be arranged under the same roof. In the summer, the Linnanpuisto park becomes an additional recreation room and the arena for various outdoor events.
