What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms are elegant and somewhat minimalist, with stylized antlers above the beds as a nod to the brand’s origins.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tampere Hall sits directly across the street, and the central railway station is a short walk away.
The rooms
Stylized reindeer antlers hang above the beds, and nine rooms have their own private saunas.
The saunas
A top-floor relaxation path connects Finnish saunas with an infrared room programmed for hot yoga and nature projections.
Restaurant
Dabbal Kitchen & Bar
Dinner brings multi-course surprise menus, and mornings start with Nordic buffet spreads under amber pendant lamps.
At the table
The lounge bar serves evening cocktails and snacks, opening onto a sunlit atrium and a summer timber deck.
How it began
The 1990 business hotel was remade in 2015 as the group's first address south of the Arctic Circle.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
