Modular workspace retreat
A glass-roofed atrium work lounge anchors the space, featuring tree-planted workstations, stepped seating, and a steady mix of travelers.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
App-controlled fold-down desks and beds convert sleeping quarters into functional daytime offices in smart rooms.
Notable
Hand-carved rooftop log saunas, a cold plunge pool, outdoor hot tub, and an indoor relaxation bath.
Listed
A central glass-roofed atrium work lounge and a rooftop terrace bar offering weekend summer DJ sessions.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Positioned along Mannerheimintie in Ruskeasuo, the property borders the trails of Helsinki Central Park with tram ten heading directly downtown.
The rooms
Mechanized beds and desks fold away on demand, transforming compact sleeping quarters into daytime offices with sustainable Finnish fittings and smart controls.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor relaxation pool sits under slatted timber ceilings, and an outdoor cold plunge adjoins the rooftop log saunas.
Gym and fireside lounge
Cardio machines overlook the central glass atrium, and a suspended central fireplace warms the poolside lounge.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Bistro ELO serves seasonal Nordic dishes along blond-wood banquettes, and Lounge & Bar SUO pours evening cocktails.
How it began
Conceived around a dual-use philosophy, the building avoids vacant spaces by seamlessly converting office facilities into hotel rooms every evening.

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