Location
Lilla Roberts is located between Helsinki's busiest business district and the most prestigious residential area in the city's ultra-cool Design District. The neighbourhood features many restaurants, bars, shops, sights, museums and art galleries, and you'll also be just a short walk from the Esplanade Park and other attractions.
Design & style
Lilla Roberts' interior is trendy and stylish with lots of Art Deco features. The atmosphere is inviting, warm and cosy, with a twist of elegant luxury. Large windows and high ceilings create a sense of old-world refinement amidst the bustle of a contemporary city. The hotel is built in the premises of a former electrical substation (1909) and a former police station (1974-2012) combining modern facilities with a rich history. The building was created by architect Selim A. Lindqvist in 1909 and the hotel's interior was designed by Jaakko Puro.
