Welcome to the Daughter of the Baltic Sea, as Helsinki is nicknamed. And a very warm welcome to Hotel Kämp, Finland’s luxurious legacy of hospitality.
For over 100 years the Kämp rules one of the most beautiful corners of the lovely Esplanade, that used to dived the city in a Southern and a Northern hemisphere.

It was the haunt of every discerning traveller who visited Finland. Its historical roots lay in the days when the Russian tsar ruled Finland as a Grand Duchy. The Kämp was instrumental as a meeting place for a group called Young Finns, a revolutionary circle that changed the social surface of the country. Here at Hotel Kämp conspiratorial meetings were held and many cornerstones of this young republic called Finland, founded in1917, were laid.

Meet the great names of a bygone era, from Sibelius, the genius musician, to the great artist Gallen-Kallela. Today legendary artists and international statesmen make Hotel Kämp their home away from home.

From famous historic names to the great personalities of our days Hotel Kämp is their first address in Finland, and this book tells its story.

The back of the book’s jacket shows a first drawing of the hotel, Jean Sibelius, Under German siege, A funny party, The legendary Kämp ducks, Elton John, and a steamer in a Fjord; Marshal Mannerheim, Tina Turner, Björnstjerne Björnson, Eino Leino, a detail from the famous Favén painting and pop group Bon Jovi.
