RUNO Hotel Porvoo
Rihkamakatu 4, Finland
56 Rooms
Traditional Elegance & Quiet
Housed in a century-old Art Nouveau–style landmark next to Porvoo Old Town’s gate, RUNO Hotel Porvoo occupies a prominent space that’s long been associated with Finnish literary tradition: RUNO means “poem,” Finland’s national poet J. L. Runeberg stayed on the premises in the hotel's prior iteration, and the façade features mythical symbols from Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. Countless other details pay homage to the building’s history, from restored tile fireplaces to renovated antique windows and tables built out of 300-year-old pine floorboards. But after a style overhaul by Studio Joanna Laajisto, RUNO’s interior is also a showcase for modern Nordic design.
The ground floor is airy and open with a cozy bar, one-of-a-kind artworks by youthful Finnish artists, American Shaker-inspired furnishings, and large sofas to sink into. Up an old wooden staircase are quiet rooms outfitted in earthy hues; all have pale parquet flooring, hand-painted wall panels, glowing pendant lights, and custom furniture and fixtures created by Laajisto. Bathrooms are spacious and spa-like with a mix of unexpected details including bespoke bathrobes, high-end hairdryers, and rustic towel racks crafted out of salvaged farm equipment. Upstairs, the fireplace-warmed Attic Sauna offers a contemporary twist on a traditional Scandinavian spa, while downstairs, the RUNO Kitchen and Bar serves updated Finnish classics made with local ingredients.
