Hobo Hotel Helsinki | Studio Aisslinger

Colours and Contrasts

studio aisslinger has skillfully incorporated contrasting materials and an engaging colour palette throughout the hotel. Large walls of brick stones serve a dual purpose as both structural elements and peg walls. Large, coloured mirrors not only add a touch of playfulness but also create a sense of spaciousness and depth.

The use of locally sourced terrazzo adds a touch of sophistication, while bespoke landscape furniture pieces and colourful fabrics visually enhance the hotel‘s distinct design narrative, demonstrating studio aisslingers visionary feel for colours and spatial arrangements.

A community-based approach

HOBO Hotel Helsinki is the second addition to the innovative hospitality brand, with plans for more hotels to follow in the near future. After the successful launch of the first hotel in Stockholm in 2017, which was designed by studio aisslinger as well, HOBO Helsinki is aiming to foster local communities through design-driven decisions and create dynamic spaces where guests can connect, collaborate, and engage with their surroundings. Community areas with co-working and meeting spots, a central bar with a stage for life music, cozy rooms and an exceptional culinary scene offer guests an unforgettable stay.

In line with HOBO‘s commitment to sustainability, HOBO Helsinki implements various sustainable planet initiatives, such as cleaning on request, reducing food waste, offering vegetarian menus, and collaborating with local breweries and second-hand markets. As HOBO Helsinki just opened its doors, studio aisslinger sets a new standard for urban hospitality, seamlessly combining creativity, community, and sustainability.
