What Hotel Kämp does

Hotel Kämp is Finland's only grand hôtel, a five-star luxury property that has operated continuously since 1887 at Pohjoisesplanadi 29 in central Helsinki. Operated by Kämp Oy (a subsidiary of Kämp Collection Hotels, owned by Strawberry), the property offers 179 rooms and suites — including the Mannerheim Suite and Kämp Suite — and is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation due to complete in 2026, with capacity expanding to more than 210 rooms via the adjacent Helander building (acquired with co-investor Ilmarinen). The operational footprint includes the fine-dining restaurant À La Kämp, the cocktail-focused Kämp Bar, the Kämp Wellness spa (to be superseded by a 1,200 sqm Kämp Spa opening July 15, 2026), and nine meeting and event venues including the historic Mirror Room (Peilisali).

The revenue model is multi-stream and transaction-based: room revenue (with seasonal and length-of-stay pricing, including a 15% discount for 2–3 night stays and a complimentary fourth night for 4-night stays), food and beverage (À La Kämp fine dining, Kämp Bar, breakfast at EUR 45 for non-guests), spa and wellness treatments (EUR 130–230 per service), meetings and events across dedicated spaces, gift cards, and curated packages such as the Sky High Experience (EUR 3,300+ with Helsinki Citycopter) and Christmas packages from EUR 660. Go-to-market is sales-led, supported by consortium distribution through Leading Hotels of the World (Leaders Club loyalty program) and the Fine Hotels + Resorts credit card program, alongside direct booking via the hotel website (SynXis engine) and dedicated phone sales teams.

Underpinning the business is a lightweight technology stack: SynXis for room reservations, Try.be for spa bookings, Giftup for gift card commerce, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for digital marketing, and an AI chatbot for guest inquiries. Customer segments span luxury leisure travelers, corporate MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) groups, wedding and celebration events, and wellness guests. Distribution combines direct sales, consortium channels, online travel agencies, and physical presence at the Helsinki property. The property is operated under the Strawberry/Kämp Collection Hotels portfolio alongside other Nordic luxury assets, while the real estate is held by Ilmarinen.
