Krapi

What Krapi does

Krapi (legal entity Krapihovi Oy) is a privately held Finnish hospitality company founded in 1911 and operated by co-owners Anne Holma and Pekka Holma from a historic estate on the shores of Lake Tuusulanj\u00e4rvi in Tuusula, on Finland's first museum road Rantatie, approximately 30 minutes from Helsinki. The company runs an integrated hospitality complex built around Hotelli Krapi (hotel accommodation with capacity for up to 150 guests across rooms, cottages, and group lodging), Ravintola Krapihovi (traditional Finnish banquet-style restaurant using on-site farm, smokehouse, butcher, and bakery), Kes\u00e4ravintola Mankeli (seasonal summer restaurant), seven distinct saunas including a 1930s smoke sauna, and the Krapin Paja cultural and event venue. Supporting assets include 15 meeting rooms, event halls accommodating up to 200-250 guests, the Krapin Umen wellness center, and an in-house production unit, PajaEvents.

The business operates across eight revenue streams (accommodation, F&B, event venue rental, sauna rental, wellness services, event production, cultural event ticketing, and activity packages) priced per-event or per-unit, typically in the \u20ac49 to \u20ac300 per-person range with venue rentals starting from \u20ac600. The underlying technology is a standard hospitality stack: a primary marketing site (krapi.fi), an event planning and quote-request platform (kohtaamisia.krapi.fi), and an online shop (kauppa.krapi.fi), with accommodation bookings routed through a third-party platform (ProfitRoom) and restaurant reservations via HotellinX. The company is primarily a domestic operator serving the Uusimaa / Helsinki metro region, with no disclosed international footprint.

Go-to-market is hybrid: an enterprise field-sales motion via a dedicated sales desk (myyntipalvelu) targeting corporate meetings, conferences, weddings, and group events, combined with an event-driven motion leveraging cultural programming (clubs, concerts, summer theater, park concerts) to drive both B2B and B2C demand. Customer segments span corporate clients (B2B), weddings and milestone celebrations, family gatherings, senior groups, cultural event attendees, and individual travelers. The company holds Green Key, Sustainable Travel Finland, and Oiva food safety certifications. Krapin Paja was nominated for Event Venue of the Year in 2025 at both Industry Awards and Evento Awards.
