Helsinki’s skyline now features Katajanokan Laituri, a modern wooden structure housing the Solo Sokos Hotel Pier 4, aiming to be Finland’s most environmentally sustainable hotel. The building, designed by Anttinen Oiva Architects, showcases sustainable construction methods and incorporates features like solar panels, a green rooftop, and flood protection. The hotel offers 164 rooms, including sea view options, alongside amenities like a seaside cafe, conference rooms, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Market Square. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability extends to its restaurant, Harbore, which serves Nordic-inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients.
