The newly renovated Radisson Blu in Espoo is ready for business

Radisson Blu in Espoo Otaniemi has opened on 20th September. The hotel was closed for renovation for nine months and now the 208 rooms, hallways, reception area, the Italian restaurant Ranta and conference rooms have new and improved interiors.

We were asked to create a cozy and elegant environment that would suit the high quality demanding and international travelers. The rooms are now more spacious; the big desks were replaced with movable worktops. The surrounding nature was brought inside with photographic wallpapers which can be found in all of the rooms and in the reception. The reception area was designed so that it also accommodates the business travelers as a working area. The interior design was created by Hanna Gullstén.
