Hotel Lilla Roberts is the place for travellers who want character and calm close to the centre. It stands at Pieni Roobertinkatu 1-3 in Kaartinkaupunki, a quiet street between the business district and the elegant residential blocks, a few minutes from the Esplanadi and the boutiques of the Design District. Its 130 rooms in five categories combine modern comforts with the building’s quirky 1930s Art Deco interior and other throwbacks to the past, in moody, warm colours. Krog Roba serves Nordic classics with local ingredients and good vegetarian choices, and Bar Lilla e is a cosy living-room bar that draws locals as well as guests. There is a 24-hour fitness centre and a secluded courtyard patio for summer evenings.
Living in it: the location is ideal for walking to the Esplanadi, the Market Square and the restaurants of Punavuori, and the street is quiet at night.
Trade-offs: there is no spa or pool, and some standard rooms are compact. For a sauna, book Löyly or the Allas Sea Pool, both an easy trip away.
