Design takes centre stage at Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport

Clarion hotels were chosen by Helsinki Design Week 2017 as a main partner, with both the Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport and Clarion Hotel Helsinki holding happenings and exhibitions over the 10 days of the world famous design festival. Clarion Hotels have made great design an essential part of their hotels, with delightful décor throughout. The furniture and fittings in the common areas, and in the private rooms, has been chosen to reflect the international vibes of the Airport area, but also to feel personal and comfortable. The lamps that light the public spaces are fascinating, the arm chairs deep and comfy, the general ambiance one of relaxed modernity. Clarion Hotels believe that great design makes for a better experience.
