About the rooms

The hotel exudes tranquillity with an interior design in soothing shades of cream and grey, a style that is consistently implemented in all rooms and suites. The furniture and lighting come from RH, while the walls are adorned by paintings by Finnish artist Pia Feinik. In addition, cream-coloured, organic clay sculptures by Finnish artist Hanna Heino enhance the elegant and serene atmosphere. What sets Hotel Maria apart from other luxury hotels is that almost every room and suite has a unique size and shape. This is the result of respecting the original structure and wooden beams of these imposing buildings.
