Situated in the heart of Espoo, just a stone’s throw from Helsinki, the newly-opened Hotel Matts is a gateway to everything Finland’s capital region has to offer. With the Matinkylä metro station right at its doorstep, the hotel is a prime location for both business and leisure travellers.
Espoo’s natural beauty combined with its bustling urban amenities provides visitors with an abundance of activities and services to enjoy year-round. From stunning coastal scenery to convenient transport connections, Hotel Matts is more than just a place to stay – it’s a hub for exploring the best of southern Finland.
Whether interested in shopping, dining, or simply taking in the scenery, Espoo has something for everyone. The nearby Iso Omena shopping centre is one of the region’s largest, boasting a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. And nature enthusiasts will appreciate the easy access to stunning trails and coastal paths that make Espoo a haven for outdoor activities.
A perfect blend of accessibility and tranquillity
One of the hotel’s standout features is its proximity to Matinkylä metro station, just a two-minute walk away. This makes it easy for guests to travel to and from Helsinki city centre without the need for a car. “The hotel’s location and easy accessibility make it a prime location both for leisure and business,” says Maria Koskinen, chief operating officer at Kassiopeia Hotels & Restaurants. The Finnish hospitality chain is known for its high-quality hotels, restaurants, and meeting services across the country, including the popular tourist destination Levi in Finnish Lapland.
Hotel Matts offers a wide range of accommodations designed to meet the needs of every guest, from solo travellers to large families, with options ranging from standard hotel rooms to fully equipped apartments. The hotel also provides adjoining rooms, ideal for families or groups who want to stay connected while enjoying their own space. For those seeking a touch of luxury, the suites include private saunas, adding a quintessentially Finnish touch to the stay.
Experience Nordic cuisine at its finest
The hotel’s restaurant Freja is a culinary destination in its own right, offering a modern take on Nordic cuisine. With a menu that emphasises high-quality, seasonal ingredients, the restaurant serves up a variety of dishes that reflect the best of the region’s culinary traditions. Whether sitting down for breakfast, lunch, à la carte dinner, or a weekend brunch, you will find that every meal is crafted with care and a passion for great food.
Freja’s bar is equally inviting, offering a selection of wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks in a stylish, atmospheric setting. In the summer months, the restaurant extends its offerings to an outdoor terrace, allowing guests to dine al fresco and enjoy the long Nordic evenings.
For those planning a special event, the rooftop on the hotel’s seventh floor provides a stunning backdrop. With an indoor area that seats 42 and a terrace that can accommodate up to 140 people, this versatile space is perfect for meetings, parties, or private gatherings. Regardless of the occasion, the experienced team will help to create an unforgettable experience.
Commitment to sustainability
Offering modern comfort and convenience, Hotel Matts is also committed to sustainability. Recently awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the hotel is recognised for its efforts to minimise environmental impact. In fact, all Kassiopeia hotels have been awarded the prestigious ecolabel, and the company is proud to be able to prove how eco-friendly practices such as minimising waste, serving sustainable food and staff training are part of everyday activities. “Sustainability is one of our core values, and it’s something that we integrate into our daily operations,” Koskinen adds.
With its ideal location, stylish accommodations and top-notch services, this hotel offers a perfect blend of urban convenience and natural beauty. “Hotel Matts is an excellent base for exploring Espoo, Helsinki, and the surrounding region,” Koskinen adds. “From the ease of metro access to the allure of Nordic cuisine, every aspect of the hotel is designed to provide a memorable stay for our guests.”
