Our Story
PORVOO
Discover the charm of Porvoo, often called the San Sebastian or Cinque Terre of Finland. RUNO Hotel, meaning "poem" in Finnish, was born from a dream to create a luxurious yet welcoming hotel where culture, design, and aesthetics harmonize. Set in the century-old Valtimontalo building, RUNO preserves its rich heritage—once home to Porvoo’s first inn, where Finland’s national poet J.L. Runeberg stayed. Blending art nouveau elegance with modern Nordic aesthetics, RUNO offers a unique escape, embodying timeless beauty and Finnish traditions.
