From a dream
The story of Runo began decades ago, when the hotel’s founder, Erkka Hirvonen, grew up immersed in the daily life of his family’s estate, Rutumi Manor. The days were filled with people enjoying life, staff fully embracing their roles, and moments that felt truly meaningful. The dream of owning a hotel—a place where everyone would feel like they were visiting a dear friend and experience something unforgettable—had come to life.
TIMELESS
Interior designer Joanna Laajisto was the first to step in and bring the vision to life.Joanna Laajistoand her office, as well as architectEve Sarapää. They brought out the soul of Runo by honoring the old while creating a timeless space where you can sense a feeling of tranquility. The interior features plenty of rustic charm, texture, and a countryside feel.
"For me, the best part of the RUNO project was restoring an old, underutilized, and worn-down building and giving it a new lease on life. Lead architect Eveliina Sarapää, who specializes in renovation projects, played a huge role in that. The renovation was carried out to a very high standard by modern requirements, with the goal that the spaces would stand the test of time, both physically and visually. This also applied to the choice of materials and furniture, all of which are high-quality, durable enough for public spaces, and repairable. For example, all the loose furniture in the building is solid wood, and most of it was manufactured in Finland or elsewhere in the Nordic countries," says Joanna Laajisto.
RUNO
The old Valtimo building, a grand structure that has stood for over a hundred years, has held a wealth of history and life within its walls: the city's first cinema, a library, a barbershop, homes for Porvoo residents on the upper floors, and most recently, a tourist information center. Restoring this building, which has seen so much life but had been underutilized in recent years, into a top-tier hotel required a complete renovation.

FOR MOMENTS
Every room in our historic building is unique—the kind where you can easily find your own personal favorite. When restoring the old Valtimo building into a hotel, we wanted to preserve as much of the original structure as possible while cherishing and selecting natural materials and craftsmanship. The result is the Runo atmosphere that prevails in each of our 56 rooms, a place where the mind rests and the body calms down.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
The timeless Lucid tables found by the beds in our rooms delight with their quiet beauty. The tables were designed for Runo by Teppo Lakaniemi, founder of .TEBIAN.'When I designed the Lucid table for RUNO Hotel in 2021, I thought of it more as a side table than a nightstand. How is it used now, and what if, at some point in life, it’s no longer used as a nightstand? It should still be relevant. That way, it would have an eternal life.'
SENSES
Our attic sauna’s 60-minute soothing soundscape combines authentic nature sounds with music to create a relaxing journey through the Finnish seasons, month by month. The RUNO Spa Track was produced by Tunement, a company specializing in sound branding, with the core idea that no matter the season, the sauna is always warm in Finland.
RUNO BIANNUAL
RUNO is a stage for Finnish art, an exhibition open around the clock and accessible to everyone. The exhibition is curated by visual artist Fanny Tavastila.
Our current exhibition, RUNO Biannual IX: In The Presence of Summer, captures the emotional landscape of summer. You will find the exhibition catalogue in our lobby and are invited to explore the group exhibition featuring works by six different artists.
RUNO LIVE
We regularly host a variety of events at RUNO Hotel Porvoo. Once a month, our Jazz Brunch brings live music into the weekend, while RUNO Bar offers an intimate setting for live performances.On selected weekends, you can also join workshops ranging from creativity and art to relaxation and embodied practices.
RUNO RETREATS
Our retreats are designed as the perfect escape from everyday life. Moments of indulgence where you can try new things and learn something new. You get to create with your own hands and simply let go, experiencing what it feels like when everything is taken care of for you.
DESIGN
We love small, soulful details. Objects that have a story and meaning even before they reach us. You’ll find plenty of restored and repurposed items in our decor. We hunt for vintage Arabia ceramics, egg cups, shot glasses, and pitchers at flea markets. Beautiful, functional pieces that stand the test of time. Small details that matter.
