By GlobalDataAs part of the project, an automation system of the building will be modified to the hotel’s requirements to conserve energy.
Throughout the renovation, customers can stay at the hotel and shop at the Kämp Galleria, which is located on the same property, noted YIT.
Opened in 1887, the hotel was designed by architect Theodor Höijer.
Ilmarinen project manager Pirjo Pernu said: “We have set a life cycle target of 25 years for the renovation of the Hotel Kämp in cooperation with the Nordic Choice Hotels chain. In addition to the hotel rooms, the building’s legendary spaces such as the hall of mirrors will be thoroughly renovated. Façade renovation and building automation upgrades will achieve significantly better control of energy consumption. The renovation of lighting and kitchen equipment will be based on solutions that are durable, easy to maintain and energy-saving.”
This project is expected to begin at the end of this year and be complete by the end of 2025.
