Hotelli (Hotel) features the romantic charm and luxury of Helsinki's hotels. Each motif introduced different workers of the hotel. Pack your bags and dive into a world of champagne glasses and chandeliers, men in evening suits and women with flowing dresses, parasols, and flower-topped hats. Ride in the horse-carriage and have afternoon tea in the hotel lounge. Welcome! So glad you're visiting Helsinki, enjoy your stay in style.
The decoration of the lovely black-and-white drawings for the print can well be recognized as Raija Uosikkinen's signature illustrations. They are full of delightful detail and romantic story-book whimsy. They will help you stay in the Helsinki mood, while waiting for your next trip to Finland.
The series included 6 motifs: Piccolo (hotel entrance with bell-boys), The Bartender (hotel cocktail lounge with bartenders), The chef (hotel kitchen with cooks), The Porter (hotel front desk with concierge staff), The waiter (hotel restaurant with waiters), The Head-waiter (hotel cafe lounge with butler). The name of the hotel which ordered the plate, is often printed on the back, such as Hotel Vaakuna, Hotel Hesperia, Hotel Olympia, Helsinki Hôtel, Helsinki Hotels.
