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 5 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 Olympia Hotel, Helsinki.
