Visit Tampere Award 2025 goes to Uumen Hotels! 🏆

We are thrilled to announce that Uumen Hotels has been awarded the 2025 Visit Tampere Award. The prize was handed out on 26 November at the Visit Festival held at Bläk Boks Arena in Ideapark, Lempäälä. 🤩

The board of Visit Tampere selected Uumen Hotels as the winner — highlighting it as a bold, new actor in Tampere’s hospitality sector, bringing a fresh concept to the city. The award also carries a prize sum of EUR 5,000.

“A bold and flourishing Tampere is an excellent place to create something new, which is why it was a natural choice as the birthplace of the first Uumen hotel. During our opening year, it has been inspiring to see our core idea come to life in practice; our hotel serves as an affordable and peaceful home base from which visitors can head off to their own activities — work, studies or leisure. The warm welcome we’ve received from both our guests and industry partners has been truly heartwarming. It feels like Uumen has been awaited addition to the city” says Eetu Rahkola, entrepreneur and CEO of Uumen Hotels.
