In a remarkable achievement for hospitality in Finland, Runo Hotel Porvoo has become the first hotel in the country to receive the prestigious Michelin Key. This accolade, which signifies a new benchmark for exceptional hotel quality—akin to the renowned Michelin stars awarded to fine dining establishments—highlights the unique offerings of this boutique hotel.
Founder, owner, and CEO Erkka Hirvonen expressed immense pride in the team’s accomplishments over the past four years, a period marked by both challenges and significant strides. “I am very proud of our team and how we have been able to achieve and maintain our level and uniqueness in such a short time,” he stated in a recent press release. Hirvonen hopes that this recognition will inspire the broader hospitality sector, demonstrating that hotels can provide experiences that are just as sensual and memorable as those found in Michelin-starred restaurants.
