A block brimming with Oulu life
May we present to you our vibrant city hotel Original Sokos Hotel Arina. The hotel is in a prime location, right next to the Rotuaari ball sculpture.
Access to the hotel by car is via Asemakatu and Kirkkokatu, as Isokatu is closed due to demolition work near the old OP bank building.
Traffic arrangements 14-16 August 2026 Kirkkokatu will be closed in front of the City Hall due to a major event from 14 to 16 August 2026. As a result, access to the hotel will exceptionally be via Torikatu during this period.
Intro
A block brimming with Oulu life
Our beloved home town of Oulu is full of stories. As a result of the renovation completed in 2022, all our rooms now have a story of their own too. How do the lingering warmth of a Summer night, the journey upstream of the wild Salmon or the rich smell of Tar sound? Our breakfast buffet and restaurant menus feature both local produce as well as influences from world cuisines. And to round off the evening, why not pop into the hotel’s own wine bar. Our staff always have a tip or two about the best places to go for those who want them. We want you to enjoy being our guest and wish a very good night in Oulu!
