Hotel Otava was a hotel in Pori, Finland, that operated between 1857 and 1985. On its time of closing, Hotel Otava was the oldest hotel-restaurant in Finland. The Neo-Renaissance building is designed by the Swedish architect C. J. von Heideken. Today it works as an office building for the city administration. Hotel Otava was named after the Finnish-language name of the constellation Big Dipper.[1]
The building is located on the same block with the 1853 established Pori Brewery and the 1884 opened Pori Theatre. It is a part of the old town which is listed as a cultural environment of national significance by the Finnish National Board of Antiquities.[2]
