The building that now houses Sokos Hotel Villa used to be a granary, as you can see in the hotel's decor. The building is an important feature of the restored old Tampere city center. Hotel Villa has a central location near the railway station, Tampere-talo, Tullintori shopping center and the University of Tampere. A wide variety of services as well as Tampere's versatile cultural possibilities are all within walking distance. Thanks to this and a moderate price level Hotel Villa is very popular among both business and leisure travelers.
