From the space, you can see over the rooftops of Oulu's city center, and with binoculars, you can spot what can be seen further away!

Abstract Sensory Journey – what does Oulu happiness look like, feel like, and sound like?

Designed by KaikuArt and implemented by Original Sokos Hotel Arina, the Abstract Sensory Journey is an experience consisting of seven sensory points throughout the hotel. At each point, you can experience art through different senses and reflect on the emotions it evokes. You can get the materials from our reception and follow the route independently.

The complete experience will be ready in February 2026, but you can experience it now and follow its development. Read more about the Abstract Sensory Journey here.
