Accessibility inside the building

Paasitorni is accessible to disabled visitors with the exception of four meeting rooms (the Library, the Boardroom, room 501 and Huippu). Room 501 will be accessible by lift once the hotel construction work is complete in the end of summer 2012.

There are two lifts in the building. Lift 1 runs between floor 1 (vestibule), floor 2 (Restaurant Paasi), and floors 3 and 4. Lift 2 runs between floor 1 (vestibule) and floors 1 ½ , 2 ½  (Congress Hall) and 3 ½. To move from Restaurant Paasi to the Congress Hall, for example, you will need to take lift 1 to the vestibule and then take lift 2 to floor 2 ½.
