Best Luxury Hotels In Rovaniemi

Cross the Arctic Circle to find accommodation in line with your childhood aspirations. Sleep among the forest pines in your very own treehouse, where 60 modern pods have been designed to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. The restaurant is found in the enclave’s main building, but you can also elect to eat in the snowy outdoors beside a roaring fire, cosily wrapped in fur blankets. And it’ll be a guilt-free getaway – the green roofs have been built with sustainable materials, food is sourced locally, pods have eco showers and are heated using natural gas, while the main building utilises solar energy.

Once Rovaniemi’s City Hall, the Arctic Light Hotel became Nordic Lapland’s first premium hotel back in 2015. Themed to reflect the local landscape and the hotel’s partnership with the WWF, the family-owned brand seeks to raise awareness of global warming. With 57 rooms (some boasting private saunas and starlight headboards), it displays a modern sumptuousness. Guest dine in the Arctic Boulevard restaurant, where the emphasis is on regional and healthy fare; the breakfast menu is world-class and comes from a celebrity chef. However, further eateries, shops, bars, the riverfront and tour meeting points are just a few minutes away on foot.
