Arctic Light Hotel

Originally the City Hall of Rovaniemi, the family owned Arctic Light Hotel became Nordic Lapland’s first premium hotel when it opened in 2015. A stylish blend of contemporary Finnish design and snug cosiness, this Lapland retreat is a luxuriously feel-good base for exploring this magical region.

From aurora chasing to ski trekking and reindeer or husky safaris, experiences of a lifetime are daily events in the Arctic Circle. You’re a world away, yet the Arctic Light Hotel is just twenty minutes by taxi from Rovaniemi International Airport. Rovaniemi is the provincial capital, and shops, bars and restaurants are within a three-minute walk of the hotel.

The hotel’s own Arctic Boulevard restaurant showcases prime ingredients from northern forests, the Arctic Ocean and pristine Lapland lakes. Wild berries, herbs and vegetables play a starring role in their mouth-watering menu. Don’t miss out on celebrity TV Chef Sara La Fountain’s delicious and healthy breakfast, exclusively created for hotel guests.  

Each one of the hotel’s 57 guest rooms and suites is individually designed around an arctic theme. Eye-catching features like starlit headboards conjure up dreamlike nights under Northern skies. Many rooms include their own private sauna, and look out for polar bears. Pictures throughout the hotel celebrate their partnership with WWF, raising awareness of the threat of global warming to polar bear habitats.
