Arctic Treehouse Hotel

Arctic Treehouse Hotel

Arctic Treehouse Hotel sits six kilometres outside central Rovaniemi, built in 2016 with only 31 rooms, a scale that keeps its halls quiet and makes the soundproof rooms genuinely so. Rooms across the property come with bathrobes, slippers, minibars and, in several cases, an indoor fireplace, the kind of detail that sets it apart from a standard chain-hotel room list. Two of its room types show the range: the Standard Queen House, 269 square feet with a queen bed and mountain view, sleeps up to eight adults and four children in one unit, while the 377-square-foot Standard Double Suite, with twin beds, its own kitchen, safe, telephone and private bathroom, suits a couple who would rather self-cater. Downstairs there is a bar, a restaurant, a library, a picnic area and a barbecue for warmer months, plus a spa and massage room for anyone back from the skiing trails or hiking paths nearby. Bikes are free to borrow, and a garden, terrace and sun deck give somewhere to sit outside between activities. Staff work across English, German, Russian and Spanish, useful given the airport transfer runs at 72 euros each way rather than being included. A conference hall and wheelchair access cover business trips and accessibility needs, but the real appeal is quieter than that: this suits people who came for the outdoors and want a room built around it, not those chasing a city-centre address or nightlife. Pets are not allowed. What a standard city hotel cannot offer is what this one is named for: the view itself, built into the rooms as much as into the property's own name. Arctic Treehouse Hotel keeps to 31 rooms six kilometres outside Rovaniemi, each one facing the surrounding hills. Room types range from a family-sized Standard Queen House to a self-catering Double Suite with its own kitchen. It suits travellers who came for the outdoors, not the nightlife.
