Overview

Aurora from your pillow, with Santa next door

Arctic TreeHouse Hotel is a Scandinavian-design treehouse hotel on the Arctic Circle, next to SantaPark and within walking distance of Santa Claus Village — around sixty stilted timber suites, each built around a floor-to-ceiling panoramic window for northern-lights and forest views from bed. Cosy Nordic interiors and private decks run throughout, with the larger ArcticScene suites and two-bedroom GlassHouse chalets adding private saunas, fireplaces and room for families of up to six. The setting is the heart of Finnish Lapland: the hotel stands at Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, next to SantaPark and Joulukka and a short walk from Santa Claus Village, with husky and reindeer farms, the Ranua wildlife park and the wide forests of Lapland all close. Rakas Restaurant serves Lappish cooking, husky rides and reindeer wait on the doorstep, and the aurora alarm wakes guests when the lights appear over the trees. Northern lights from your pillow, with Santa next door.

Accommodation

Suites and chalets

Around sixty keys run from twenty-seven-square-metre Arctic TreeHouse Suites with panoramic forest windows to fifty-five-square-metre ArcticScene Executive Suites with fireplaces and private saunas and fifty-square-metre two-bedroom GlassHouse chalets for up to six. Stilted among the timber and the snow, each is built around a floor-to-ceiling window framing the forest and the aurora, the cosy Nordic interiors and private decks a warm base after a day in the Lappish cold. The panoramic windows turn the bed into a front-row seat for the aurora, the GlassHouse chalets adding two bedrooms and a private sauna for families of up to six.

Food & Drink

Dining

Rakas Restaurant and Bar plates Lappish cooking from local ingredients with a modern twist, joined by a morning buffet to start an Arctic day and festive gala packages over the holidays. It is regional Lappish dining at the heart of the Arctic Circle, the menu leaning on reindeer, fish and forest produce. Rakas leans on Lappish produce, and the morning buffet sets up a day of huskies and reindeer before the lights return over the trees at dusk.

Wellbeing

Private saunas

There is no central spa; instead the larger ArcticScene suites and GlassHouse chalets have their own private saunas, the Finnish way to warm up after a day in the snow, with fireplaces in the executive units. Wellness here is private and in-suite, the sauna and the fire the reward after husky rides and aurora hunts, the lights framed from the panoramic window.

Activities & Experiences

Signature Experiences

Aurora, Santa and the Lappish winter define a stay — watch the northern lights from your pillow in season, walk to Santa Claus Village and SantaPark, and take husky rides and meet reindeer from the doorstep. Lappish cooking at Rakas, the Arctic Circle itself, snowmobiling and the wide forests of Lapland all lie within reach, the aurora alarm waking guests when the lights appear. Santa Claus Village and SantaPark are a short walk, making the hotel a natural Christmas base, with the aurora alarm calling guests out when the lights appear.
