A luxury hotel designed around the lavish landscape

A luxury hotel that’s part of the lavish landscape

This modern, elegant hotel never lets you forget the magical world you're exploring. It's at the top of the fell, blending seamlessly into the landscape, with lots of large windows in case the Northern Lights put on a show. Either way, you can look forward to the endless sky, the other-worldly forest, and the twinkling lights of the town.

Needless to say, it's perfect for families too. It's a luxurious hotel to stay in, pure comfort with large windows in Type A and some Type C suites. The glass cabins are an option too, where you might wonder where the sky ends and your dreams begin.

Try your own private, traditional sauna, with large scenic windows to check out the landscape - there’s barely a spot where you don’t feel part of the magic outside.

Head to Restaurant Kaunis for a 3-course buffet dinner, using fish from Inari lake and reindeer meat from local herders. They keep everything as local as possible.

The hotel has impressive sustainability credentials, using geothermal heating in the rooms and main building. It’s also powered by renewable energy. The bar is just next to it and is a cosy place to relax with a drink.

It’s approximately 1.5km from the main village, just jump on the ski bus to get to and from the town. Saariselkä’s Ski Centre, as well as a newly-built 1.8 km long toboggan run, are just a minute’s walk.
