Spent a birthday visit in Rovaniemi to see and feel surrounded by the Lapland winter splendor. Not disappointed! Our modern, clean room had a floor to ceiling window that looked out onto the snow-covered, tree filled mountain. I loved the color palate and simplicity of the room’s design that is quintessentially Finland. And don’t get me started on the sauna- while some might find it strange that the sauna has a glass wall open to the bedroom-the ingenious design allows for access to that amazing view (there are curtains for privacy if needed).
The hotel service was friendly, professional, and helpful.
The cafe was perfect for light meals/snacks and a drink at the bar, we recommend trying the local Cloudberry liqueur. The Sky Kitchen’s menu, dining room, and view were an amazing 5 star experience.
We didn’t rent a car, but found the local taxi/shared ride service were easily accessed (we used the shared ride app ‘Menevä’).
Lastly, the slopes are steps away from the front door- we got a courtesy ride down to the base to rent our skis.
