A FROZEN MASTERPIECE RISING UP FROM A SNOWY WONDERLAND, THE ARCTIC SNOWHOTEL OFFERS AN UTTERLY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR GUESTS


The Arctic SnowHotel is located in the heart of Finnish Lapland, where the Arctic Circle casts its magical glow. It’s one of the largest entirely snow- built hotels in the Nordic countries, surrounded by forests and located just a half-hour drive from Rovaniemi Airport.


Snow Hotel Since 2008, this remarkable structure has captured the imaginations of countless visitors from around the globe. Ice is harvested every year from a nearby lake for the ice sculptures and for building the SnowHotel itself. The grand opening is celebrated every year on 15 December, and the season concludes at the end of March. The SnowHotel features a vast amount of snow and ice art, including reliefs, sculptures and even furniture made entirely of snow and ice. The hotel offers superior rooms for two or three


people, as well as family rooms for four to six people. Guests can also choose one of the unique suites, each with its own theme and unique sculptures.


136 Inside the hotel, the temperature is always close


to 0C, even if it’s below -20C outside. The rooms are equipped with comfortable mattresses and a warm sleeping bag. Thick snow walls dampen sounds, and amid the ice sculptures, the atmosphere is magical. If sleeping in the snow hotel becomes too exciting


in the middle of the night, Arctic SnowHotel also provides a warm area where guests can continue their sleep. The price of staying in the snow hotel includes a guided tour of the area and breakfast at the restaurant. Upon check-out, guests receive a certificate of their stay in Arctic conditions.


Northern Lights The dream of many a traveller is to witness the Northern Lights. Guests of the Arctic SnowHotel have a great chance to do so because there are no streetlights or large settlements near the hotel. There’s little need for a separate Northern Lights safari — simply step outside and gaze at the sky. Every winter, a special ‘Northern Lights guard’ is employed by the Arctic SnowHotel. This guard


works at night, keeping a keen eye on the sky and Northern Lights forecasts. When the lights are visible in the sky above the hotel, the guard wakes up guests who have indicated interest, so they can go outside in time to enjoy the magical glow. Arctic SnowHotel’s Glass Igloos offer an


alternative for Northern Lights hunting. They provide a 360-degree view of the sky and a Northern Lights alert system that tells you when to dim the lights and look to the sky. In the Kota Restaurant’s Sky Bar, you can enjoy drinks while gazing at the sky through a special roof window designed for stargazing and viewing the Northern Lights.


Restaurants The hotel’s own Ice Restaurant serves dinner in a unique environment, with ice and snow sculptures adorning the restaurant hall, and even the tables and benches are made of snow. The dishes are made from pure, locally sourced ingredients. A dessert served on an ice plate is an unmissable part of every Ice Restaurant menu.
