5-Star Hotels in Lapland, Finland

The igloo is very new and nicely decorated! It's just a 10 mins walk to Santa claus village. Breakfast and dinner are great! Front desk staff is friendly and they explain everything in a professional and friendly manner. This hotel is also the pick up point for our icebreaker cruise which is really convenient for us. They also allow us to store our luggages for the whole day while we went for our day tour.

It was a wonderful 3 nights stay in the lovely town of Rovaniemi. The hotel is located in the city center, which makes dining and shopping and getting around anywhere super convenient. The train station is also a short 5 minutes drive away. My room was clean, cosy, spacious and tastefully designed. Love the Finnish sauna; we went everyday! Also the breakfast spread was super lovely; love the crayfish salad. The hotel also uses Iittala and Marimekko tableware in the breakfast buffet as well as in the room. I love the Iittala cup they used in the room so much that I bought 2 for my house! Totally recommend this hotel if you visit Rovaniemi!

If you're staying in Santa Claus Village, this hotel is new and well-equipped. The staff at Nova Skyland Hotel were very friendly and thoughtfully explained travel tips for both Rovaniemi's Santa Claus Village and the city center. When I encountered an issue, I WhatsApped the hotel staff and they promptly arrived at my room to help me resolve the problem! For an off-peak price, I enjoyed the luxurious room amenities, which offered great value for money. The only slight issue was that when I booked, I had indicated I was traveling alone (even though the room could accommodate three people). At the time of booking, I didn't realize it had defaulted to three guests. When it came time for express check-in, the system assumed I had booked for three people and tried to charge me extra for breakfast for an additional person! I hope Trip.com takes note of this, as it prevented me from checking in online beforehand and ultimately required me to explain the situation at the front desk. In fact, on the Trip.com platform, it states that for this type of Aurora Suite, the room rate I paid covers up to three people, including three breakfasts! I hope Trip.com clarifies this with the hotel, confirming whether the room rate indeed includes all taxes and breakfast for three guests, should they be traveling together.

The best!!! The best!!! The front desk staff were kind and even made the effort to contact me if the aurora appeared. The property is very large and they provided a car to take you to your accommodation from the front desk. I was able to refresh myself by taking a walk around the property during the day. It was summer so I didn't see any reindeer, but I could hear them crowing. I would definitely like to come in winter next time to see the reindeer. The room was also very clean and nice. I was also very satisfied with the sauna. The breakfast at the restaurant also had a very Finnish feel to it. The bread was delicious.

Brand new resort, cozy, warm and spacious chalets with beautiful views. Staff were attentive and friendly, special mention to Ilmari and gentleman at the reception who kindly shared their knowledge about Finland and the resort. Some extra touches and few activities could benefit the resort like forest trail, fire to toast marshmallows, extra towels and drinking water in sauna space, but I am sure more is coming soon. Loved the quiet location of being in the taiga forest and yet so close to the city and the airport. Food was delicious, blueberry ‘soup’ is a must try!

Our stay in the glass igloo was amazing! The accommodation was very clean, and it included all the necessary amenities. It even came with a kitchenette. We were fortunate to see the aurora borealis just outside our igloo on the night we arrived, and watching the sunrise from the igloo was simply magical. The meals at the resort were fantastic. I would highly recommend the Fox Arctic Glass Igloo Resorts for a memorable experience.

Huge thanks to Grace for her professionalism and enthusiasm, which made our Arctic Circle trip absolutely perfect and filled with magical memories. From the initial itinerary discussions to the flawless conclusion, every step truly demonstrated the value of a bespoke service. This was by far the most stress-free and fulfilling trip we've ever experienced.
