Arctic TreeHouse Hotel has a deep respect for the nature and cultural heritage, two fundamental principles of sustainability to be applied in all operations and activities. Infact, in June 2019, the hotel was awarded the Green Key eco-label as the first private hotel in Finnish Lapland. This prestigious label is granted to companies that fulfil the comprehensive environmental criteria that cover matters such as energy efficiency, recycling and the raising of environmental awareness. At the Arctic TreeHouse Hotel, all buildings are made from Finnish wood, which is a traditional, sustainable and renewable material. In order to avoid unnecessary logging, the accommodation units were ready-built elsewhere, their green roofs help manage the urban runoff and bring the building’s footprint’s worth of vegetation back to the construction site. Each year, Arctic Treehouse Hotel plants 5 000 – 10 000 new seedlings to the surrounding forests. The hotel utilizes geothermal energy, and it was a pioneering hotel in Finland at the utilization of solar thermal energy. Tirelessly focused on improving water saving solutions, reducing waste production, and enhancing ecological awareness with shareholders and partners, Arctic Treehouse Hotel shares these values with a carefully selected network of subcontractors to reach the main goal to have 65% of their main ingredients locally produced.
Located in the Arctic Circle, in the city of Rovaniemi, at 800 km north from the Finnish capital, the Arctic Tree House Hotel offers a unique blend of luxury amenities in the heart of Arctic nature. Its structure, inspired by the Lappish style and modern Scandinavian design, is mainly influenced by the fragile nature of the Arctic that surrounds it. Sustainability plays a central role in the Arctic Treehouse Hotel. All buildings are made with Finnish timber, which is an organic material, and gives the hotel a style in line with the natural landscape that surrounds it. In addition, the interior wooden surfaces of the suites create a comfortable environment, provide pleasing acoustic qualities and maintain healthy indoor air. Its different types of accommodation (Suites, Glasshouses and Executive Suites), scattered on a hillside, have been meticulously designed to allow the guest to fully immerse in the Nordic forest, while ensuring total comfort. The midnight sun and the northern lights can be admired from your own bed thanks to the panoramic window that occupies the northern-facing wall of the bedroom. This sensational experience is also given by the special lighting system designed to minimize artificial light pollution, while still providing sufficient light needed to move safely in the woods of the hotel. The hotel gives a charming atmosphere all year round, but during the Christmas season it can gift a unique experience. Thanks to its Christmas Special Packages and New Year’s Special, the hotel allows you to celebrate the most joyful time of the year according to Finnish traditions. The hotel’s exceptional restaurant, the Rakas Restaurant & Bar, delights guests with its unique atmosphere and creative cuisine made with local ingredients.
