The beautifully decorated Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos opened its doors in 2008 and has since become popular with travellers from all over the world. The resort is located 26 km from Rovaniemi, in the village of Sinettä by Lake Lehtojärvi. Transfer not included.
Stay in a warm glass igloo with a 360 degree glass roof providing you with the best opportunity to sleep under the starry skies and hopefully the mesmerising Northern Lights. The roof of the igloo is made from electrically heated glass, which means the glass will not cool the space, but rather maintain the heat while melting all the snow and ice off the roof to give you an excellent view of the sky. In addition, the igloo has underfloor heating and the twin beds are motorized, making it possible for you to easily adjust the optimal position for sleeping or viewing the arctic sky. The glass igloo fits 1-2 persons, and a third bed can be added as an extra bed.
Please note that if you are travelling with children a Family Glass Igloo will be booked.
A traditional Finnish Sauna is included during your stay; in common use daily for men & women at 19:00 - 21:00 hrs. The Sauna can also be booked for private use at an additional fee during 10:00 - 00:00 hrs.
Northern Lights watch: There is a guide working all night to see the Northern Lights and guests will be notified through an alarm system if the lights are visible. Simply turn on the alarm button inside your igloo.
In the evening you can enjoy Lappish delicacies, either savoured around ice tables at the Ice Restaurant built of snow and ice providing a unique setting for an unforgettable dinner - or at the warm and cosy Kota Restaurant, which is located on the hotel’s lake shore, next to the lakeside sauna. The blazing fire creates a magical ambiance in the small kota shelter.
The Sky bar is located in the same building as Kota Restaurant. On the ground floor you will find a bar serving cocktails with a local twist along with other drinks and small snacks. The Sky bar opens up in the afternoon and closes late in the evening, When it is dark and the sky is clear, head up to the second floor where you may see the northern lights through the glass roof!
At the Ice Bar you don’t order a drink with ice, you order a drink in ice. A frozen icy glass gives the drinks a totally new dimension and the experience is beyond compare.
The reception area also has a cafeteria and a small gift shop. The building made from massive logs is a magnificent sight in itself.
During your stay you can borrow snowshoes, toboggans and kick sledges free of charge. Entrance to Snowman World at Santa Claus Village is also included.
Festive dinner is included for stays on:
December 24: Traditional Finnish Christmas buffet and a Finnish Christmas drink "glögi". Santa Claus will pay a visit during dinner and give presents to each guest.
December 31: New Year's Eve program for the whole evening; fireworks, outdoor disco, drink in an ice glass, different kind of activities and a sparkling glass of wine at midnight. Options for the dinner: 4-course dinner at the Ice Restaurant or buffet in the warm restaurant. Please let us know your preference during the booking process.
