Best 4-Star Hotels in Rovaniemi: Where We Actually Stayed (And What We'd Skip)

We visited 8 different Rovaniemi hotels on three research trips in order to pick the true gems of the Arctic. The Arctic Light Hotel is worth every euro paid for its design. Two other hotels that we tried — well, you can imagine what we think about those.

When bloggers write down all the names of Rovaniemi hotels along with their stock pictures, they don't provide you with advice; they provide you with a directory. Our VacMode team has been spending weeks researching the Arctic region, driving through snowed-up streets in winter time, trying out the blackout curtains during the midnight sun period, and the Wi-Fi connection to upload the aurora pictures.

Most travellers we meet in Rovaniemi are here for one reason — the aurora. If that's you, these are the kind of hotels you'll stay in on our November Northern Lights tour through Finland, Sweden & Norway, which uses Rovaniemi as its Finland base.
