Haawe Hotel: Themed Rooms Inspired by the Nature of Lapland
In downtown Rovaniemi, 14 themed rooms with Arctic design finishes and Marikmekko furnishings to match every mood.
While many guests travel to the Lapland to stay in glass resorts or transparent igloos to watch the Northern lights, few know how uncomfortable these accommodation options can be in the summer. With up to 24 hours of daylight in the long summer days, the panoramic panes of glass in your treehouse igloo that let you gaze at the Northern lights actually turn your room into a hot, too-bright glasshouse.
If I?ve now made a strong case for ceilings, then here?s another tip: You don?t have to stay in an igloo to get the Lapland experience. Don?t get me wrong, I?d choose an igloo or a cabin in the forest in the winter, but if you?re visiting in the summer, a boutique hotel in Rovaniemi, Finland, might be just your thing. Haawe Boutique Apart Hotel is part apartment-to-call-home and part hotel. The first thing I noticed was that our fridge was stocked with a classic Lappish breakfast: bilberry juice, yogurt, eggs, milk, bread, coffee, and reindeer salami. Instead of a communal hotel breakfast that runs for a certain time every day, this private dining option: where I can get up and cook for myself at whatever time I want, is a welcome change.
The hotel has 14 themed rooms?one has a sauna for the sauna fiends who have come to revel in Finnish sauna culture; one has a modern fireplace; one has a waterfall element in the shower.
