#Switchup review treehouse windows
They rise out of the snow on their legs like sixties prefabs, except the coolest prefabs you’ve ever laid eyes on.Īnd it’s those huge windows that make this the hotel to stay at basically the whole end of the long room is glass, meaning that your entire view is of snowy forest. The Arctic Treehouse Hotel is formed of a main hub – in which there’s a reception and excellent restaurant, as well as a shop selling furry snow gear that’s straight out of Frozen – and then, across the forested grounds, pairs of stilted treehouse suites with wooden cladding and enormous windows. Purely for its simple – yet genius – design. I am by no means a Rovaniemi expert from my 48 hours there, but an evening pottering on Google tells me that this is one of the best (if not the best) hotel there. I’ve gone off piste – quite literally! – because I was just going to keep this review short and sweet and give anyone, if they were thinking of booking a Lapland trip, a few pointers. For a start, getting them into the snow gear would take about a week, then they’d need a wee, the whole thing would be a nightmare. From outside the high, inpenetrable walls I could just about see turrets inside, though they were a bit like the guard towers that prison snipers sit atop, waiting to shoot at escaped convicts, so who knows what goes on in there.Īnyway, after a couple of wonderful days in the (very powdery) Rovaniemi snow, I did decide that my own children were probably too young for Lapland and an Arctic Santa visit. Seeing Santa wasn’t on the agenda, but we did drive past Santa Claus Village and thankfully it seemed to be more Disney than IKEA.
I still can’t answer that actually, because I didn’t end up going to Lapland en famille instead I was there on a press trip with the beauty brand Lumene. I was toying with the idea about going to Lapland last Christmas but couldn’t quite decide whether it would be magical or dreadful did I want to go there with two small children and queue up to see Santa in temperatures so cold that my nose hairs would freeze? Were the kids too young to appreciate it? Would we get there and find that Santa World (TM) was basically like an IKEA warehouse with elves in, a huge queue of parents drunk on mulled wine snaking their way around the cavernous, echoing space whilst children swung between wildly different moods and nerve-shattering music piped in from speakers in the ceilings? Actually, in terms of room size, not so very different, I suppose, but the Arctic Circle location is wildly exciting and there’s a piece de resistance in the room that really seals the deal when it comes to spectacular views. Fast-track to Enter the Workforce Sooner Than a Traditional Four-Year Degree Program.I thought I’d review this one whilst the crunch of the snow is still fresh in my head it’s the Arctic Treehouse hotel and rather a different affair to the little London rooms I’ve been trying out recently.
