As originally reported by Grind TV, this hotel doesn’t set you up in a standard room, but rather places its guests in a glass igloo. There, you’ll experience panoramic views of the aurora borealis (if you should be so lucky), or simply the star-studded sky (which is still spectacular at such northerly latitudes).
While the hotel initially launched with just four luxury igloos, there are now 24 such structures available to guests. There’s also the Northern Lights House, a lodge-like experience, and a restaurant aptly named the Aurora Sky.
Each of our igloos feature electrically heated non-fogging glass, air conditioning, a small kitchen, shower and toilet, a Wi-Fi connection and motorized beds, which you can adjust to the desired position for watching the northern lights or sleeping.
Two tiers of igloos are currently available — Premium and Superior. If you opt for the former, you’ll receive a “touch of luxury,” as these structures are located in a prime location with an obstructed view of the Lapland valley. Apparently, this kind of igloo is “especially popular with honeymooners.” Superior igloos, on the other hand, are better suited to families, with the added option of an extra bed for children under the age of 12.
Premium Igloos start at $472 a night, while Superior Igloos will cost $390 a night. So if you’re looking for an unconventional getaway, you may need to pay a visit to Levin Iglut in Finland.
