If your festive criteria includes a hotel that puts you in the heart of city life, you’ve found it with the Sokos Vaakuna. Because it’s in the middle of Rovaniemi near the Kemijoki River, you’ve got all the local attractions at your fingertips and the nearest ski slopes are also an easy hop. Inside, you’re looking at contemporary décor, a really laidback bar scene and a couple of restaurants.

Local info
About Rovaniemi
Lapland’s cosmopolitan capital Rovaniemi is surrounded by picture-perfect landscape, loads of outdoor activities and plenty of culture. The Christmas spirit is everywhere. Kids will love the chance to meet Santa and study at elf school at Santa Park. Then there’s the opportunity to visit a reindeer farm or motor through the wilderness on a snowmobile. And if you want to stay put, the city’s shops, restaurants and bars are on your doorstep. Beyond the city, you can head out to a quiet snowy wilderness for a reindeer or snowmobile safari, or a husky sleigh ride in the Arctic landscape.
Airport Transfer: 15mins
