“In Rovaniemi, this is a striking accommodation choice for those drawn to both luxury and Lapland's natural beauty. The Sámi-inspired glass igloos, each with its own hot spring spa and sauna, promise an intimate encounter with the Arctic landscape. I especially note the thoughtfulness behind the guest services, which elevates special occasions.”
