Hotel Metsähirvas is situated around 20 minutes from Rovaniemi (only 30 minutes from the airport) and is just 25km away from the world-famous Santa Claus Village. It sits close to the banks of the Kemijoki River and is surrounded by the Finnish wilderness, an ideal spot for hunting the Northern Lights.
The hotel has a wonderful heritage, as the original main hotel building started life as a Forest Guard School back in 1931 and is one of the only buildings in the area which survived the second world war. The hotel then was built and opened in 2018, but the links to its history are celebrated throughout the interiors.
The hotel only has 23 rooms in total, spread over three floors (please note that there is no lift), making it a peaceful retreat, but within easy reach of some of Lapland’s biggest attractions.
