Exceptional 360 Views
Pros:

Star Artic hotel staff and the setting of the hotel is what makes it such a unique place to enjoy the exceptionally beautiful Finnish landscape. Place at the top of a hill you get mesmerising 360 views of the sun setting over the village below. The food and service are of such a high standard, making it such a memorable stay. Jamie in particular went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful stay. I loved it so much I’ve already made plans to visit again in 2027.

Cons:

Nothing
