The Treehotel

|
The spectacular Treehotel is a must-see location for visitors to Swedish Lapland and in our opinion, it is one of the most unforgettable places to stay in Europe.
The concept rooms here have all been created by some of Swedens top architects and represent the bringing to life of some remarkable ideas. From a carefully camouflaged mirror cube to an out of this world UFO these rooms are guaranteed to make a lasting impression.
Each room is effectively a sophisticated tree house, either suspended in the treetops or built on platforms that set the room amongst the bows of the trees.
The scenery which surrounds these rooms is idyllic and, as they are situated within the Aurora Zone, your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights from your treetop retreat are excellent if the conditions are favourable.
The rooms
The eight rooms at the Treehotel are all the unique creation of some of Scandinavias leading architects and each offers a high standard of accommodation in addition to cutting-edge design.
Each room has been crafted directly in the treetops and can be accessed only by ladder, ramp or bridge please speak to us if you have any specific accessibility issues and we will advise on the most suitable rooms.
The Birds Nest is a remarkable sight to see and in reflection of its name resembles a huge nest, clad in a vast amount of branches. Entry is gained via a retractable rope ladder so once inside you really feel like you are hidden from the world.
The UFO is an alien spaceship suspended amongst the trees but the fun and quirky design is sure to appeal to your inner child. Accessed via a retractable ladder (complete with smoke effect) this is a very surreal place to stay.
The Cabin is a modern capsule in the trees, offering spacious windows that allow you to see across the valley from the comfort of your bed. The Cabin is reached via a bridge walkway and also has its own wooden terrace amongst the trees.
The Mirror Cube is camouflaged amongst the trees due to its reflective glass exterior which perfectly reflects the surroundings, allowing you to easily hide away. This room is a stunning sight to see.
Despite its name, The Blue Cone is actually bright red in appearance and is based on simplicity, but also accessibility so is set lower amongst the trees. It, therefore, offers a very light room and a sense of stability.
The Dragon Fly, is effectively a suite of rooms so is suited to small groups. This room offers wonderful panoramic views of the scenery and the carefully crafted design will mean that as time goes by it blends in with its surroundings.
The 7th Room is the largest and tallest treehouse which was opened in January 2017 and offers guests a traditional Scandinavian log cabin experience 10 metres up in the trees. The most spectacular asset to this room is the outside space, where a strong net provides terrace space for you to climb out on.
The Biosphere is the newest room and the exterior is finished in natural materials with the addition of 350 bird boxes of all sizes to cater to a wide variety of native species! Its aim is to highlight the reduction in numbers of birds throughout Swedens forests and also provide a home for birds. The room is accessed via a ramped walkway from the ground.

The Bird's Nest
One of the most well-known rooms here, the Bird’s Nest is camouflaged within the forest. The Bird’s Nest has two separate sleeping areas one double room and then bunk beds, which means that it is suitable for friends or couples. It has a very light interior, with small circular windows. From the outside, the windows are nearly invisible. The nest is accessed by a narrow retractable staircase, therefore, you need to have some confidence with heights to stay here and a level of agility. We recommend taking only the essentials to your rooms and leaving the rest stored securely at Britta’s Pension.
The UFO
One of the most spectacular creations at The Treehotel and considered to be a ‘big kid’s dream’. To stumble across such a modern spacecraft in the forests of Lapland is surreal. Imagine turning the key to release the access ladder and the ladder descends to a puff of smoke. You would genuinely expect a form of alien life to appear.
Despite being modern in décor, the UFO is very comfortable. It has the capacity to sleep up to five people with a double bed and three singles. There is a living area and your very own computer game to complete the childhood dream.
Access to the UFO is by a retractable and narrow metal ladder, therefore, we recommend this for those who are comfortable with heights and agile. We also suggest taking only the essentials to the room and storing the rest of your luggage at Britta’s Pension.
The Mirrorcube
As the room name suggests, the entirely mirror clad exterior means that the room disappears in a camouflage created by the reflection of the landscape in the walls. The cube has been clad in an infra-red film, in order to prevent birds from flying into it. It is a four-metre cube with a birch-clad interior. There are six windows which create an incredible amount of light. Couples can enjoy relaxing in the double bed. The lounge area of the rooftop terrace can be accessed by a ladder. Accessed by a 12-metre long bridge walkway this is one of the most easily accessible rooms.
The Blue Cone
Yes, this is the bright red building. This traditional wooden structure is constructed of laminated birch wood. It has a minimalist interior with reindeer skins accenting the timber clad walls. The views from this room are magnificent and can be enjoyed from the seating area. There is a double room and then a loft sleeping area (which is accessible by ladder) with two single beds. This is one of the most accessible rooms as there is a bridge providing access. It is ideal for those who want to experience staying in a tree room without being too far off the ground.
The Cabin
The interior is a real favourite with guests. It offers a romantic tree top retreat for couples and stunning views across the Luleå River Valley. It is one of the larger rooms at 24 metres square. There is a large double bed, a tree top terrace, which is ideal for soaking up the views. The interior is simple and light. The Cabin is easily accessed via a horizontal bridge. The cabin has a real elegance and the small terrace area is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the panoramic views of the valley below.
The Dragon Fly
The Dragon Fly is not only the largest room but also the newest addition. It can form a unique meeting venue or an excellent suite for those with a larger party to accommodate.

You can sit at the large seating area and absorb the breathtaking views of the valley. The Dragon Fly is equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
