That extraordinary spectacle of the northern sky, the Northern Lights, is never far away in this location, and features strongly in our hotel's accommodation and layout: every bedroom has special windows for viewing the colourful light display. Even the ambience of the restaurant is enlivened by panoramic windows facing north.
