About the Hotel
Santa's Hotel Rudolf sits on Koskikatu in the heart of Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus on the Arctic Circle at latitude 66°33'N. Named after one of Santa's reindeer, the hotel places guests within easy reach of the Kemijoki river, Ounasvaara hill, and the Arktikum science museum, while Santa Claus Village lies just 8 km to the north.
The hotel is a welcoming base for the full range of Lapland experiences: husky and reindeer safaris depart from nearby operators, and the aurora season runs from September through March over the vast subarctic sky. The midnight sun illuminates Rovaniemi continuously from late May through mid-July. The restaurant on-site serves hearty Finnish cuisine, and the hotel is family-friendly with children welcome to stay free. Kauppatori market square and the city's main shops and services are all within a short walk.
