About This Place
Academy Hotel is a charming boutique hotel in the heart of Kemijärvi, a small Lapland town 80 km north of Rovaniemi. The hotel has been freshly renovated with a modern Nordic design that respects the building's history.
Each room features comfortable beds, blackout curtains (essential during the midnight sun), a private bathroom, and free WiFi. The in-house restaurant serves local Lapland cuisine with seasonal ingredients, and the bar is a cozy spot for an evening drink.
The hotel sauna is available to all guests and offers a traditional Finnish experience. In winter, step outside after your sauna to cool down in the crisp Arctic air.
Kemijärvi is the gateway to some of Lapland's best wilderness areas. Pyhä-Luosto National Park and the Suomu fell area are within easy reach, offering skiing, hiking, and snowmobile trails away from the tourist crowds.

A hidden gem! The restaurant was outstanding, best reindeer stew we had in Lapland. The hotel has real character.
