STADSHOTELL

97 km from the Arctic Circle, the hotel's imposing brown building dominates the city's main square. The 105 luxurious rooms, decorated in a turn-of-the-century style, are mainly intended for business travelers in Northern Europe. Upstairs, a prestigious reception room evokes some of the salons of Versailles. A nightclub, a bar with a nostalgic atmosphere, a sauna and bubble baths perhaps help to occupy the long winter nights that last here for several months. The restaurant offers some local specialties.
