About Us
The location of Star Arctic Hotel on the top of Kaunispää guarantees an unforgettable experience for both our team members and our guests. The surrounding landscape and nature change daily throughout the season – from the beautiful colors of the polar night during the darkest time of winter to the spring sunshine making the snowy fells glow. Our hotel is family-owned, and this can also be felt in everyday life. A strong sense of community is one of the main reasons our employees say they enjoy working at Star Arctic Hotel.
We welcome our guests with warmth and professionalism. We all share one common goal in our work: to create meaningful and unforgettable experiences for our guests. Even in the middle of busy days, we take the time to listen to our guests and pay attention to their individual needs.
Our hotel includes a total of 69 rooms across four different room categories. In summer 2025, we expanded our offering by building 12 new rooms, a Safari House, and a completely new sauna and jacuzzi area.
Our own activity program creates unforgettable experiences for our guests, ranging from snowshoeing trips and snowmobile safaris to Northern Lights hunting adventures. Just a short drive from the hotel is our Wilderness Center, the heart of our winter activities. Here, guests can enjoy unique experiences with our huskies and reindeer, try relaxing ice fishing at our private pond, and visit our second restaurant, where open fire and northern stories create a truly special atmosphere.
At Restaurant Kaunis, located within the hotel and offering 138 seats, we serve an à la carte menu built on high-quality local ingredients. Whitefish caught from Lake Inari by our owner, international influences, and a modern Nordic touch all come together in our cuisine. This is where our guests start their day with breakfast, continue with lunch, and finish with dinner, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding nature.
