Lapland Hotels Arena is a modern event hotel in the heart of Tampere, built directly into Nokia Arena where major ice hockey games, concerts and large events take place. The interior concept brings a touch of Lapland to the city: warm tones, natural materials and northern-inspired details throughout rooms and public areas. The property has 273 rooms spread over several floors, many of them featuring a private in-room sauna, and some offering balconies or direct arena views with their own viewing box attached. For guests attending events, the combination of hotel, arena, restaurant and congress centre under one roof makes logistics very straightforward.
On the 12th floor, the Laawu rooftop terrace and sauna complex offers nearly 300 seats, three separate saunas with jacuzzis, a full bar and kitchen and wide views over Tampere’s skyline. The Saivo Kitchen & Bar restaurant and the Lumoamo congress facilities provide space for everyday dining, corporate events and private celebrations. The hotel is just a short walk from Tampere railway station and the University area, and reviews highlight its high rating for comfort, location, atmosphere and the distinctive experience of having a private sauna in many rooms.
