The Treehotel is located in Harads, a small town in Sweden. As one can expect from its name, this hotel is formed by several tree houses, although all of these come with a twist.
About the hotel.
Before arrival guests will have to check in at the nearby guest house, Brittas Guesthouse, in Britta. This is the place where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, and guests will be able to enjoy the sauna and the spa. Britta’s restaurant is known for its local traditional food, typical of Northern Sweden. The Treehotel is located five minutes away.
The Treehouses.
The Treehotel is formed by six tree houses, and each tree house has at least one double room with a bathroom. Each tree house has its own theme and an individual décor.
The rooms are located between four and six metres above ground. Each cabin has between 15 and 30 square metres of space. In order to get to their rooms, guests will have to go up either a ramp, a staircase or a metal stair. Price is about 190€ per night for one person and can reach 488€ per night for a double room with extra beds.
Some rooms have two twin beds, while the larger tree houses, those considered as family tree houses, have three or four beds. Each cabin has a small living room. The bathrooms are ecological. The tree houses have large windows that allow in a lot of natural light.
The Bird’s Nest tree house is a contrast between its exterior and its interior design. The exterior resembles a giant bird’s nest. The tree house has circular windows between the branches. The inside of the tree house is modern and spacious, with a double bed and two twin beds with amenities.
To get to the Blue Cone room guests will have to go up a hill and climb an especially designed slope. This tree house has a more traditional design and is made of wood, with windows styled as plastic domes. This tree house has two floors and can accommodate up to four people.
The Cabin is one of the highest cabins, with views towards the valley of the river Lule. This cabin, with curved edges, looks like a capsule and has a double bed and a terrace.
The Mirrorcube cabin is a large aluminium carcass covered by mirrors. The effect is not what one might expect, since the cabin reflects the trees around it, masking it. The mirrors are covered by an infra-red layer in order to stop animals and birds bumping into it. The large windows have views towards the valley. The inside of the cube has a double bed, a separate bathroom, a living room and a small terrace on the roof.
The cabin known as the UFO is a large flying saucer that seems to have just crashed from outer space and into the trees below. The entrance has a circular door and the interior is modern. This tree house has two floors and can accommodate up to four people.
The A Room With A View cabin has some of the best views towards the forest and towards the town of Harads. This cabin has a large bedroom, a bathroom and a dining and living room elevated at different levels. There is a terrace decorated with several pine trees on the rooftop. The interior of the tree house is covered by wooden panels which create a natural look.
The hotel is open all year round. Each cabin has heated floors, and the heating is turned on during the winter months. The energy used at the hotel comes from alternative ecological resources.
Extras.
The hotel has its own sauna with a maximum capacity for twelve people. The saunas are typical in this region, and guests will be able to enjoy this traditional activity while they relax in the heat of the sauna and the coolness of the water. Visiting a sauna is a must after a long day skiing.
Activities.
Guests will be able to enjoy a wide range of activities during the summer and winter months. During the summer months guests will be able to kayak, explore the region by bicycle, trek along the trails and participate in organized nature walks.
