Treehotel
6 tree rooms
Treehotel was inaugurated in 2010, in the village of Harads, close to the Arctic circle in Norrbotten, Sweden – a hotel experience with contemporary designed tree rooms in the middle of unspoilt nature. Ateljén – ateljé Lyktan’s department for customised luminaires, has developed and produced a number of unique luminaires in cooperation with some of Scandinavia’s leading architects.
The tree rooms are suspended 4-6 metres above the ground – all with a breathtaking view of the Lule River.
