Welcome to Hotel Haawe in Rovaniemi!

In case you want your accommodation with privacy, memorable details and perfected design in the best location of the city, you have found the right place.

Housed in a functionalist building dating back to 1933, right in the centre of Rovaniemi, Haawe Boutique Apart Hotel features 14 rooms, each with its own backstory. The décor of the rooms is inspired by the changing seasons, nature and natural phenomena of Lapland.

Haawe features 12 rooms and two suites, each with a distinct atmosphere. Would you prefer being surrounded by wood, dark colours and a warm atmosphere, or do you rather enjoy light-coloured surfaces and simple minimalism? Or do you require accommodation with luxurious facilities and privacy?

Our story told by photographs

The new Rovaniemi co-operative shop opens its doors

Lapin Kansa newspaper 28 September 1933:
“Our representative had the opportunity to explore the shelters of the new house yesterday, guided by the managing director of the business, and as a result of this exploration, we may conclude that the Osuuskauppa co-operative organisation has now obtained the most modern and stylish business premises in the township.” … “you would look in vain for such a sensual, practical and clean apartment from other communities, even the ones that are larger than our township.”
