What it's like here
Suspended among the pine trees of northern Sweden, Treehotel offers a stay unlike any other—a collection of seven uniquely designed rooms floating in the forest canopy near Harads. Rather than a conventional building, each structure is its own architectural statement: a mirrored cube that seems to dissolve into the surrounding woodland, a UFO hovering among slender trunks, a bird's nest cradled in the branches. Founded in 2010, the hotel has become one of Sweden's most internationally recognized hospitality projects, drawing visitors who want to experience the forest from an entirely new vantage point.
Staying here means trading the ordinary for the extraordinary. You arrive in the Norrland forest, surrounded by the quiet of nature, and ascend into your private refuge among the trees. The silence wraps around you—just the sound of wind in the branches, the fresh northern air, and the sense of being cradled in the wilderness. Whether you're watching the forest awaken at dawn, observing the light shift through the afternoon, or gazing into the evening darkness, each moment feels suspended between earth and sky. The rooms work for solo travellers seeking solitude, couples wanting an adventure together, families ready to try something different, or groups of friends chasing a memorable experience.
The hotel provides the essentials for comfort: a café for meals, Wi-Fi to stay connected (or ignore it), and parking at the base. The location near the Lule River adds another dimension to the landscape. Photography is encouraged, so you can capture the strange beauty of your treehouse room and the forest that holds it. Whether you visit during the midnight sun of summer or the darker months when the Northern Lights might appear, the forest and its architecture create a photogenic, deeply unusual setting that shifts with the season and time of day.
