You can start with the hotel's own Restaurant Aakenus, which serves home-cooked meals in the evenings, and the Lobby Bar Tunturi for drinks and snacks. Just steps away, Gustav Kitchen & Bar is about 10 meters from the hotel, and Da Zhong Hua is about 90 meters away. A short stroll brings you to Kantis Burger at 330 meters, Picnic at 400 meters, and Comico at 540 meters. For more options, Ravintola Roka -Street Bistro is 780 meters away, and Restaurant Nili and Arctic Restaurant are on Valtakatu, within easy walking distance of the center.
The hotel sits on Koskikatu, a quiet street just a short walk from Rovaniemi's center. You are within easy walking distance of the Arktikum science center and museum, the Culture House Korundi, and Lordi's Square. The Revontuli and Sampo shopping centers are also close by, along with the pedestrian street. The area is a mix of cultural sights, shops, and everyday conveniences, making it easy to explore on foot. For a taste of local life, the nearby restaurants and the hotel's own Restaurant Aakenus and Lobby Bar Tunturi offer dining options right at hand.
From Rovaniemi Airport, about 10 km away, taxis are available at arrivals, or you can take the Santa's Express shuttle or the Airportbus to the city centre and then walk the short distance to the hotel. From Rovaniemi Railway Station, roughly 1 km away, taxis are nearby, and the station is about a 15-minute walk. The hotel is on Koskikatu 47, close to the city centre, so walking from the station is straightforward. Bus line 8 also connects the station to the city centre if you prefer not to walk.
In the evening, you can enjoy dinner and drinks right at the hotel: Restaurant Aakenus serves home-cooked meals, and the Lobby Bar Tunturi offers drinks and snacks. For a cultural evening, Culture House Korundi is a 7-minute walk away, and Arktikum is 6 minutes on foot. Lordi's Square, a 9-minute walk, is a central spot to explore. The Arctic Circle Line is 7.1 km away, so plan a taxi or ride for that. Nearby, Gustav Kitchen & Bar is just 10 meters from the hotel, and Da Zhong Hua is 90 meters away for more dining options.
Hotel Aakenus is a great base for exploring Rovaniemi. You can walk to Tiedekeskus Pilke, Metsähallitus in 5 minutes, Arktikum in 6, Culture House Korundi in 7, and Lordi's Square in 9. The Angry Birds Playground is a 13-minute walk away. For the Arctic Circle Line and Santa Claus Reindeer, both 7.1 km away, you will need a car or transit. The city center is within easy walking distance, and the bus to Santa Claus Village and Santa Park is line number 8.
