Tradition Hotel Kultahovi

Inari


This cosy Sámi family–run place overlooks the Jäniskoski rapids and has 45 spruce-furnished rooms, some with a great river view. Many have a drying cupboard and riverside balcony or terrace; some also contain a sauna. There's a fantastic riverside sauna too. The hotel's restaurant, Aanaar, serves Lappish specialities.

In summer an underwater camera beams a live feed to your room's TV, while in winter there's an aurora borealis cam.
