Treehotel, Harads: Unique Architecture and Total Immersion in Swedish Arctic Nature
The Treehotel is not a simple hotel, but a collection of highly individual suites, each an architectural masterpiece suspended among the trees of the Swedish taiga in Harads, just outside the Arctic Circle. It offers an unparalleled staying experience, combining avant-garde design with a total immersion in the nature and silence of the North.
Iconic Design: Bird's Nest, Mirrorcube, and Cabin
Each 'room' is a unique work of art created by renowned architects. From the perfect camouflage of the Mirrorcube, a mirrored glass box that disappears into the sky, to the giant bird's nest of the Bird's Nest, and the futuristic UFO spaceship, the accommodations offer completely new perspectives on the surrounding environment and are reached via ramps or bridges.
Arctic Experiences: Northern Lights and Midnight Sun
Treehotel is an excellent base for experiencing the natural wonders of Swedish Lapland. In winter, guests can witness the spectacular Northern Lights directly from their rooms. In summer, the Midnight Sun experience provides almost eternal light. Activities range from trekking, kayaking on the Lule River, to snowmobile excursions.
Sustainability and Traditional Northern Cuisine
The concept of sustainability is central to Treehotel. The constructions are built with minimal environmental impact, and the rooms feature ecological solutions. The cuisine celebrates the flavors of Norrbotten, with dishes prepared using local and wild ingredients, served in Britta's Pensionat, offering an authentic taste of the Great North's gastronomy.
The Luxury of Seclusion in the Taiga's Silence
Staying at Treehotel means embracing a luxury defined by seclusion and the deep silence of the forest. It is a peaceful retreat where the only noise is the wind through the trees. Its uniqueness makes it an unmissable destination for lovers of architecture, wild nature, and those seeking an unrepeatable luxury adventure.

The Mirrorcube is an exciting hide-out among the trees, camouflaged by mirrored walls that reflect their surroundings. The dimensions are 4x4x4 metres. The base consists of an aluminum frame around the tree trunk and the walls are covered with reflective glass.
The interior is made from plywood with a birch surface. The six windows provide a stunning panoramic view. The Mirrorcube offers excellent accommodation for two people with a double bed, bathroom, lounge, and rooftop terrace. A 12-meter-long bridge leads up to the treeroom.
Britta’s Pensionat is open for Treehotel’s guests, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in an authentic 1930-1950’s setting. There’s a restaurant, bar, sauna and relaxation area, TV, and internet. When you arrive at Treehotel, you first check at Britta’s pensionat; then it’s a short stroll through the breathtaking nature to your treeroom.
The Bird’s nest is built on the contrasts between the outside and inside. The treeroom’s exterior is nothing but a gigantic bird’s nest. It gives a camouflage so you quickly disappear and become part of the surroundings.
The interior, on the other hand, is familiar and exclusive. It’s a spacious environment where a family with two children can comfortably spread out. The walls are clad with wood panels and the windows almost disappear in the exterior’s network of branches. The room is 17m² and has separate bedrooms, bathroom, and living area. You enter the Bird’s Nest with the help of a retractable staircase.

While working on the Bird’s Nest, which is largely in harmony with its surroundings, the idea of creating an entirely different environment was born. And what could be more different than an UFO?
The room is cast in durable composite material – all to create the lightest, yet strong and sustainable design possible. The interior gives the room a modern and comfortable feel. The UFO is built for five people, two adults in a double bed and three children, with separate beds, bathroom and living area. 30m² is all you need for a comfortable escape to childhood dreams.

This treeroom’s location was based on the idea of creating a platform high up on a sharp hillside overlooking the Lule River valley. You can reach the hut from here via a horizontal bridge among the trees. At the front of the bridge is a large wooden deck.
The bridge is a long and interesting structure among the trees. The Cabin hangs slightly off-set, under the deck, partly to visually reduce the size and partly to give the tree room its own custom look.
The Cabin is like a capsule, a foreign body in the trees. The room is 24m² and accommodates two people, with a double bed, bathroom and terrace.

The Blue Cone is based on simplicity and accessibility, both in terms of material and design. The room is a traditional wooden structure with three foundations in the ground to give a sense of height and lightness, but also stability.
You access the room via a bridge from the nearby mountain. The bridge is well suited for people with disabilities. The exterior consists of laminated birch wood, the interior of timber. The treeroom is 22m² and has four beds, separate sleeping loft, bathroom and living room.

With its 52 square metres and 22 metric tonnes, the Dragonfly is without a doubt our biggest room. Unique in many ways, this room can function both as a conference space as well as private living quarters.
A 15-meter long ramp takes you up to the Dragonfly, where big panoramic windows give you a magnificent view of the valley. It is built out of wood, with an exterior made out of sheet metal that will eventually turn rust-brown and blend in even further with the pine-tree forest. The design and the spectacular interiors are the makings of Rintala Eggertsson Architects.
The conference space has one lounge, two group rooms and a conference table with seating for 12. The room has all types of modern conference equipment, Wi-Fi, toilet and air conditioning. If you want to check out the Dragonfly as a private experience, there is room for four people. The room is spacious enough to suit two couples or the entire family.
