It’s a snowy December afternoon in Santa Claus’ Finnish homeland Rovaniemi. The sales director of Santa’s Hotel, Eveliina Korhonen, enters a cosy wood-panelled room that is the reception of Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle, a glass-roofed igloo hotel nestled a stone’s throw away from Santa Claus Village, which lies right on the Arctic Circle.
Korhonen is bringing Singaporean travellers on a virtual tour of the hotel in Lapland, giving them a glimpse into the interiors of a glass igloo, ideal for spotting northern lights. The hotel houses 71 climate-controlled, glass-roofed igloos tucked in the snow, each kitted out with modern-day amenities. Korhonen demonstrates how guests can set the aurora alarm on their in-room tablets to alert them when the northern lights appear, so they do not miss out.
