Many guests arrive at the Luleå Airport after a connection in Stockholm, or by train in Boden, the nearest train station. From there, guests can request a hotel transfer or take a taxi and opt for a scenic drive to Harads, about one hour and 10 minutes from the airport or 35 minutes from the train station. For an extra touch of adventure, the hotel offers a helicopter transport option.

Architectural wonders among the trees in Harads, Sweden

Scandinavia's leading architects designed each Treeroom at Treehotel, and each is a one-of-a-kind creation. The Mirrorcube was designed by Architects Bolle Tham & Martin Videgård of Tham & Videgård, whose work includes the Stockholm Concert Hall, the Denfert Building in Paris and the Double Helix. The Treehotel's modern structures are carefully integrated into the forest, offering both luxury and a deep connection to nature. The Mirrorcube, with its reflective exterior, is a stunning example of blending architecture with the environment. The walls are made of mirrors, and beyond those is a "secret balcony" to view the treetops.

Other Treerooms include the Biosphere, which features a façade covered with birdhouses to support local wildlife. For those looking for a more whimsical stay, the Bird's Nest is designed to look like a giant nest perched among the branches. And for a touch of the extraterrestrial, the UFO is a playful, futuristic structure that appears to have landed in the forest.

The Blue Cone provides a comfortable and inclusive option for those seeking more accessible features, but the beds are accessed with step ladders. A ramp leads guests to and from the restaurant and reception area, and car transport can be arranged to and from the rooms upon request. Additionally, Treehotel collaborates with a partner company that offers accessible outdoor activities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature.
