Haparanda Stadshotell

The values and attention to customer service at the Haparanda Stadshotell are aligned with our own. So much so that our first meeting with Susanne Wallin, the property's owner-manager, felt predestined; we have the same vision and same desires - to introduce our guests to the real country and to ensure an enriched holiday experience.

The Haparanda Stadshotell is a project of love, a lifetime in the making. Having started her career at the hotel at the age of 16, Susanne vowed that one day she would own it. Today that dream is a reality and she oversees the design, renovation and day-to-day hospitality alongside her son and her team of friends. It is clear to all that there is a desire by all to exceed guest expectations.

Standing at the heart of Haparanda, the Stadshotell dates from 1900 and its history can be felt within its walls. From housing spies during World War I to welcoming Prince Daniel of Sweden in 2020, this is a property looking to the future and they are in the process of renovating the hotel throughout (Sunvil books the renovated rooms). The rooms have been decorated using regency colours, plush textiles and are adorned with handpicked antique pieces and artefacts. Everything has its place and attention to detail is impeccable.

Haparanda is a tale of two cities entwined as one - Haparanda and Tornio. Divided by the Torne river, the former is Swedish and the latter is Finnish; the former is one hour behind Tornio; two different currencies, two different nations and yet intrinsically linked with no visible man-made borders. A fascinating place which, when combined with the hotel, is guaranteed to provide a fascinating insight into life in the Arctic.
