Perched atop the Kaunispaa mountain, the hotel is exactly what you'd expect from a stylish Scandanavian hotel - and honestly, the design might rival the beauty of the aurora itself. The Lapland region of Finland is one of the best places in the world to catch a glimpse of the northern lights, and in the village of Saariselka, the Star Arctic Hotel might be the best place to stay. Whether you want to root the experience in stylish Reykjavik or sleep directly under the lights in a glass igloo in Finland, here are the best hotels to see the northern lights. No matter how you see them, chances are you'll need a place to sleep before, during or after the hunt in one of the best places to see the northern lights. Thankfully, many of my colleagues here at The Points Guy have had their own adventures chasing the northern lights and put together some handy guides on setting expectations for a trip and if it's best to see them by land, air or sea. Sooner rather than later, I'd like to make that trip happen. Probably because I've never been to the Arctic areas where the almost alien-like green, yellow and sometimes red lights are most often spotted. I've been lucky to see the former two of those wonders, but the northern lights have eluded me thus far. Isn't life amazing? Sometimes, for me at least, it's hard to believe we're all just here on this beautiful planet full of wonders like the Grand Canyon, giraffes and the dazzling phenomenon we call the northern lights.
