Treehotel offers a unique hotel experience: treerooms with contemporary design in the middle of unspoiled nature. Here you can forget about the time constraints of everyday life, enjoy the serenity, and rejuvenate in a sophisticated yet familiar environment.
The most striking part of Harads is its magnificent surroundings. From Treehotel’s rooms you get a fantastic view of the Lule River valley, miles of forest and the powerful river.
Treehotel was inspired by the film ”The Tree Lover” by Jonas Selberg Augustsen. It’s a tale of three men from the city who want to go back to their roots by building a tree house together. “The Tree Lover” is a philosophic story about the significance of trees for us human beings.
The Concept
Why not create a hotel that gives people a chance to experience nature amongst the tree-tops, while also providing a uniquely designed housing experience? These questions led to the creation of Treehotel in Harads – a place where nature, ecological values, comfort and modern design are combined for an exciting adventure.Treehotel was inspired by the film ”The Tree Lover” by Jonas Selberg Augustsen.

The idea behind Treehotel is to offer high-standard accommodation in a harmonious place where daily stress melts away. Guests can relax and renew their energy while surrounded by unspoiled nature.
Together with some of Scandinavia’s leading architects, they created uniquely designed “treerooms.” The rooms are suspended 4-6 meters above ground - all with spectacular views of the Lule River.
A very important part of concept is to consider ecological values and make minimal environmental impact. For this reason they devote considerable resources to finding sustainable construction and energy solutions.

A good book, a magical view and stylish accommodation are enough to create the feeling Treehotel is all about.
Environmental consideration
Treehotel is built on the genuine experience of nature, so it’s a given that sustainability and ecological values are two pillars of the hotel operation.
They build treerooms in the natural forest while hardly affecting the surroundings. They choose material and construction techniques that make as little environmental impact as possible. TreeHotel is build on live trees without destroying the tree and they do not chop down any trees or damage nature while building. Mostly they use local construction companies.

They have chosen an eco outdoor wood floor, which doesn´t contain any chemical substances. The wood is heated to over 200 degrees, which triggers their intrinsic resistance to protect against destruction.
The treerooms all have good insulation and are warmed up by underfloor heating. The electricity is supplied locally from green hydroelectric power. And the lighting consists of low-energy LED-systems.
Daily operations have minimal impact on nature as well. The treerooms have no sewage system and when cleaning, TreeHotel always use eco-friendly products.
Each room has a modern, environmentally friendly combustion toilet where everything is incinerated at 600 °C. The toilets are completely odourless and powered by electricity. The Mirrorcube, on the other hand, has a freezing-toilet, also electrically powered and completely odourless. In winter, it also contributes to heating.
Bathrooms have water-efficient sinks with running water sufficient for washing hands, face and brushing teeth. All wastewater is collected in a container that is emptied daily. Showers are located in a separate building.
TreeHotel hopes that you appreciate the sustainability work, even if it does make your accommodation a bit simpler. While they want to have hotel in the middle of nature, they want to do it on nature’s terms.
