Panorama Landscape Hotel: Finland’s Wild Beauty, Refined
Where wilderness meets design in perfect harmony.
A Hidden Gem in Eastern Finland
Tucked deep within the pristine forests of Eastern Finland, Panorama Landscape Hotel offers a retreat that’s equal parts luxury hideaway and nature sanctuary. With just ten intimate cabins, a world-class restaurant, and a spa inspired by ancient bathing rituals, it’s a place where stillness reigns and every detail feels deeply considered. The hotel’s philosophy is simple yet profound: design should blend with nature, not compete with it. And here, that idea comes vividly to life. Each cabin sits quietly among pine and birch, their shingled walls and green roofs disappearing into the forest canopy. From the inside, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows frame endless views over Lake Syväri, turning every sunrise into an event and every snowfall into theater.
The Lähde Forest Spa: A Modern Ritual of Renewal
If the cabins offer quiet contemplation, the Lähde Forest Spa delivers pure sensory awakening. Designed around the rhythm of nature, it features three saunas and five hot and cold pools, all fed by a natural spring that sparkles in the Nordic light. The spa experience draws inspiration from Japanese onsen, Russian banya, and Finland’s own timeless sauna traditions, creating a ritual of contrast and connection—heat and chill, fire and water, silence and sound. Here, wellness is elemental. Step from the dry warmth of the sauna into a crisp plunge pool, feel the forest air against your skin, then float under open skies. It’s an experience that’s both invigorating and meditative—luxury stripped to its purest form.
Cabins That Breathe With the Landscape
Each of the hotel’s ten cabins is designed for two, balancing comfort and simplicity in equal measure. Inside, natural materials—wood, wool, stone—set the tone, while soft lighting and minimalist design ensure that the true star remains the view outside. It’s easy to forget the boundary between interior and wilderness; from the comfort of your bed, you might spot the lake’s reflection glimmering through the trees—or, if you’re lucky, the distant silhouette of a bear or lynx moving quietly through the forest.
Flavors of the Forest
Culinary artistry takes center stage at the hotel’s signature restaurant, helmed by acclaimed Finnish chef Kim Mustonen. His menu celebrates the flavors of the region—wild herbs, lake fish, foraged mushrooms, local game—each dish crafted with precision and a sense of place. Meals unfold slowly, like conversations with nature itself, paired with wines and Finnish craft spirits that complement the landscape’s quiet poetry.
Crafted with Care, Rooted in Vision
The Panorama Landscape Hotel is the creation of Harri Jokela, whose deep reverence for the Finnish wilderness informs every aspect of the design. From the eco-conscious materials to the discreet architecture and immersive wellness philosophy, this is hospitality with heart—a place that honors both nature’s power and its fragility.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Panorama Landscape Hotel is a masterpiece of mindful luxury, where architecture, gastronomy, and wellness converge in serene dialogue with the Finnish wild. For travelers seeking silence that speaks, design that disappears, and indulgence that feels essential rather than excessive, this secluded haven delivers a transformative connection to nature—one breathtaking view at a time.
