One of the questions our reception hears most often is simple: do you have a room with its own sauna? At the Postmaster Hotel in the centre of Rovaniemi we do. It is called the Deluxe Sauna Suite, and it is the room we suggest to guests who want to end a cold day outdoors the way Finns do, without leaving their own four walls.
The Postmaster Hotel is our family’s hotel at Postikatu 1, next to the railway and bus station. In this post we walk through the suite using only what we publish on the room page, so you know exactly what you are booking.
In short: the Deluxe Sauna Suite is a 35 m² Scandinavian-style suite for 1–3 guests with a private sauna, a bedroom, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a fully equipped kitchen and a soundproofed living area with city views. Breakfast, free parking and Wi-Fi are included, pets are welcome for a pet fee of 30 € per stay, and prices start from 150 €. Your exact rate for your dates is shown when you book.
The Deluxe Sauna Suite at a glance
These are the room details exactly as they appear on the room page:
- Size: 35 m²
- Guests: 1–3
- Beds: 2 beds + extra bed (a sofa bed is also listed among the amenities)
- Facilities: bathroom, WC, kitchenette and sauna
- Pets: allowed, pet fee 30 € per stay
- Included: breakfast, free parking, Wi-Fi
- Price: from 150 €
The suite is listed for up to three guests, and the room description talks about a peaceful stay for two. In practice that means it is designed around a couple or two friends, with an extra bed for a third person when you need it.
A private sauna inside your suite
What sets this suite apart from our other rooms is the sauna. It is part of the suite itself, so nobody else uses it and there is no booking a time slot at a shared spa. You decide when to heat it and how long to stay in.
For many of our guests this is the best moment of the day: back from an evening tour, a few rounds in the heat, a cool shower, a glass of water, and then straight to bed. If you are new to sauna, we have written about the basics in our posts on löyly, the steam of the Finnish sauna and Finnish sauna temperature.
If you have practical questions about the sauna in the suite before you arrive, our reception is happy to answer them.
The living area and the kitchen
The suite has a spacious bedroom and a soundproofed seating area with a sofa, a TV and views over the city. Underfloor heating, extra pillows and blankets, hypoallergenic features and air purifiers are part of the room.
The kitchen is fully equipped. The room page lists:
- Stove and stovetop
- Microwave
- Refrigerator
- Coffee maker and electric kettle
- Pans and pots
- Dishes and cutlery
On a longer stay this makes a real difference: you can cook a simple dinner after a day out, keep drinks cold for after the sauna, or make coffee before an early pick-up.
Bathroom, Wi-Fi and everyday comforts
The modern bathroom has a walk-in shower, a bidet and complimentary toiletries. Towels, shampoo, body soap and a hair dryer are provided, together with bed linen, hot water and cleaning equipment.
Free Wi-Fi is included. For your safety the suite has a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide alarm.

Where the suite is, and how our tours pick you up
The Postmaster Hotel is at Postikatu 1 in the centre of Rovaniemi, next to the railway and bus station, so you can arrive by train or bus and walk to the hotel. Free parking is included if you come by car.
The hotel is also a pick-up point for our activities. On tours such as our Private Wooden Heated Sauna and Ice Swimming, the product page lists the Postmaster Hotel among the pick-up places, and the meeting point itself is Postikatu 1. You can see everything we run on our activities page.
Pairing the suite with a sauna experience outdoors
A sauna in your room is one way to enjoy the tradition. A wood-heated sauna by the water is another, and many guests do both. These are the sauna experiences we run, with the details from each product page:
- Private Wooden Heated Sauna and Ice Swimming — from 398 €, 4 hours. A private wooden sauna with a handmade ice hole for the cold plunge, instructions, towels, winter clothing, a light local snack and drinks, and pick-up within 10 km of the city centre.
- Traditional Finnish Sauna Experience — from 149 €, 4 hours. The summer version: a private wood-heated sauna and a swim in the lake, with light snacks and drinks.
- Private Traditional Finnish Sauna & Jacuzzi use at Aurora Hill Resort — from 159 €, 1 hour 30 minutes, with bathrobes, slippers, towels and soft drinks included.
Our overview of StayLapland sauna experiences explains how they differ.
Book this suite if, or choose another room if
Book the Deluxe Sauna Suite if a private sauna is part of how you want to spend your evenings, and you are travelling as two or three people who like having a kitchen and a living area.
Choose another of our rooms if the sauna is not important to you. The Deluxe Suite is the same size without the sauna, from 133 €. The Superior Twin Suite is 25 m², from 115 €. If you are a family of four or five, the Family Suite sleeps 1–5 guests, from 204 €. Our post on the Postmaster Hotel Deluxe Suite walks through that room in detail.
