Modern hotel in the heart of the Sámi cultural capital
Thon Hotel Kautokeino is centrally located in Guovdageaidnu, regarded as the capital of the North Sámi region, where approximately 90 percent of the population has Sámi as their first language. The hotel combines modern comfort with distinct Sámi design elements and serves as an excellent base for experiences on the plateau throughout the year. The hotel features dining with emphasis on local and Sámi ingredients – including a traditional Sámi restaurant (Storgammen) where guests can enjoy authentic Sámi cuisine in a cosy lavvu tent. The location makes it easy to combine accommodation with visits to Juhl's Silver Gallery, the Sámi national theatre Beaivváš, the open-air museum and experiences such as reindeer herding tours, ice fishing and northern lights viewing in winter.
