In the remote village of Jukkasjärvi, Sweden, an extraordinary hotel rises every winter, sculpted entirely from ice and snow. The Icehotel is a temporary masterpiece, melting away each spring only to be rebuilt again when winter returns.
A Hotel Carved from Nature
The Icehotel is constructed using ice harvested from the Torne River, one of Europe’s last untouched waterways. Every year, artists and designers from around the world craft intricate ice sculptures, furniture, and themed suites, turning the hotel into a breathtaking frozen art gallery.
What to Expect During Your Stay
✔ Ice Rooms & Suites – Guests sleep in specially designed ice beds covered with thermal sleeping bags and reindeer hides to stay warm in temperatures around -5°C (23°F).
✔ Ice Bar – Sip drinks from glasses made of ice at a stunning bar where everything—walls, counters, and even seating—is sculpted from frozen water.
✔ Northern Lights – The Arctic location provides a perfect setting for spotting the magical Aurora Borealis in the night sky.
✔ Ice Sculpting Workshops – Learn how to carve your own mini ice sculpture under expert guidance.
A Year-Round Ice Experience
Although the original Icehotel melts away each year, a permanent section known as Icehotel 365 remains open year-round, using solar-powered refrigeration to preserve its icy interiors even in summer.
A One-of-a-Kind Arctic Adventure
Staying at the Icehotel is more than just a night’s sleep—it’s an artistic, cultural, and Arctic adventure. Whether you visit for its stunning ice architecture, thrilling snow activities, or the chance to witness the Northern Lights, it’s an experience like no other.
