Ever since the first ice hotel opened in Sweden in 1989, hunkering down on a bed of ice surrounded by frozen furniture, art and décor has been a rite of passage for the winter traveller. The ICEHOTEL was the first, and has maintained its world-beating status more than 30 years later. Its cutting-edge sculptures, thrilling excursions and excellent regional food welcomes anybody with a sense of adventure. Be greeted with warmth in an ice-cold environment and enjoy one of the world's most enthralling experiences.
Each year, the ICEHOTEL pulls out all the stops to piece together a wildly ambitious and impressive hotel from huge blocks harvested from the frozen River Torne, styled by an endlessly creative team of architects and artists. Throughout its history, the ICEHOTEL has established an unparalleled variety of exciting snowbound adventures to keep you enthralled. Unsurprisingly, this iconic hotel is endlessly popular, so you’ll need to book well in advance.
What's more, the ICEHOTEL 365 has extended the season, so that guests can experience it all year round. Located immediately next to site of the classic winter ICEHOTEL alongside the Torne River in Swedish Lapland, this new incarnation of the popular property is kept cool using solar-powered technology alone, making the most of Jukkasjärvi's long stretches of Midnight Sun when it's too warm to stay frozen naturally. The hotel is at once an engineering marvel and a Hans Eek-designed artistic triumph.
