The Ice Hotel

Sustainability is at the core of this unique hotel located in the Arctic Circle, on the bank of Sweden's largest river, Torne. Built entirely from ice from the river, this hotel, spread over 2,100 square metres, is reshaped each year with new artists designing the rooms. When the temperature rises during spring, it melts and returns to the river. The hotel is open 365 days a year, and a visit here is easily combined with activities such as dogsledding and boat trips beneath the midnight sun. Since 2016, the hotel has featured a permanent structure open all year round, cooled by solar panels during the warmer months. With this new addition, Ice hotel has ten luxury suites, 12 art suites designed by selected artists, and an ice bar and a gallery, all run on solar power.
