ICEHOTEL

The classic ICEHOTEL is not just a hotel, it is a unique work of art which sees artists from around the world gathering to create an exclusive and breathtaking exhibition that will melt away leaving only its footprint come springtime.

Transforming from solid ice to a free-flowing river during the space of a few months, this amazing feat of construction takes place annually with the first visitors arriving in early December to witness the final touches taking place of one of the worlds' most extreme building processes. From mid-December through to early April you can witness this mesmerizing creation on daily guided tours or for an experience like no other you may choose to spend a night in sub-zero temperatures on a bed made of ice.

But wait!! This amazing experience is not just confined to the winter months... you can experience the unique concept on 'sleeping on ice' all year round at ICEHOTEL 365. This permanent structure sits alongside the original and allows you to experience both summer and autumn adventures in addition to the classic winter activities on offer. The interior holds the same fantastic architecture and visual design as the winter structure, and during the summer months the entire building is chilled by the sun, by way of solar power. Outside, as the surface snow melts away, the grass covered arched roof will be revealed.

If the thought of sleeping on ice gives you cold feet, then you may choose to stay in one of the warm traditional hotel rooms or chalets and, during the summer months, the Lavvu tents offer another unique stay. Spacious and furnished with a harmonious feel and natural palette the lavvu's are located next to Icehotel 365, where during the day you can experience the art exhibition of ice and snow, before enjoying late summer evenings on your private patio with fireplace, under the rays of the midnight sun.

With two 'warm' restaurants, an Ice Chapel and the iconic ICEBAR, this internationally acclaimed icon provides a complete Arctic experience whether you choose to stay for the night, a few days or simply wish to take a look around.
