Since its original conception in 1989, the owners of the ICEHOTEL have taken the surrounding snow and ice and morphed it into a fully functioning snow hotel. World famous sculptors transform huge blocks of ice into dramatic art, which then adorns the hotel and its rooms. Facilities include cold and warm accommodation; sauna, an ICEBAR, ice gallery and two restaurants, as well as a whole host of winter activities. Each spring, the structure was left melt back into the waters of the River Torne, however reinforcing its reputation for innovation, November 2016 saw the launch of ICEHOTEL 365, a revolutionary concept allowing guests to experience the unique atmosphere of the ICEHOTEL year round. ICEHOTEL 365 is a permanent structure that houses 22 art and luxury ice suites, whereas the much-loved classic ICEHOTEL will continue to be constructed each December and will accommodate up to 30 ice rooms and winter suites. You can be assured that the ground-breaking, state-of-the-art ice designs and sculptures created by the specially commissioned artists and architects will continue to adorn both buildings and cement its position as the world’s leading ICEHOTEL.
