Sleeping in Ice: Explore the World's First Ice Hotel in Swedish Lapland

The ICEHOTEL, founded in 1989, is a remarkable destination located in the small village of Jukkasávvi in Swedish Lapland. This unique hotel is constructed each year using crystal-clear ice from the frozen Torne River, and its design is completely transformed, making every visit a truly memorable experience.

In the winter, visitors can witness the stunning Northern Lights, while the summer offers the enigmatic Midnight Sun. Beyond the hotel itself, guests can immerse themselves in the Arctic wilderness, with activities like trekking through untouched snow, dog sledding, and even rafting on the icy waters of the Torne River.

The culinary experience at ICEHOTEL is also a highlight, with expertly prepared dishes using regional products and coffee brewed over an open flame. The Veranda, the hotel's chef's table, offers a tasting menu cooked in front of the guests, celebrating the flavors of the Arctic.

Looking ahead, the launch of ICEHOTEL 36 in December 2025 will be a grand opening experience. A select few will have the opportunity to be among the first to witness the new creation, with a private guided tour led by the CEO and Creative Director. These guests will be transported to the hotel by a team of eager dogsleds, gliding through the magical Arctic wilderness.
