Walk through ICEHOTEL’s iconic gates and step into a world of ice and snow. In the Main Hall, Cathedral Grove dazzles with a forest of icy treetops stretching to the ceiling. In the Ceremony Hall ECHO, couples can engage or marry among the ice art, or simply experience stillness and pure beauty. Imagine sleeping in the eye of the storm in the art suite Sweep Me Off My Feet, floating inside a bubble-filled world in Soap Bubbles, or feeling the cosmic power of a black hole in Spaghettification. These are just a few of the experiences coming to life this December.

Creating ICEHOTEL 36

In mid-November, 29 artists from 9 countries will gather in Jukkasjärvi to turn 2,000 tons of Torne River ice into art. Together with the construction team and lighting designers, they will build a 2,800-square-meter hotel entirely from snow and ice. When spring arrives, the seasonal part of ICEHOTEL melts back into the river, while ICEHOTEL 365 remains open year-round with ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL, and 18 art suites crafted from ice and snow.

This coming winter brings several exciting new features, including outdoor installations and brand new art projects in the hotel’s Main Hall. Luca Roccoroni, Creative Director at ICEHOTEL, expresses excitement about guests’ reactions to the new additions.

A Winter Wonderland of Art, Food, and Arctic Experiences

ICEHOTEL is more than a hotel; it’s a full winter experience. Guests can savor local delicacies, enjoy a wilderness dinner by an open fire, or dive into outdoor adventures like dog sledding and snowmobiling. After a day of magic, retreat to an art suite made of ice and snow, or a warm hotel room before ending the night with a signature ice cocktail at ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL.

Northern Lights Magic

Autumn offers the perfect opportunity to view the Northern Lights. Pair the aurora with a stay at ICEHOTEL 365, and let the season’s colors amaze you.
