    Ice Hotel

    Though it is hard to imagine a hotel made of ice, except for fairy tales, however there exists an Ice hotel in this material world. A unique concept embellished with fine piece of art work to offer an extraordinary experiences. The Ice hotel is situated in the village Jukkasjärvi, north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden, lying on the shores of Torne River – a meter thick ice layer on the river in winter is the prime source of all design, art and architecture.

    Amazingly! It requires an estimated 10000 tones of crystal clear ice from the Torne River and 30000 tones of pure snow from Mother Nature to build this terrific hotel, situated in midst of an unspoilt profusion. Build on a 3500 sq. meters area, the Ice Hotel hosts an eternal Ice Chapel, an exhibition hall showcasing ice art, a cinema, excellent conference rooms and most of all, a world famous ‘Absolut Ice Bar’.

    During the summer the suites, the rooms, the reception, the bar, the entire construction, once again turns to be a part of nature, coursing towards the sea. The Ice Hotel is rebuilt every year, and comes with a new design, new suites, as well as a brand new reception – an absolute makeover.
