The ICEHOTEL Experience

THE COOLEST HOTEL ON THE PLANET

As the Besam automatic ice doors slide apart to reveal the Hall of Pillars, ICEBAR and a labyrinth of corridors leading to Snow Rooms, Ice Rooms and elegantly sculpted Art Suites, you enter not just a hotel but a unique interior unmatched by imitators anywhere on the planet.

Now celebrating its 23rd year the ICEHOTEL, a one time modest igloo that was the brainchild of today's CEO Yngve Bergqvist for a local Sami heritage project, has today morphed into a hotel proper with the distinction of being built from the uniquely translucent, turquoise ice cut from the adjacent Torne river.

In the hotel’s warm areas you can relax in a Republic of Fritz Hansen egg chair; savour the taste of Absolut vodka infused with lingonberry juice, dine in the ICEHOTEL or Homestead restaurants both of which use local ingredients such as arctic raspberries, white fish roe and venison occasionally even served on ice plates. All of our arrangements to the ICEHOTEL combine a night (generally the first because you just won’t want to wait) in what we refer to as a “cool” room followed by one or more in a “warm” one. Both come in three versions with substantial differences between cool rooms which we will be happy to talk through with you.
