The classic ICEHOTEL is built every year from scratch featuring new artists and new room designs which melt back to the Torne river every year. ICEHOTEL 365 is a permanent structure which allows guests to stay in cold art rooms all year, the rooms are redesigned and rebuilt on rotation every 6 months.
Every year, when Torne River turns to ice, a new Icehotel is created in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in the north of Sweden. The ice of the river transforms to design and architecture - an ephemeral art project and the world's first, and largest hotel built of snow and ice.
The ice structure stops heat being transferred to the surroundings, because the ice and the windless air are both excellent insulators. The buildings depend on sub-freezing temperatures and usually melt in summer, rebuilt again from fresh ice every year.
Every year ICEHOTEL is visited by 70 000 guests from all over the world. The permanent part of the hotel, ICEHOTEL 365, offers 9 Deluxe Suites and 11 Art Suites made from ice and snow year-round.
They're not intended to be permanent.Most ice hotels are only open for a few months — December-January through March-April, depending on their location.
Ice hotels are only available at certain months in the year, which might not be convenient for those with a hectic schedule. The interiors of the hotels are also rather chilly, so you definitely need to enjoy cold temperatures and not be looking to cosy up or go sunbathing!
The Environmental CycleEvery year, we borrow ice from the river to build a new, seasonal hotel of ice and snow, which eventually melts and returns back to its origin come spring.
INSIDE THE WORLD'S FIRST AND MOST FAMOUS ICEHOTELBut the real experience lies in staying a night here. Accommodation in the seasonal winter hotel ranges from standard ice rooms to more elegant art suites. Ice rooms are furnished with decor and beds made of ice.
To stay in some of the nicer ice hotels in Norway, you can expect to pay anywhere from 2,200-3,000 NOK per night. This might be a little pricey for some travelers, and instead only look at the inside of an ice hotel rather than actually booking a room.
It is an experience for life to spend a night in a cold room here! I would recommend it to all my friends. The tour of the hotel to watch all the beautiful ice sculptures is great. Be prepared that you will keep your clothes in a locker while you accomodate the cold room.
