"Imagine a hotel built from thousands of tons of snow and ice, and re-built every winter" - that is ICEHOTEL in the little village of Jukkasjârvi in northern Lapland, Sweden.
OPEN for the 2010 / 2011 season on 10th December
History
This is the original ICEHOTEL, first created in the early 1990's. It has become the global ambassador for this genre and now licenses ICEBARs around the world too. With 80+ rooms and suites, the property is a huge undertaking to be rebuilt every year, and their expertise inspired other similar properties in North America (Hotel du Glace Quebec) and elsewhere.
