Visit Icehotel

Visit any day of the year

The original and world famous Ice hotel is open year-round and we offer a hotel and ephemeral art exhibition in a unique natural cycle, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. The story of Icehotel starts in 1989 when it became the world’s first and largest hotel made of ice and snow.

Each year the seasonal part of the hotel is reincarnated in a new guise, carefully designed and handcrafted by around 40 artists from all around the world.

Since 2016 Icehotel has expanded with a permanent structure as a complement to the seasonal hotel which has made it possible for guests to enjoy the splendid art of ice year-round.
