Icehotel

The original hotel built from ice — rebuilt from the Torne River every winter.

Since 1989, artists from around the world have carved the Icehotel out of river ice each winter, making every year's hotel a one-off. Sleep on a bed of ice under reindeer hides in an art suite that will melt back into the river come spring.

  2. 02A year-round ice wing (Icehotel 365) runs on solar power
