3* ICEHOTEL

Björkliden, Sweden

ICEHOTEL Exterior
The ICEHOTEL is a property with a difference - every year it’s built from scratch making it truly unique each time

The crystal clear ice is taken from the waters of the local river Torne. It’s used to create the hotel and also exported all over the world to the famous ICEBAR® in London, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Istanbul. The hotel has its range of rooms available for viewing during the day. The Art Suites and Deluxe room are works of art in their own right. Each is expertly sculpted following an individual theme that has been painstakingly designed and created. These are available for over night stays along with the simpler snow and ice rooms. With an ICEBAR® and chapel there’s a room for every occasion.

The Icehotel 365 offers a year-round ice experience - the permanent building has a refrigerated interior which allows 20 suites, the ICEBAR® and an ice art gallery to withstand the warmer temperatures of spring and summer. Strangely enough it feels colder than the temporary ICEHOTEL itself - the insulating effects of snow are counteracted by the temperature control! There are two room types in the Icehotel 365 - Deluxe Suites and Art Suites - and the Deluxe Suites have ensuite (heated) bathrooms with saunas.

"You have to see this place to believe it. I was captivated by the beauty and craftsmanship - simply astounding!"

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about ICEHOTEL.

Ice Hotel sculpture, Åre, Bjorkliden, Sweden - Steven Jones - March 2023
Stunning location and experience staying in an ice room. If you can stretch to a deluxe ice room it is worth saving up for.
Steve & Sally Jones

Stayed at the Icehotel - fantastic experience for children (and adults too!) - very well organised - initially bewildering as to how it works, but the local team was always very helpful. Ice room was fun (and cold!) The chalet was welcoming and well equipped to dry out clothes. Nice to have kettle, hot drinks and wet room.

Outstanding, a real experience and plenty to do - recommend the skidoo, dog sled and reindeer camp fire trips. Ice room stay a once in a lifetime experience - one night is all the experience you need.

Absolutely stunning place. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and passionate about the art. Plenty of time to look around the art rooms and chapel. We were offered other excursions but were had plenty to do in our time there. They provided over-suits to keep us warm which were very useful in the evening and night when it was -14 outside. We were able to upgrade at a reduced rate as there were…
