Every year, artists from around the world meet in a small village in northern Sweden for a project that is known as “ICEHOTEL”. Covering 5,500 square meters of land and constructed from 2000 tonnes of ice and an additional 30 000 tonnes of “snice” (snow and ice), the hotel is the largest of its kind in the world.

Icehotel is the world’s largest inn made entirely of ice. Each year artists and architects rebuild it from the ice of the local river in the town Jukkasjärvi, Swedish Lapland, 200 km north from the Arctic Circle.

Jukkasjärvi is a locality in Lapland in northern Sweden
The village is a popular tourist accommodation during the winter months and is best known for the Icehotel.
Each year, the Icehotel is rebuilt with ice from the Torne River. It is open mid-December to mid-April. After the hotel closes in April, the ice melts back into the river.
The hotel also includes an Absolut Ice Bar and an Ice Church. The Absolut Ice Bar serves drinks in glasses made from Torne River ice. The Ice Church offers couples the opportunity to take their vows in a memorable setting.
