The ice hotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden undergoes a stunning transformation each winter and melts away with the arrival of spring.
The renowned ice hotel in Sweden only opens its doors to guests during the winter months.
As winter approaches, the world-famous ice hotel officially announces its grand opening. This frozen accommodation's appearance is revamped, shining even brighter than its previous versions.
The Icehotel also holds the title of being the longest-running ice hotel globally. This year marks its 33rd anniversary since opening its doors. Over the past 30 years, the hotel gets a fresh look each winter.
The 2022 edition, as revealed by the owners, promises to be entirely different from previous years, spanning architecture, amenities, and services. Every nook of this chilly abode is constructed from ice. The ice hotel boasts a frigid bar, a movie theater surrounded by ice, and even an event hall. The projected area is expected to be up to 3,000 square meters. Last year, the hotel utilized 600 tons of ice from the nearby Torne River for construction.
This year, Icehotel has invited 24 artists to redesign the rooms, currently in the final stages of completion. Icehotel representatives share that the accommodation will open its doors to guests from December 15th.
All rooms, constructed entirely from ice, require maintaining a low temperature, with the minimum reaching around -5 degrees Celsius. Guests are advised to use sleeping bags and blankets to preserve warmth. Some rooms are equipped with heaters.
Beyond hosting overnight guests, the hotel also welcomes day visitors. In addition to in-house services, visitors can experience trekking tours, canoeing, and ice fishing on the nearby frozen lake.
Prices start at $603 for a 3-night stay. On the first night, guests will experience bone-chilling cold at the ice hotel, followed by two nights in standard rooms.
Due to the unique structure, the hotel opens its doors for a 3-month period, from December 15th to April 2023. After this period, the hotel will melt, and the water will flow back to the nearby Torne River.
