Icehotel Jukkasjärvi

Just 200 km away from the Arctic Circle, where the last wild rivers in Europe make their way through nature, icy temperatures prevail in winter.

However, thanks to Icehotel's construction method, the hotel's temperatures are constant, between -5 and -7 degrees. The project, which is both a hotel and an art installation, started in 1989. The hotel melts in the spring and gets rebuilt every year, acquiring a new and unique look.

But what if you don't want to (or can't) wait for winter to have the Icehotel experience?

Well, now you can stay at Icehotel 365. As the name suggests, it works all year round. Sustainable solar energy and a sophisticated cooling system make it possible to maintain constant temperatures. Spread across Icehotel's 2100 m², you will find an art gallery, suites, a bar, and an event area. It's a place like no other.

For the ice hotel's construction, they extract what they need from the nearby Torne River. It is the longest freshwater river in Sweden and the last unexploited river in Europe, so its ice is very pure.

Kiruna airport is 14 km away.

The130 rooms (with the number varying every year, depending on the structure of the hotel) divides into two categories: Cold Rooms and Warm Rooms.

To keep you nice and cozy in the -5 to -8 degree Cold Rooms, you will have a sleeping bag that keeps you warm even at temperatures as low as -20 degrees. Other standard features include outdoor clothing, gloves, shoes, towels, and bed linen. You can store your luggage in a warm place at the reception desk. The bed you sleep on has a thick mattress and reindeer skins. Since the Icehotel is open to visitors from 10:00 to 18:00, a wake-up call at 07:30 is necessary. But don't worry! Warm cranberry juice and breakfast awaits you.

To make sure that you will make the most of your experience in the Cold Rooms, you will get proper training on what to wear and how to use your sleeping bag before your stay.

The Cold Rooms are available in the Icehotel (from November to April) and the Icehotel 365 (possible throughout the year).
