Icehotel, located in the village of Jukkasjärvi in Kiruna, Sweden, is a unique and iconic establishment that stands out for its architectural brilliance and ephemeral nature. Constructed entirely from ice and snow harvested from the nearby Torne River, the hotel is rebuilt every winter, offering a new design and theme each year. It features intricately carved ice rooms, ice suites, an ice bar, and even an ice chapel, all created by artists from around the world. Guests can experience the magic of sleeping in thermal sleeping bags on beds made of ice, while temperatures inside the hotel range around -5°C to -8°C.
