The Icehotel Crafted each year using ice from the frozen River Torne, the Icehotel is transformed into a work of art by the world’s leading ice sculptors. Building the seasonal Icehotel normally begins in early November with most of the rooms ready by the middle of December with final touches being made in early January, dependant on weather conditions. Walking inside, you will be mesmerised by hallways lit by sparkling chandeliers of ice, while the art suites have to be seen to be believed. The Icehotel 365 offers a year-round ice experience, blending seamlessly during winter with the seasonal Icehotel, which melts back into the river each spring. As its leading worldwide partner, we’ve been arranging holidays to the Icehotel since its inception in 1990.   Sleeping in an ice room Typically Icehotel guests spend one night in an ice room and the other two in warm accommodation. Classic Ice rooms typically contain a double bed but some can sleep up to 4. The Art Suites are larger, individually themed and hand-carved by artists from all over the world. The 365 Art Suites are the largest with a solid door and there are 9 Deluxe Suites that have an en-suite (warm) bathroom. If you’d like to upgrade to an art suite, or book a warm room as back-up for the whole stay our specialists can tailor your trip to suit your every need. Eating and drinking The Icehotel restaurant offers a fine dining experience (reservations are highly recommended). There is also a breakfast and lunch buffet served here. The 12-course Chef’s Table experience at the Verandah (16 spaces available per sitting), offers guests a menu of bite-sized delights prepared by Head Chef, Alexander Meier who previously worked in a two Michelin-star rated restaurant. Alternatively, a picturesque 20-minute walk from the hotel through the village is the Homestead restaurant serving an a la carte menu in a cosy atmosphere. Inside Icehotel 365 you’ll find the Ice Bar serving a selection of cocktails from glasses made of ice. There's also the Lounge bar offering a warm, cosy atmosphere to relax and enjoy a nightcap.
