Dreams made of ice all year round!
Have you always wanted to dream in a warm sleeping bag between ice sculptures and spend the night surrounded by snow and ice? This extraordinary experience has been possible in northern Sweden for around 30 years. Since 2016, the ICEHOTEL 365 has also been luring summer guests into icy pleasure on over 2000 square meters. All rooms are unique and are individually designed and implemented by artists. In winter, the traditional original will continue to be built next to the Hotel 365 on the banks of the Torne River. From December to April it delights numerous visitors before it melts again in spring. The meltwater returns to the Torne River, from which the ice sheets were previously removed. An exciting cycle, but limited by season. The ICEHOTEL 365 is therefore a nice addition and invites you to take a winter break all year round.
I look in amazement at the oversized, wonderfully crafted clown sculptures. Fuzzy snowballs hang from the ceiling and give the room a special flair. In the next suite, an oversized chameleon watches over the night. I take a moment to absorb the adventurous mixture of jungle atmosphere, ice age expedition and underwater feeling. My breath forms little clouds in the cold when I enter the next room: shimmering struts of frozen water artfully cross each other and create a cozy retreat in the freezing cold. Two icy steps lead up a plateau on which a double bed awaits the next dreamers.

Are all the rooms in the ice hotel equally beautiful?
Playful beauty, exotic creations and wonderful ice sculptures alternate. But even bizarre ideas find implementation: a hotel room looked like a laboratory and at the center was an ice brain. A cozy sleeping atmosphere should not arise here, but some would describe this as a special experience. Another room seemed unfinished and banal to us, because apart from a small blue house it contained nothing. Any minimalist, on the other hand, would be enthusiastic about how this design impresses with its simplicity. As is well known, beauty is relative and art is a matter of taste. Each room is individually designed and unique.
What should I wear when I stay overnight in the ice hotel?
For a visit to the ice hotel you should wrap up warmly, like you would for a winter walk. Sweaters, winter jackets, scarves, hats and gloves are compulsory. For an overnight stay, it is usually sufficient to slip into the sleeping bag with long underwear and a fleece sweater. Hat, scarf and socks are an advantage.
What happens if I get cold in the ice hotel?
If necessary, you can warm up in the warm foyer of the reception. For overnight guests, the communal sauna in the neighboring building promises an extra portion of warmth. Depending on your budget, there is also a private sauna or bathtub with direct access to the Ice Suite. The sleeping bags are suitable for expeditions and keep you warm.
Where can I leave my luggage?
As the rooms only consist of ice and snow, no luggage may be placed in the room. In the “Deluxe Suites” it is deposited in the heated bathroom. Guests of the "Art Suites" hand them in at the reception. There are lockers for small items in the heated shared bathroom.
When can I go to my room?
Your icy bedroom is yours alone after the Ice Hotel's official opening hours. All rooms can be visited during the day. However, part of the room, including the bed, is locked off and remains untouched. If you reserve a "Deluxe Suite" you can check in earlier and stay in your private bathroom until the last day guests leave the Ice Hotel.
