An Ice Hotel is a temporary hotel made up of snow, sculpted blocks of ice,
and some steel framing. There are more fingers on your hands than there
are ice hotels in the world. Existing each year between December and
April, the Ice hotel in the village of Jukkasjärvi,
about 17 km from Kiruna, Sweden was the world’s first ice hotel. 10 000
tons of crystal clear ice from the ‘ice manufacturing plant’, the Torne
River, and 30 000 tons of pure snow generously supplied
by Mother Nature are needed to build the Ice Hotel every year. The
hotel sleeps over 100 guests, and every bedroom is unique. Sweden’s Ice Hotel is built from scratch every year. A new design, new suites, a brand new reception – in fact everything in it is crisp and new.
