Located 200km north of the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland, the hotel is built entirely from ice and snow, and has been re-built this way every winter since 1989. Every year when the winter comes, the pristine waters of the nearby Torne River slow down and freeze, allowing blocks to be harvested and sculpted to create this iconic Swedish landmark.
Using 500 tonnes of ice, it takes just six weeks to build this incredible structure which houses new, breathtaking art suite designs each year by numerous artists from all around the world. This is not just a hotel, this is an art exhibition.
Icehotel 34 opened its doors on December 15th, featuring 35 art suites and ice rooms kept at a cool -5 degrees celcius. Experience a night sleeping on ice, and enjoy meandering through the numerous art suites when they are open for guests to view, before enjoying a cocktail in the Ice Bar.
While the art is at the heart of the Icehotel experience, there is certainly a lot more on offer. Fill your days with exciting activities like husky sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing and try creating your own ice sculpture. Enjoy the delicious food in one of the three restaurants, or opt for a special Starlit Wilderness Dinner or 12-course Chef’s Table upgrade for a truly memorable dining experience. Top it all off with a chance to see the northern lights dance overhead, painting incredible colours over the crystal waters of the frozen river and the snow-dusted trees.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!

My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.

Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
