Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi: hand-carved ice rooms from the Torne River

Accommodations

Icehotel Sweden offers cold rooms made entirely of sculpted ice from the Torne River, with each room themed by international artists using hand-carved ice furnishings. The ICEHOTEL 365 concept provides these ice rooms year-round, supplemented by warm rooms with flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms. All guests staying in cold rooms sleep in thermal sleeping bags on reindeer hides, with temperatures between -5 and -8 degrees Celsius.

Dining & Bar

The on-site restaurant serves traditional dishes with locally sourced ingredients, including a reindeer dish noted in guest reviews. The below-freezing Icebar serves cocktails in glasses made from Torne River ice, with an ice slide available for guests. Guests can also book the Veranda tasting menu, described as a multi-course meal with nonalcoholic pairings.
