Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel
Ice Hotel
The Igloo Hotel was the first of its kind in Norway and the northernmost Igloo Hotel in the world. Situated just a short distance from the city of Alta, high in Arctic Norway, the hotel has a wonderful setting on the banks of the Alta River in a magical winter landscape. The hotel is newly created each winter, built by innovative and professional artists from around the world joining the experienced local team to develop a unique creation based on different themes each season using natural ice and snow. During the day the Igloo Hotel is open for visitors to marvel at the splendor within, but in the evening it is only open for overnight guests. The hotel and facilities are located next to the Arctic Wilderness Lodge.
Sleep Well
Guests can choose between a standard Igloo room with beds made from ice and covered in a mattress and reindeer furs, a larger family room sleeping up to six guests or a themed Suite for two, with ice sculptures and designed beds with a unique theme in each suite. Temperatures stay at a constant -5 degrees, but the well insulated sleeping bags ensure a comfortable night’s sleep. Overnight stays include changing rooms with bathrooms with shower facilities, small lockers, luggage storage area and a morning sauna.
