As the old cliche suggests “it has to be seen to be believed”. Well this is certainly the case of the ICEHOTEL in Swedish Lapland. There have been different versions of this unique concept, but the original ICEHOTEL near the town of Kiruna, 200 km above the Arctic Circle was the first and is still the best of its kind. First created in 1989, it has been welcoming adventurous guests for over thirty years.

Each season, the River Torne freezes and so begins the yearly cycle of building and ice harvesting for the construction of the famous ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjarvi. Guests travel from all corners of the globe to experience a night in one of the intricately crafted ice rooms which remain at a constant temperature below freezing. It gives off an ethereal glow both inside and out and simply takes your breath away.

On our Classic Icehotel Break you get the chance to sleep overnight in one of the amazing Ice rooms, as well as the well appointed warm rooms, enjoying delicious meals from the restaurants, taking part in some of the wonderful winter activities and keeping watch for the aurora borealis, creating an enchanting short break, longer holiday or honeymoon.

This is one of those bucket list moments not to be missed!
