Icehotel
Every winter, ice cut from the Torne River becomes a new hotel. Artists from many countries are invited to design individual suites, so no two seasons look the same. In spring, the building melts back into the river.
A permanent wing, Icehotel 365, keeps ice suites cold through the summer using solar power. Warm rooms and cabins stand nearby for guests who want one night on ice and the rest in a heated bed. It sits well above the Arctic Circle, close to Kiruna.
