about the company
The ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi is both a world-unique hotel and an art exhibition crafted from snow and ice.
Inspired by the Torne River, the first small gallery showcased art made from the river’s frozen waters. Since then, ICEHOTEL has been reborn in a new form each winter - a magical and fleeting creation that melts back into the river as the spring sun warms.
Now, over 30 years since we began, it’s possible to enjoy this magical experience all year round. ICEHOTEL 365, cooled by solar power, maintains a steady minus-five-degree temperature, allowing our guests to marvel at fantastic ice creations even under the midnight sun in summer.
our origin
The iconic ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi draws visitors from around the world - a dream destination for many. Here, bustling streets are swapped for vast mountain views, city lights for untouched rivers, and the ethereal glow of the northern lights. ICEHOTEL, carved from the Torne River’s ice, offers an unparalleled experience of magic you won’t find anywhere else.
We’re passionate about creating moments and experiences that will last a lifetime. Rooted in the philosophy of living close to nature, our activities - from ice art and wilderness adventures to extraordinary culinary experiences - are all designed in harmony with the Arctic environment.
Ice and design
At ICEHOTEL, we work with the highest quality natural ice, harvested directly from the Torne River. Since the 1990s, through our vast network of artists and designers, we have crafted unique ice experiences for international brands like Volvo, Chanel, and Nobel.
Welcome to the ICEHOTEL family
We’re more than just a hotel - we’re experience artists and storytellers. Our greatest inspiration comes from the ice of the Torne River, the Arctic nature, and the impermanence that makes each artwork and experience one-of-a-kind. Our colourful family here at ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi shares a passion for everything from wilderness life and cuisine to art and events.
