Icehotel, Jukkasjärvi
Every year, when Torne River turns to ice, a new Icehotel is created on the river bank, in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in the north of Sweden.
- An ephemeral art project and the largest hotel built of snow and ice
- River ice is used architecturally to build the hotel, with at least thirty rooms, including art suites with specially commissioned ice art – new and unique each year – and an ice ceremony hall for weddings
- Ice, snow and light create ethereal and mesmerising spaces each winter, before the structure melts back into the river in the spring
- Controls by Pharos LPC and DigiDot
