The ICEHOTEL opened for its annual season in December on the riverbank in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden.
This is the 28th rendition of ICEHOTEL and 36 artists from 17 different countries have created 15 art suites, a main hall and a special ice ceremony hall.
There is also an ice bar, ice chapel and ice gallery.
Everything, including the artwork, can only be experienced at ICEHOTEL during the winter in Jukkasjärvi.
When the winter season is over, it all melts into the Torne River.
Among the ice suites:
For the deluxe suite "34 meters", artists Dave Ruane and Luca Roncoroni have carved a labyrinth of a 34-meter ice wall, leading to the heart of the suite – the bed.
For The invisible invincible", Lena Kriström and Nina Hedman have "created an army of marching women, three meters tall.
And German artist Franziska Agrawal has made the art suite "Danger: Thin Ice" where guests enter a bridge and walk across the thin ice to get to the bed.
Besides a night among ice- and snow art, guests at ICEHOTEL can take a northern lights tour on snowmobile, a half-day tour with dog sled and try ice sculpting.
ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi opened in 1989 and is beside a hotel which houses an art exhibition with changing original art made of ice and snow.
