In most hotels, if the temperature dropped to -5 °C inside the room, there would be complaints made to the front desk, but that's the whole point of Sweden's Icehotel. The annual attraction is now open and is defined by amazing ice sculpted art.
Have you ever dreamt of visiting a hotel made completely of ice? Or staying in Lapland? Well, the 33rd rendition of the Icehotel has just opened to guests.
The hotel has been constructed and reconstructed every year since 1989 in the village of Jukkasjarvi, 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle next to the Torne River.

Don t expect a warm welcome. Defying the pandemic and the conventional definition of hotel Sweden’s world-renowned Icehotel has revealed its new interiors for 2021, and they’re just as magnificent as you might expect.
An annual holiday hotspot that only opens for four months a year, large parts of the hotel are rebuilt from scratch every autumn, only to melt away into nothingness come spring.
