The ICEHOTEL® is the symbiosis of ice art and design
The ICEHOTEL®, located on the picturesque banks of the Torne River, began as a small art gallery in 1989 and has grown into a world-renowned destination over the course of three decades. The mission of the ICEHOTEL® is to create enriching experiences - fleeting stories and encounters that become everlasting memories.
It's not just a place, it's a community of experiential artists and storytellers. The inspiration comes from the Arctic and the delicate beauty of creating something that is ephemeral yet appeals to all the senses. The ICEHOTEL® team is made up of a diverse mix of people, each with their own passion - be it food, wilderness, local customs, sculpture or travel design.

The ICEHOTEL® offers a unique experience by giving guests the opportunity to stay in a hotel made of ice and snow, inspired by the pure, clear ice source of the Torne River. This unique experience is complemented by first-class cuisine, wellness services and activities in the Arctic environment.
The culinary experience at the ICEHOTEL® is a sensory journey that highlights the rich flavours of the Arctic. With a strong focus on local ingredients and traditional cooking techniques, the ICEHOTEL® offers a gastronomic adventure that is both authentic and innovative.
The cuisine at the ICEHOTELS® emphasises the use of ingredients that are indigenous to the region. These include reindeer, elk, salmon and halibut. Berries such as cloudberries, blueberries and lingonberries are used in both sweet and savoury dishes to add a touch of sweetness or tartness. Mushrooms, especially the delicious chanterelle, are also a favourite ingredient in many dishes.
The main restaurant of the ICEHOTELS®
In an elegant yet rustic setting, the ICEHOTELS® main restaurant serves dishes that reflect the seasons of the Arctic. The menu changes depending on the availability of ingredients, but guests can always expect fresh fish from local waters, game from the surrounding forests and berries and mushrooms from the region. Each dish is carefully presented with the natural beauty of the ingredients taking centre stage.
Icebar by ICEHOTEL®
The world-famous Icebar is not only a place to enjoy unique cocktails and drinks, but also an experience in itself. In an environment created entirely out of ice, guests can enjoy drinks from ice glasses while surrounded by impressive ice sculptures. The drinks menu offers a selection of cocktails that feature both classic and innovative flavours, all with an Arctic twist.
Wine cellar
For wine lovers, the ICEHOTEL® offers an impressive selection of wines from all over the world. The focus is on wines that complement and enhance the flavours of the dishes. The staff is well trained to make recommendations based on the menu and the guest's preferences.

Whether you're enjoying a massage, relaxing in the hot springs or simply taking in the breathtaking views, you can be sure that your well-being is paramount at the ICEHOTELS® spa.
Ice sauna experience
