Ice Hotel

Well today's attraction was the Jukkasjärvi ICE hotel ;) imagine a whole new world where almost (some doors are from glass or reindeer fur) everything is made from ice...

Quite amazing what some people can do with frozen water, so during daytime, the hotel is like a museum, quite expensive ~ 25€ entrance fee, but you can experience the new concept by visiting all rooms and different suites.

The suites are personalized by several artists, leaving their touch in the room, which makes it interesting. Enough with talking, here are some pictures.











The last picture is one of the Absolut (Vodka) ice bar, where even the glass are made of ice!

Here is the price list per "normal" (no Valentin's day or other special occasion) night:
1250 SEK ~ 125 €, for a snow room, without ice decoration, like an igloo ;).
1350 SEK ~ 135 €, for an ice room, containing some basic ice decoration.
1700 - 5700 SEK ~ 170 - 570 €, for an art suite room, fully decorated with ice.

cool you down? quite exotic, but probably original !

  1. How did you come to Jukkasjärvi? I live in this country since 27 years (you were barely born) and i still dream of going there...
    J'en ai tellement rêvé de cet hotel! Je crois que c'est aussi beau et magique qu'Eric le montre en photo et vodka + peau de renne = bon sommeil. Bonne nuit

  2. Well It was one of the trip Patricia wanted to go for with her relatives from the UK, I was more than happy to join them... Even it has became more than luxurious, and local people will not be able to even visit the ice hotel since it is too expensive!
