able to stay a night in one of 19 individually themed rooms in “Jukkasjärvi”,
sharing a room with a life-sized elephant, a Russian imperial-inspired theatre
set or even an icicle cave. The winter wonderland is constructed every year in
December and lasts until its melts away in March. Therefore, every year
talented sculptures and artists hires to create a magical hotel. This year to
construct the Ice hotel is not an easy feat, with more than 5,000 tonnes of
natural ice being harvested from Sweden’s national river Torne.
The
skillful natural gifted artists to have an input in the creative designs and
received over 130 submissions to choose from. Aptly named “Elephant in the
Room” by sculptor AnnaSofia Mååg, was one of the selected designs. Her new
creative design will feature a three-meters-tall African elephant overlooking
the ice framed bed. Moreover, between the beautiful suites there will also be a
1970's inspired Love Capsule, and an imperial Russian-inspired theatre set

cocooning the suite and transforming it into an intimate ice cave. Therefore,
in addition to the exclusively-designed rooms, the Icehotel will have two
luxury suites with secured glass doors while the others have curtain doors, an
en-suite bathroom and private sauna.
The total
vast accommodation boasts 55 rooms, with the equivalent of 700 million
snowballs used to form its walls, ceiling and decorations. No attention to
detail is spared with the furnishings, with the chandeliers alone made from
1,000 hand cut ice crystals. The option of northern lights wake-up can be
arranged for those wanting to witness the Aurora, and a spa is on site for
relaxing afterwards. The Ice hotel is all set to open its ice-cold doors to the
public on December 11.
