Located in the small village of Jukkasjärvi 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, Sweden’s ICEHOTEL is the world’s largest ice structure, assembled every year from over 4000 tonnes of ice and snow.
With winter now formally underway in the Northern Hemisphere, the 2017-2018 version of this ICEHOTEL is now open. In addition to a brand new permanent segment of the hotel kept cool year around by solar power, for this year’s iteration, the resort invited 36 artists from 17 countries to design the structure’s major spaces and guest rooms, including new surreal “art suites” that genuinely transport visitors in an otherworldly winter wonderland.
