| Introduction |
Take our standard 3 or 4-night break at the unique and simply magnificent ICEHOTEL and discover for yourself what all the excitement is about! With just a few months to appreciate the beauty and ingenuity of its design before it melts back into the river from whence it came, can you afford not to visit?
The Icehotel® is available from mid-December to mid-April although December and very early January departures are during the later stages of construction. Snow rooms will be ready for guests and you’ll be able to watch some of the ice sculptures and artists at work, finishing off their creations and certain aspects of the hotel – quite a privilege. However, if you’d prefer to see the hotel is all its glory, the best time to travel is from early January – call our reservations team for advice. |

| About the Icehotel |
Jukkasjarvi is located 200km north of the Arctic Circle, in the heart of Swedish Lapland and is just a short drive from the airport in Kiruna. The village of Jukkasjarvi has a small museum and a pretty church.
Since ICEHOTEL melts every spring, each year a team of snowbuilders, architects, designers and artists from all corners of the world create the Icehotel®. For the 2007/08 Winter season the ICEHOTEL spans over some 6000 m2 and has 80 rooms; Snow rooms, Ice family rooms, Ice suites and ice suites deluxe. Invited artists decorate each suite which are all unique.
The ice used to build this incredible structure is a particular feature of the Icehotel® as it is crystal clear – the fast-flowing river Torne ensures few bubbles are trapped within it. The sight, as you open the main, reindeer-skin clad doors, is simply breathtaking – a grand, ice pillared hallway illuminated by a spectacular ice chandelier.
Kept at a constant -5°C to -8°C, the interior actually feels quite pleasant, especially when outside temperatures can drop to around -37°C! Walk past several ice sculptures and imaginatively lit ice art towards one of the most popular rooms - the Absolut Ice Bar. With its vaulted ceiling, plenty of ice block seating (thankfully covered in reindeer skins) and see-though bar, it serves an impressive range of colourful vodka cocktails, naturally served in chunky ice glasses. Although hot cocktails are served in not-so-attractive paper cups, they provide an instant form of central heating, but be careful not to stand them on the bar, for obvious reasons! |

| Optional Excursions |
|
| The are so many optional excursions to choose from at the Icehotel it is difficult to decide which ones to do! Here's a few: snowmobiling, husky sledging, cross country skiing, moose and reindeer safari's, ice driving and ice skulpting. You may even start your holiday with a transfer from the airport by husky sledge! Optional excursions at the Icehotel» |

| The Restaurants and Absolut Icebar |
| When staying at the Icehotel®, meals are taken in a separate building across the road from reception. The restaurant offers an extensive breakfast and lunchtime buffet and an à la carte dinner menu. A selection of light meals and snacks are available at the cosy basement bar and just a little further along the main road, the Homestead restaurant serves excellent hearty buffet-style meals in a rustic setting.
