Quirky Hotels
From Around The World
Icehotel, Jukkasjärvi, Sweden
The world’s first Icehotel opened in Jukkas-
järvi, Sweden more than twenty years ago. It
was originally an art exhibition and hotel made
of natural ice and snow from one of Europe’s
lastwild rivers, 200 kmnorth of theArctic Circle.
Today, every corner of the hotel from the walls,
floorsandceilingsareworksofartfromdesigners
of different creative disciplines. Since Icehotel
melts and returns to Mother Nature in spring, it
givesway to collaborations fromdifferent artists
showcasing their temporary creations which
fully transform the interior. Imagine sleeping in a
bedmade entirely out of ice and a room lit up by
lights installed behind the walls of ice. Now that
is a true luxury!
