    Sweden’s Ice Hotel, first constructed in the late 1980’s, is built from scratch every year. A new design, new suites, a brand new reception—in fact everything in it is crisp and new. Every year our building techniques improve and our snow-how increases.
    The Ice Hotel is situated on the shores of the Tome River, in the old village of Jukkasjarvi in Swedish Lapland. The incredible structure is one of the best places for an intriguing hotel stay in Sweden, and perhaps the world. 10,000 tons of crystal clear ice from the "ice manufacturing plant", the Tome River, and 30,000 tons of pure snow generously supplied by Mother Nature are needed to build the Ice Hotel every year.
    The Sweden Ice Hotel opens for business beginning in December (depending on the weather) and ends in March.
    Covering more than 30,000 square feet, the Ice Hotel features an Ice Chapel, the hotel itself, an ice art exhibition hall, a cinema and last but not least, the world famous "Absolute Ice Bar".
    Accommodation
    The hotel sleeps over 100 guests, and every bedroom is unique. The sight, as you open the main, reindeer-skin  doors, is simply breathtaking—a grand, ice pillared hallway illuminated by a spectacular ice chandelier(枝形吊灯).
    Since the temperatures are well below freezing (The indoor temperature varies in the vicinity of -4 and -9 degrees centigrade, depending on the temperature outside and the amount of overnight guests.), our guests will inevitably have a few doubts before tucking themselves in their sleeping bags in one of the stylish ice suites. Our hotel guide will be happy to explain everything you need to know about sleeping in the Ice Hotel.
    You will be supplied with a specially made sleeping bag (made by Fjallraven who know a thing or two about sleeping in the Arctic) complete with a sleeping bag liner. In the morning a hot drink will be brought to you, after which you can enjoy a cozy early morning sauna(桑拿) followed by breakfast.
    Double Room
    You sleep in a thermal sleeping bag(insulated body bags first developed for astronauts walking on the moon) on a special bed built of snow and ice, covered with mattresses and reindeer pelts. You are awakened in the morning with a cup of hot beverage at your bedside. Breakfast buffet and morning sauna included.
    Suite
    Unique rooms decorated with ice art and sculptures. Each suite is illuminated by candlelight. You sleep in a thermal sleeping bag on a special bed of snow and ice, covered with reindeer skins. You are awakened in the morning with a cup of hot juice at your bedside. Breakfast buffet and morning sauna included. Warm outer clothing is included in the price.
    Aurora(级光) House Cabins
    The Aurora House cabins have two separate bedrooms for 3 persons, meaning a single bed and a double bed. The rooms have a ceiling skylight for a view of Midnight Sun or Northern Lights. There is a lounge area with refrigerator, water boiler, TV and telephone, bathroom with shower and toilet. Breakfast included.
    Chalet(坡顶小屋) Cabins
    The Chalet cabins have two separate bedrooms and 4 beds in total, bunk-bed style arrangement. There is a sitting room, TV and telephone, bathroom with shower and toilet. Breakfast included.
    Construction of the Ice Hotel
    The building materials are free(zing) and are delivered in abundance, every year, at the appropriate time. The moment the thermometer hits 3 degrees below freezing (the temperature required by the snow cannons), the building of the Ice Hotel commences.
    A staggering 30,000 tons of snow is sprayed on to specially made metal moulds (vaulted steel pillars). Once the snow is sufficiently hard, the moulds are removed and used again to make further snow sections. The entire process lasts a month and culminates in the opening in mid-December. Every year our building techniques improve and our snow-how increases.
    Leisure Facilities
    The Ice Sauna
    No Ice Hotel would be complete without a steaming hot Ice Sauna. It goes without saying that these sauna and bathing facilities are impressive. They are guaranteed to leave no-one cold.
    After a deep cleansing session in the sauna you might like to relax in a warm bath. This could be described as a large bath tub with a view ! The sky above may put on a spectacular show of northern lights—the Arctic sky at night is endlessly fascinating.
    Absolute Ice Bar
    The Absolute Ice Bar in Jukkasjarvi probably enjoys more international fame than the trendiest bars in Stockholm. Twice mentioned in Newsweek as one of the most stunning bars in the world, it certainly leaves no one cold.
    At night, the bar is a natural meeting place for all those who are taking the plunge and mingled in the Ice Hotel. Perhaps they feel the need for a little night-cap. Newly invented drinks based on Laplandic blueberry juice will be served out of specially designed glasses. They are made of ice, naturally, so there’s no need for ice cubes!
    It’s easy to break the ice in Absolute Icebar and thus many seeds of friendship have been sown.
    Excursion Adventures
    You can take part in several excursion adventures when you are in Jukkasjarvi at the Ice Hotel. We recommend you book excursions prior to arrival since they tend to fill up.
     Snow-Mobile Guided Expedition
    Two persons per snow-mobile. You will receive a short driving lesson before the tour begins. A tour for those who have never driven a snow-mobile before but definitely want to try! Daily: 9:30 a.m.—11:00 a.m.
    Snow-Mobile Tour with Lunch
    Guided snow-mobile tour during the afternoon with lunch in a traditional Sami tent in the wilderness. The lunch consists of reindeer steak, ham/cheese sandwich, salmon soup with herbal aioli, blueberry cake and coffee/ tea as well as lingonberry juice for the meal.
    Daily: 12:00 p.m.—4:00 p.m.
    Northern Lights Tour ＆ Dinner
    Guided snow-mobile tour in search of the Northern Lights. Laplander dinner included with sandwich with smoked whitefish, reindeer steak stew and fried potatoes, lingonberry jam and coffee/tea and apple cake, lingonbery juice for the meal. Slide show about "Aurora Borealis" as well as interesting information on these Northern Lights.
    Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday: 7:00 p.m.—10:30 p.m.
    Snow-Mobile Safari to Sami Camp:
    Snow-mobile tour of about 45 minutes to the Sami camp of Sautosjohkka. You are invited to feed the reindeer  and hear about the gorgeous Sami culture, the indigenous people of the area. Sami meal included in their tent, consisting of lightly smoked reindeer steak "suovas", home-baked bread and lingonberry jam and juice to drink. Coffee/tea with cake.
    Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday: 7:00 p.m. —10:30 p.m.
    The Ice Chapel
    This project was first begun on Saturday the 28th of March, 1992. The shape and the size have undergone some changes since then.
    The Ice Chapel of today is what it is thanks to Jukkasjarvi snow, and the ice supplied by the Tome River. The finished chapel is formally handed over to Jukkasjarvi parish during the traditional Christmas service and will be used for church services, christenings and weddings until mid-April.
    This temporary structure, the Ice Chapel, will gradually melt away during April and May, and the water will eventually return to the Tome River, thereby completing the cycle. The life span of this chapel is but a blinking(眨眼，瞬间)of an eye in comparison with the old Jukkasjarvi church which was built over 300 years ago, in 1607.
    The idea behind the Ice Chapel is that it should provide a meeting place for those who are visiting the area. It is in some ways quite separate from Jukkasjarvi Church. They each have their own important role to play.
    The ceremony and the unique experience of the place, the ice, the snow and the almost unreal environment leave no one untouched. And perhaps the shared memories and experiences are stronger for the very reason that the chapel is impermanent. When no architectural souvenir exists, the memories and the vows exchanged are especially cherished.
