Icehotel®, Jukkasjarvi

Enjoy our standard 3 or 4-night break to the unique and simply magnificent ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjarvi, set in the heart of Swedish Lapland. You can now fly direct from London in just 3½ hours!

The world famous ICEHOTEL has over 80 rooms built each year from snow and crystal clear ice, taken from the waters of the local river Torne. The Icehotel® is available from mid-December to mid-April. For departures before early January, you can still watch some of the ice sculptures and artists at work, finishing off their creations and other aspects of the hotel, whilst you stay in a snow room. After that time you can see the completed hotel in all its glory and if you wish, upgrade to one of their stunning art suites, each individual designed and hand crafted by one of many artists who travel there from all over the world, to help create the Icehotel each year.

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. The interior at between -5°C to -8°C 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 (covered in reindeer skins) and see-though bar, it serves an impressive range of colourful vodka cocktails, naturally served in chunky ice glasses. Hot cocktails are also available!

The Icehotel Restaurant, situated just across the road, offers an extensive breakfast, a lunchtime buffet and an à la carte dinner menu.

Our standard holiday package includes one night in a standard Snow room or you may wish to upgrade to an Ice room or Art suite. Each is individually themed, often with a striking ice relief, sculptures and a bed that can only be described as a work of art. There are even honeymoon suites, with double sleeping bags and lockable doors! Other nights are spent in warm accommodation, which you can book alone or as a back-up if you are hesitant about trying the 'sleeping on ice' experience!

We also offer trips to the Icehotel at special times of the year such as Christmas or New Year or you can enjoy our 'family fun' trip at half term. There are also trips that combine a stay or visit to the Icehotel with a another destination (such as Stockholm or the Nowegian Fjords) or another activity such as whale watching (on our Orca Safari); Huksy adventure or a skiing holiday.
