Sweden's Ice Marvel: 35th hotel crafted from snow and ice

For the 35th time, an ice hotel was constructed in Jukkasjärvi, northern Sweden. Approximately 550 tons of ice and snow created the 12 extraordinary suites. Although staying overnight can be expensive, there is no shortage of interested people.

This year, for the 35th time, the doors of the Icehotel in Sweden have opened. This year's hotel includes 12 suites, each with a uniquely different decor and artistic vision. There is a room inspired by classical music, a toy chest, animals, dreams, and dance. However, one must hurry to see this wonder, as the building will melt in the spring.

The unique structure has been created again

Staying overnight in an ice hotel is an unforgettable experience. Tourists often wonder how it's possible to spend the night in an ice room and not freeze. It's worth noting that the average temperature inside is indeed low, ranging from 23°F to 18°F, so bringing warm clothing is mandatory. Guests can rest assured about the sleeping conditions, as the beds are equipped with reindeer skins and special thermal sleeping bags.

However, the ice rooms are not all there is. Guests can also visit the bar, which is entirely made of ice.

Additionally, the hotel offers many attractions, such as snowmobile rides, dog sledding, and ice fishing. This location also has a high chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

The price is not low

An overnight stay in the ice hotel is quite a treat but comes at a price. The rates vary greatly depending on the date and whether you choose a room or a suite sculpted by one of the artists. No option is cheap, as rates for a two-person stay start at about $490. On weekends, a suite can cost even over $1,460 for one night for two people.

The standard "warm rooms" also offered by the hotel are much cheaper. These, however, are not made of ice, which is not as big of an attraction.
