On one chilly day in 1989, the first ever Icehotel was hand-sculpted out of these massive ice blocks harvested from this very river running alongside. Today, over three decades later, Icehotel has become a must-visit Swedish landmark for travelers from all parts of the globe.

The original ice hotel since 1989, all made of snow and ice from Torne river. Each year reborn in a new guise in December; returning to mother nature come spring. The hotel holds ice rooms, art suites, a ceremony hall and a main hall with ice chandeliers.

Every year, when Torne River turns to ice, a new Icehotel is created in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in the north of Sweden. The ice of the river transforms to design and architecture - an ephemeral art project and the world’s first, and largest hotel built of snow and ice.
