ICEHotel 36
The construction of ICEHOTEL 36 will soon begin.
Tornados, Soap Bubbles, and an Ice Book Archive
ICEHOTEL 36 will open its doors on December 12. Imagine sleeping a night in the eye of a storm in the suite “Sweep Me Off My Feet,” getting lost in a frozen world of soap bubbles in the art suite “Soap Bubbles,” or experiencing the power of a black hole in the breathtaking suite “Spaghettification.” In “The Arctic Archive,” you can dive into a frozen book world and be part of magical storytelling. These are just a few of the concepts that will become reality in ICEHOTEL 36.
The construction of the seasonal part of the hotel will begin in mid-November, when the artists gather in Jukkasjärvi, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. Together with a team of experts in ice and snow construction, the ice production, and lighting design team, they will create a 2,800-square-meter hotel made entirely of snow and ice. When spring arrives, the hotel melts back into its origin again—the Torne River.
“The art for ICEHOTEL 36 is starting to take shape, and we couldn’t be more excited. In late November, 29 artists from 9 countries will arrive in Jukkasjärvi to transform 2,000 tons of natural ice into extraordinary suites and installations—creating unforgettable memories for our guests,” says Marie Herrey, CEO of ICEHOTEL.
