Night in Art Suite at World Famous Ice Hotel
The Ice Hotel in Swedish Lapland ranks as one of the most unusual and inspiring places to stay.

Now in its 21st edition, each year the hotel is unique. As the temperature in Jukkasjärvi drops below zero Ice Artists descend from all over the world to build this magnificent creation. Using only frozen water from the Torne River, their art is created with imagination and hard work, only to melt away under the unforgiving rays of the sun come springtime. All that remains are your impressions, memories and photograph.

Price per person: From £180 for Ice Suite
