Ice Hotel Also During Summer
Artist: Lena Kriström
For the first time in history you can experience the sensation of the Icehotel in Sweden even during summer. A smaller version of the world’s coolest hotel is currently being built inside Art Center in Jukkasjärvi. It will open when the midnight sun treats us with 100 bright days in a row.
On the 10th of June this year a smaller version of the hotel opens in the small village Jukkasjärvi, 200 km north of the Arctic cirle. In winter, the hotel is 5 500 square meters with 60 rooms; Art suites, Snow rooms and Ice rooms. This summer it will be 120 square meters and hold three art suites, an Absolut Icebar and place for guests to try ice sculpting.
The Art & Design group has already started to work on the projec to build three different Art suites, each of them unique, just like in wintertime.
Icehotels’s little sister will be surrounded by several thousand tonnes of giant blocks of ice inside the Art Center, one of the storage halls in Jukkasjärvi where the indoor temperature is minus five degrees.
Instead of including dog sledding, snowmobile tours and northern light safaris you can during summer go rafting, canoeing, hiking, hunting, fishing or choose between several midnight sun activities.
