Ice hotel- Jukkasjärvi


The Ice Hotel is a great example of innovative architecture. The Ice Hotel is situated in a village  in Jukkasjarvi which is 200km north of the Artic circle in Sweden.
The Ice hotel is only a temporary hotel, made up of snow and crystal clear ice. The hotel has 80 rooms, which are decorated with ice carved sculptures by artists around the globe. The hotels fixtures and fittings and walls are held firmly together by using a substance called Snice, which is a replacement for the Mortar which is normally used for brick work.

The buildings entire design is breath taking and magical. This is no ordinary hotel experience.
