At the top of Sweden, in the heart of the arctic circle, a one-of-a-kind hotel is being built. At @IcehotelSweden, the rooms, beds, bar, church, main hall, reception area, and all the furniture are made entirely of snow, sculpted ice, and a base of steel framing.
The hotel was first built in 1990, and is only open between the months of December and April every year. To build the #Icehotel, workers harvest tons of ice from the frozen Torne River ever spring and store it until the temperature drops low enough in early November for building to begin. Be sure to follow the @IcehotelSweden Instagram account and visit the Icehotel Jukkasjarvi location page (tap the blue location text above the photo) to watch this year's structure unfold!
