The Icehotel has to be the best advertisement for recycling in the extreme. With an ingenious mix of ice and snow, plenty of engineering know-how and supreme design flare, it is created in December then left to melt back into the river Torne in April, with no two designs ever the same. The 2009/2010 incarnation celebrated the twentieth anniversary - each year heralding more ingenious and even quirkier themes. Consisting of a range of sleeping accommodation (the top-of-the range Art Suites never ceasing to generate jaw-dropping reactions), and a spectacular Icebar, the rooms radiate from a magnificent central hallway, complete with ice crystal chandeliers. Close by, but with a separate entrance, is a magical Ice Chapel for those truly white weddings. When first hearing about the Icehotel you're likely to have a lot of questions such as what is actually there, where do you shower and isn't it too cold to sleep? Answers to all these questions may be found on our website or why not give our travel specialists a call - they'll be more than happy to tell you all about it.In the meantime, be assured that you won't lose sleep whilst spending your night in an ice room (the thermal sleeping bags are particularly cosy) and that there are plenty of warm showers to be had as well as sauna facilities, a couple of bars, lounges and an excellent restaurant onsite. There is also a log-cabin style restaurant just far enough away for you to walk off your meal afterwards, with perhaps the northern lights illuminating your way home.Take a look at the many holidays we offer, solely based at the Icehotel or combined with other amazing locations.

As a guest at the Icehotel you'll generally have a night 'sleeping on ice' with two or three nights in warm accommodation. There are various categories of both. Ice AccommodationStandard Snow Rooms are in the shape of an igloo and generally sleep two. Ice Rooms are slightly larger with the addition of ice 'furniture' and typically sleep two also. Art Suites are the most spacious and impressive of all, spectacularly themed and with no two alike. For your night 'on ice' you'll be given a thermal sleeping bag so you won't need to wear layer upon layer of night clothes. Beds consist of a large block of illuminated ice upon which sits a mattress then a layer of reindeer skins. More comfortable than you may think, many people report enjoying a surprisingly good nights' sleep. Heated AccommodationKaamos Rooms are en suite hotel rooms for two. The chalets have two bedrooms and kitchenette facilities, the Nordic Chalets are 'light and bright' with modern furnishings, a double bed and bunk beds. The Northern Lights Chalets have a double bed and a single bed with the addition of a skylight for that all-important aurora watching.For detailed descriptions of all the rooms, and further images please visit our website.Accommodation Snow Room Nordic Chalet Art Suite Kaamos Room Art Suite Northern Lights Chaletvisit discover-the-world.co.uk/icehotel
