For artists, sculptors, designers and architects around the world the opportunity to work on ICEHOTEL Sweden is a bucket list job. This year, the 30th Birthday of Icehotel has made that job prospect even more special. Applications were received from around the world – 126 unique concepts from 34 countries in six different continents have been submitted to this year’s Icehotel jury to be part of Icehotel #30.
The names of those who will design and create the 15 art suites of ice and snow can now be revealed and when the first snow reaches Jukkasjärvi, around mid-November, the selected artists will gather to create the art exhibition of snow, ice and light that will become Icehotel #30.

Luca Roncoroni, Creative Director at the Icehotel says it felt very special:
“It’s 30 years since the start of what later came to be the world-known Icehotel. It’s a great honour to receive fantastic applications from creative people all over the world. I am really looking forward to welcoming the artist teams to Jukkasjärvi this winter and see their visions turn in to unique experiences for our guests.”
