Is there an ice hotel in Iceland?

We hate to disappoint you, but Iceland doesn’t actually have any ice hotels! This is unfortunate, but it doesn’t mean you should miss out on the unique experience. At Arctic Direct, we have quite the repertoire of ice hotels in other Nordic countries like Finland, Sweden and Norway! These are equally beautiful destinations, also nestled in the cold embrace of the Arctic Circle, and they offer visitors a true Arctic experience that – one day – you’ll hopefully be able to enjoy in Iceland! Unwind underneath mountains of cosy blankets, and sip on chilled drinks at bars carved from ice and snow: the merits of an ice hotel are endless.

Ice Hotel Northern Lights Holiday

Ice Hotel Northern Lights Holiday

Our Ice Hotel Northern Lights Holiday package provides the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure with the best opportunity to see one of the world’s most sought-after natural phenomenons; the Aurora Borealis.
A trip to the ICEHOTEL is already a once-in a-lifetime experience. And now we have made a trip to ICEHOTEL even more spectacular by combining it with a stay in your own private Aurora Hut on the Torne River. The Torne River is one of Sweden’s national rivers and last untouched waters. Blocks of ice are carved from the Torne River each year to create the ICEHOTEL in a new guise every winter and the hotel melts back into the river in the spring.
By staying in a Torne River Aurora Hut, you will not only experience a unique type of accommodation, but you are also uninterrupted by any light pollution giving you some of the best views of the Northern Lights.

The Ice Hotel, Sweden

A trip to The Icehotel in Sweden Jukkasjärvi will make you be the envy of all your friends. ICEHOTEL is created in a new guise every winter, completely made out of natural ice from Torne River, one of Sweden’s national rivers and last untouched waters. When the winter suites have melted back into the river in spring, a part of the hotel still stands, a place where visitors can experience the ice and snow year-round.

On this trip you will get to enjoy sitting on a husky sledge as your professional guide drives the sledge over frozen lakes and through the pristine forest. The package also includes a snowmobile safari when you can feel the need for speed as you experience Lapland's most popular means of travel. And the evening you can enjoy a vodka IN the rocks in the ice bar - but remember to take time check for the Northern Lights because it's one of the best places in the world to see them.

This package is most popular for birthday and anniversaries or people who want to see the ICEHOTEL Sweden but not break the bank. The package can be tailored to your request.

What our Arctic travellers say

Ice Hotel Highlights

Wondering what activities you can try in Iceland? There is so much choice, but we would absolutely advise that visitors attempt the following:

  • The Northern Lights – The Northern Lights are most visible between late August and mid-April in Iceland. As Icelandic winter is so dark, the lights illuminate the night sky magnificently!
  • Horse Riding – Icelandic horses are famous for their cleverness, friendliness, and all-round reliability! Horse riding tours are the best way to explore Iceland’s unique terrain in style.
  • Hiking – The Laugavegur trail is perfect for avid hikers visiting Iceland, running throughout the volcanic landscape of Landmannalaugar to the biting glaciers of Thorsmork. In general, Iceland has a rugged terrain ideal for hiking trails and adventures!
  • Watching The Midnight Sun – Iceland’s Midnight Sun peaks around the 21st of June, which marks the summer solstice! The sun never sets, which leaves visitors with enough daylight to explore everything Iceland has to offer.

While the name Iceland suggests a landscape perfect for hundreds of ice hotels, this isn’t so true! Iceland doesn’t have a large amount of frozen water upon which to harvest ice. Unfortunately, ice hotels depend on a massive supply of ice, drawn from nearby rivers or lakes. The regions of Iceland that are covered in snow throughout the year are highly inaccessible. Building a permanent ice hotel just isn’t going to work! Nevertheless, Iceland boasts plenty of wonderful attractions and architectural wonders that holidaygoers should absolutely visit.

If you have your heart set on visiting an ice hotel, we at Arctic Direct can provide a range of luxury ice hotel packages to suit all budgets! Whilst they may not be located in Iceland, the countries of Sweden, Norway and Finland offer an equally amazing experience.

Curious about visiting an ice hotel? Here are some important tips to bear in mind:

  1. Thin thermals – Layering up thin thermals is more effective for keeping warm than wearing one or two thick, heavy layers. This is because, with thermal wear, the thickness of the material isn’t what warms you up – it’s the air pockets within! We absolutely recommend wearing thermals to an ice hotel, though, as it’s sure to be quite cold.
  2. Don’t wear a scarf – Wearing a hat is advisable, but scarves easily soak up all the moisture from your mouth. This moisture cools, and makes you feel quite uncomfortable and cold! Stick to woolly hats and gloves when visiting an ice hotel, instead.
  3. Cover your shoes – To keep your shoes warm and intact during your stay at your ice hotel, cover them with a blanket or coat during the night! This ensures the cool ice doesn’t seep into the shoe, which can make it exceptionally cold and damp to wear the next morning.

Instead of searching for ice hotels in Iceland, try Sweden! ICEHOTEL Sweden is the original concept for ice hotels throughout the Nordic countries. Located in Jukkasjärvi in the northernmost part of Sweden, ICEHOTEL is made up of gorgeous suites, galleries, and even a church! Guests can explore the Swedish wilderness during the day, and return to a sculpturally magnificent room – totally made from ice – in the evening.

This Swedish ice hotel has experienced so much success, the original founders decided to establish ICEHOTEL 365. In the same style, guests can unwind in winter suites, made of ice handcrafted by international artists. Each room is completely bespoke, and luxe beds are covered with cosy reindeer hides and a thermal sleeping bag! You’ll be warm, relaxed and amazed at the Arctic beauty that surrounds you.

We highly recommend paying either of these ICEHOTEL locations a visit. This is a surreal experience, where guests can treasure newfound memories for life.
