Snow Rooms and Suites

The thought of sleeping on ice for some is an intriguing prospect. And with a snuggly sleeping bag and some spectacular designs to enjoy, we are sure it will be a night you will remember!

Each room has an ice bed - a large block of illuminated ice upon which sits a thick mattress, a layer of reindeer skins and a thickly-padded polar sleeping bag so you won’t need to wear layers and layers of night clothes. There are several different types of ice accommodation and their size and what they contain sets them apart.

Snow Rooms are classed as ‘standard’ ice accommodation. Our trips, which include a night sleeping on ice, are based on a Snow Room in the shape of a traditional igloo with a double bed as previously described, plus a curtain for privacy. There are also a limited number of ‘family’ Snow Rooms which sleep 4 – if you would like one of these please let us know as early as possible.

Ice Rooms are slightly larger than Snow Rooms and have the addition of ice ‘furniture’ – these too typically contain a double ice bed but there are a few that sleep up to 3 people.

Art Suites are the most spacious and impressive of all the ice accommodation and they are individually themed. Each Art Suite you step into will be more striking than the last: walls are adorned with all manner of ‘sn-ice’ art (a combination of snow and ice); imaginative lighting creates all kinds of mood and incredible ice sculptures, furniture and a large ice bed set the unique theme for the room, which can be surreal, arty, comical or thought-provoking – all most certainly, stunning.

Heated Rooms

Although an overnight in an ice room is what most come here to experience, with outdoor temperatures often hitting the -30°C mark and the ICEHOTEL kept at a ‘balmy’ -5°C (!), it is essential to have somewhere to ‘come in from the cold.’ Fortunately, there are several warm room options on site and the facilities are excellent.

Most stays at the ICEHOTEL are a minimum of three nights with two spent in warm accommodation. However, if you’d prefer to spend your entire stay in a warm room, or have one as back up whilst on your ‘ice night’, do speak to our reservations team.

It is not always possible to determine in advance which of your nights at the ICEHOTEL will be spent in warm accommodation – generally this will be allocated on arrival.

Kaamos Rooms are similar to hotel rooms with several together in a block set in the scenic surrounds of the ICEHOTEL. Kaamos means 'polar light' and these rooms get plenty of it with the addition of large corner windows. They are spacious and furnished in a modern contemporary Scandinavian style, sleep two (mainly twin with a limited number of double beds) and have an en-suite bathroom with shower and WC.
