Swedens iconic Icehotel is opening for its 29th annual winter season – and we desperately want to stay there.
Featuring 15 uniquely designed suites, the hotel is the perfect festive getaway destination for you to live out your Ice Queen fantasies.
This years structure has been made from 30,000 cubic meters of ice and snow. If you dont mind getting a little chilly, it could be the ideal winter break to get you in the festive spirit.
Each suite features stunning ice sculptures – including one that boasts the front of a VW camper van, and another that resembles a giant oak tree. Each room has been designed by renowned artists.
After 150 design submissions, a team of 34 designers were chosen to construct the final project.
The chosen artists included father-daughter duo Jonathan Paul and Marnie Green, who designed the Living Ocean Suite room which aims to highlight the negative effects of climate change and overfishing.
The Haven room, created by Jonan Johansson, Jordi Claramunt and Lukas Petko from Sweden, Spain and Slovenia, depicts a magical portal of ice guarded by a fox and a phoenix.

The incredible Flock room features intricate carvings of a flock of tiny birds behind the bed – it doesnt get much more soothing than that.
If you get tired of staring in awe at the stunning art work, there are plenty of other things to keep you entertained at the Icehotel.
Guests can enjoy Arctic yoga, winter running, Nordic skiing, Aufguss saunas and workshops on exercising in an Arctic climate.
Or you can spend your time swanning about in fur, wearing blue lipstick and clutching a frosty cocktail – because that probably wouldnt get old.
