It features some 1,800 tonnes of ice and snow and took two months to build, but Sweden’s Ice Hotel has opened for this year – and you can now sleep in a replica Tube carriage.
The hotel in Swedish Lapland has seen artists from around the world gather in Jukkasjärvi working with hotel’s design team to come up with the various room concepts.
There are 65 rooms in total, with 13 of them individually designed Art Suites, including the ice tube carriage by British film-producer turned ice-artist, Marcus Dillistone. Other rooms include pole-dancing polar bears and Narcissus where a gianr icy face looks at its reflection in a mirror.
Discover the World is the only UK travel operator with direct flights to the hotel. Three nights’ B&B is from £1,164 per person, including flights from Heathrow to Kiruna.
The ‘Mind The Gap’ Art Suit is truly magical and a must see, especially for any Londoner!! The British film director Marcus Dillistone will build it has also written a diary of the build http://www.discover-the-world.co.uk/en/ice-hotel-2014/mind-the-gap-diary.html It’s a really interesting read if you are planning on visiting or just intrigued!
