Sweden ICE HOTEL
& Kiruna
accommodation options...
Sweden ICE HOTEL© main menu
When visiting the ICEHOTEL©
in Sweden you have the choice of the following
accommodations. Kirsty has made a few comments on each of the
different options. More pictures can be seen on our
gallery page
Cold accommodations...
Snow Rooms...(previously Ice Rooms)
In this simple snow room
you’ll get a good night’s sleep in -5 degrees. You sleep in thermal sleeping
bags on a special bed built of snow and ice, on reindeer skins. You are awakened
in the morning with a cup of hot lingonberry juice at your bedside. Breakfast
buffet, morning sauna and towels included. Snow rooms are available for 2 to 8
people.
The basic snow rooms give you the opportunity to
experience sleeping on ice. They sleep two in a polar sleeping bag on an
ice bed. Washroom and sauna facilities are in the main building. They have a
curtain as a door. If you require a spacious room we recommend that you
pre-book an ice room or suite.
Kirsty's Top Tip - stay in an Ice Room for a more
spacious and 'themed' experience.

Each has a different theme and are a lot more spacious than the basic rooms."

Arctic Cabins...
The arctic cabins are spacious with one double

washing up liquid, a tea towel and washing up brush! The Arctic cabins are
traditional in style with exposed pine walls and tiled floors. |

These are situated near to the
Arctic cabins and are more modern in style with a microwave in the kitchen area. |
