In winter, we make snowmen, while someone creates unique architectural masterpieces, fully utilizing the exclusive gifts of this season - crystal clear ice and sparkling white snow. And if you still feel cold in your house, just look at these spaces, as they are created from the very cold!
Ice Hotel, Jukkasjärvi, Sweden
The largest and oldest ice hotel in the world, which is rebuilt every year in December. Almost everything here - from the walls to the beds and glasses in the bar - is made of ice.
Hotel Kakslauttanen, Saariselkä, Finland
Guests of this hotel can choose a room in a log cabin, glass igloo, or snow igloo.

Ice Hotel Balea, Romania
Located in the Romanian mountains of Făgăraș, so it can only be reached by funicular. Here you can also find a restaurant, bar, and ice church.
Alpeniglu Igloo Village, Talle, Austria
This snow village, where you will find over a dozen igloos, is located near the ski resort of Kitzbühel in the Alps. You can spend the night in one of these rooms or simply take a stroll through a large art exhibition of ice sculptures.
Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, Alta, Norway
Every year this hotel changes its theme, so it is rebuilt every winter. Plush sleeping bags and hot tubs will make your stay warm here.
Aurora Ice Museum, Fairbanks, Alaska
Initially conceived as a year-round ice hotel, it was converted into a museum and ice bar after the increase in temperature destroyed the first structure in 2004.
Snow Village Hotel, Kittilä, Finland
30 rooms made of ice and snow with amazing walls – a true work of art. There is also an extraordinary ice chapel located here.
