Nestled in the tiny village of Jukkasjärvi (approximately 200km north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden), the Icehotel is more exoctic than it’s location would seem.

From it’s sophisticated (and literally, continually changing) design, to it’s one of a kind guest comforts, the Icehotel offers an experience you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

With the seasonal climate changes, the Icehotel is built fresh in the beginning Winter months, only to return to the river in the Spring. A continuous cycle that allows visitors to choose between the wondrous architectural designs each Winter, or the more conventional means of rooming during the warmer months of the year.

With interior temperatures ranging in an average of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, this isn’t going to be a favorite among the bikini clad sun worshipers. The bathroom accommodations are kept warm, but are off-site from the main hotel.

So when is the best time to visit the Icehotel? That depends on you. If you’re excited about sleeping on blocks of fur covered ice and hoping for a view of the Northern Lights, then December is the best time.
