A look inside Sweden’s Ice Hotel

The world’s first hotel built out of snow and ice has unveiled a brand new suite designed by Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte, or Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, and his business partner Oscar Kylberg.Named “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the deluxe suite features floral elements and plants, a first for the iconic hotel, which is located 200 kilometers north of the Arctic circle in Jukkasjärvi.

The walls of the suite are adorned with ice blocks filled with colorful flowers and fauna, while a stunning ice chandelier light with flowers inside hangs from the ceiling.Bernadotte and Kylberg say they aimed to create a moment that captured the mood of the Midsummer celebration of the summer solstice, one of the most celebrated holidays in Sweden.

ICEHOTEL was founded by Yngve Bergqvist back in 1989 and has been built and rebuilt every winter since then.In 2016, ICEHOTEL 365, a permanent site within the hotel fitted with solar-powered cooling technology was launched. Open all year-round, it features a bar, an art gallery and several suites.
