Overview:

In 1989, the first Icehotel was created from blocks of ice harvested from the Torne River in Sweden. These were then designed, cut and sculpted to form the interiors of the first Icebars. Architects, engineers and designers created an incredibly unique experience that defies words, and return every year to fashion new designs, tastes and experiences. Even the bars, chairs, tables and artwork are redesigned according to a new theme.

Since its first year, more than 3 million visitors have enjoyed having their sense dazzled by the Icebar experience, with the concept now being exported into dozens of new markets.
