The Icehotel is a hotel in the village of Jukkasjarvi in northern Sweden, about 17 kilometers from Kiruna, rebuilt each year from snow and ice cut from the nearby Torne River. Opened for the first time in 1990, it is considered the world first ice hotel and remains below freezing throughout its season, with artists invited each year to create differently decorated rooms.

Wikipedia infobox building_type field (Hotel)
An ice hotel is a temporary hotel made up of snow and sculpted blocks of ice. Ice hotels, dependent on sub-freezing temperatures, are constructed from ice and snow and typically have to be rebuilt every year. Ice hotels exist in several countries, and they have varying construction styles, services and amenities, the latter of which may include ice bars, restaurants, chapels, saunas and hot tubs.
