Some of my favorite memories stem from building snow forts with my dad. Chicago winters gave us a lot to work with and we were pretty good. We never knew it could be a profession. ICEHOTEL takes snow architecture to new levels. The Sweden based Art & Design Hotel, 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, is one of the most beautiful hotels we’ve seen in recent memory.

Each year artists, architects and designers from all over converge in Jukkasjärvi to make ICEHOTEL. Using water and ice from the River Torne – which produces the clearest ice due to extremely cold temperatures and its unspoiled wilderness – they create a different interpretation of the hotel each winter. For instance, students from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm recently integrated various lighting installations in and around ICEHOTEL. The end result was stunning.
