The Icehotel is an iconic travel destination in Sweden. It is located in Jukkasjarvi and was established in 198. The hotel and its many suites are made out of ice from the Torne River and are crated yearly as soon as the weather is cold enough.
This year, Bernadotte & Kylberg, an award-winning studio founded by Carl Philip Bernadotte and Oscar Kylberg, designed a new suite dubbed A Midsummer Night's Dream. In addition, the new suite will remain throughout the year as part of Iceholtel 365, which features some of the season's most notable architectural ice designs. The studio duo incorporated flowers and plants frozen into blocks of ice for the walls and furniture in the room.
