The title of the world's first ice hotel belongs to Sweden's famed ICEHOTEL. This unique tourist destination is situated in Jukkasjärvi, a small village near the city of Kiruna, the northernmost city in the country. ICEHOTEL is created solely with blocks of ice retrieved each winter due to the freezing over of the nearby Torne River. One inevitable result of this building process is that, as winter becomes spring, the outside temperature rises which in turn causes the river to thaw. At this point the hotel is no longer able to safely maintain its structure and is allowed to simply melt back into the river. The hotel is then reconstructed the following winter, usually with a new design/layout.

While ICEHOTEL's exact dates of operation vary from year to year, for the current 2007-08 season they will be open between December 7, 2007, and April 18, 2008.
