What Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel says
“This special atmosphere may be experienced whilst admiring the art work, having a special drink in the ice bar and especially when sleeping in a warm sleeping bag on a bed of reindeer skins.”
“The Igloo Hotel is rebuilt every winter, featuring a blend of unique igloo rooms and themed suites.”
“open every year from December 20 to March 31.”
“The first night you will be spending in our unique ice hotel, while the second and third night you will be staying in our Wilderness lodge.”
“Our Visit the Igloo Hotel experience offers you the opportunity to explore the igloo building, view the main room with its many fantastic ice sculptures, visit the Ice Chapel, view a selection of the bedrooms and generally experience the special ambience created by the ice construction.”
Before you book
- Book the cold room by name. Choose "Igloo room". Many visitors only buy a day ticket to look around.
- Plan one night in the ice. Most people sleep one night in the cold room and the other nights in a warm room.
- Ask about what the website doesn't say. It doesn't mention: room temperature, toilets and showers, bathroom in the cold room.
- Check the dates. Ice and snow rooms exist only in the cold months, and the opening date moves with the weather.
