Ice hotels in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada and other countries today are such type of exotics, to which everyone has already got used to. However, in 1996 the idea of a hotel made of ice was completely unique to the hospitality industry.

And just as 15 years ago, among the project participants there are many creative individuals who will work with such materials as snow and ice for the first time. However, owners of Icehotel have no concerns about this issue: years of experience of similar cooperation with other artists allow not to doubt in success.

This company organizes the construction works, as well as invites artists, who create the interiors of the hotel, and it is The Art & Design Group which chooses the design of the hotel of many projects that have been annually sent to the company from designers from different countries.
