Unique one-of-a-kind experience - We weren't sure if we wanted to take a full day and spend the money to see the ice hotel, but I'm so glad we did. I'm also glad we had Joey as our transportation coordinator and Modestas as our driver. A polar storm was moving through the area the day we went. Snowfall was heavy, wind was ferocious, and the roads looked dangerous to me, but Modestas kept us safe every step of the way. The ice hotel itself is really a marvel. There are 32 ice rooms (each with a different theme), an ice movie room, an ice porch, and more. The artistry is really something. The trip from Abisko takes about 90 minutes and you have about 3 hours on your own at the ice hotel before you head back to Abisko. There is a small cafe and warm drinks in the lobby, and of course an expensive ice bar in the ice hotel. If you haven't seen an ice hotel before and you have a day to spare I recommend this experience. I will remember it fondly for a long time.

A work of art made of ice - We were picked up at the STF Tourist Station in Abisko by bus. Joey accompanied the transfer to the Icehotel and explained to the guests on the way what can be seen from the bus. Nature was so beautiful that Joey even created small video clips with guests' smartphones. In the ice hotel you can admire real art. Artists from all over the world decorate the hotel rooms, which are made entirely of ice. In each of the rooms you could admire ice art. It is a beautiful and unique place. It is a great achievement to rebuild the hotel year after year. Because it defrosts in summer. The hotel remains unique due to the annual reconstruction. I found the trip absolutely worth seeing. Thanks Joey for the great day! Keep going.
