The world's first hotel built out of snow and ice has unveiled a brand new suite designed by Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte, or Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, and his business partner Oscar Kylberg.
Named"Midsummer Night's Dream," the deluxe suite features floral elements and plants, a first for the iconic hotel, which is located 200 kilometers north of the Arctic circle in Jukkasjärvi.The "Midsummer Night's Dream," suite at ICEHOTEL was designed by Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and Oscar Kylberg.
Bernadotte and Kylberg say they aimed to create a moment that captured the mood of the Midsummer celebration of the summer solstice, one of the most celebrated holidays in Sweden. "Well, what better way to show the true character of the ice than to encapsulate the most delicate and beautiful Swedish midsummer flowers in an arctic environment? For us Swedes, midsummer, and especially midsummer's night, is filled with myth and legend." the pair said in a statement."The Scandinavian nature that surrounds us flowers and ice plays a huge part in our cultural upbringing and has a bearing on who we are as Nordic people as Scandinavians.
"Hopefully, our vision with the suite 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' will invite you also to be a part of us."
Too bad we can’t keep the ice caps from melting, but let’s build a hotel out of ice
