The 2,100 m2 facility will be filled with ice and snow from the Torne River. Icehotel 365 will include 9 luxury suites, each with sauna and bathroom, and 11 art suites, all sculptured by selected artists. As well as a large ice bar and an ice gallery.
The temperature will be -5°C year round in the new building, and the refrigeration unit that keeps Icehotel 365 cold during the summer runs on energy from a solar cell facility currently under construction at Icehotel.
