Unusual Hotels in Norway

Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel is the the world's northernmost ice hotel. It offers an overnight experience of staying in a room completely made from ice and snow. Every year, the hotel is made from scratch with a different decoration and theme, guaranteeing that you will feel the serenity and the warmness of an igloo.

Snowhotel Kirkenes stands apart as an all-year-round ice castle perched beside a frozen Arctic fjord. Its 14 snow-and-ice rooms are hand-carved annually by master sculptors, each adorned with Nordic and Sámi-inspired motifs. Guests sleep in thermal sleeping bags on ice-surrounded beds inside sub-zero suites, sip cocktails in an ice bar sculpted with intricate art, then warm up in cozy, heated lounge areas or Gamme cabins with panoramic Northern Lights views. With husky sledding, reindeer visits, king-crab safaris, and candlelit dinners in a farmhouse restaurant (all set against shifting Arctic light) it’s a living, seasonal sculpture rather than a typical hotel stay.
