Chill Out in Sweden

Each winter for more than 20 years, artisans have convened in the small village of Jukkasjärvi, in northern Sweden, to re-create the elaborately carved IceHotel (doubles from $535 to $850 per night) from scratch using chainsaws and chisels. This time around, the hotel enlisted the talents of London-based artists Ben Rousseau and Ian Douglas-Jones to design a suite they call “Legacy of the River.” Imitators have sprung up, but this remains the world’s largest ice hotel, welcoming guests seasonally. Mingle at the Absolut Icebar over cocktails like vodka with lingonberry juice. —Crai Bower
