28, March 2015: The famous Ice Hotel in Sweden has just marked its 25th anniversary, and this season has also seen the hotel include in its construction a private function room, perfect for hosting unusual events or conferences with an idyllic and rather quirky Arctic backdrop.
Top specialist operators Weekend A La Carte Aurora Nights, who specialise in Northern Lights holidays, include stays in the famous Ice Hotel on some of their itineraries, with representatives saying they are selling fast.
The original Ice Hotel has been in great demand to create a space to host events, so the development, which coincided with its 25th anniversary has been extremely well received. With a ceiling height of 10m and an area of 175m2, the room is nothing short of spectacular. Designed and constructed in keeping with the rest of the hotel, the private function room is shaped into a classic dome. Architecturally speaking, the dome is important both historically and culturally, and is often regarded as a symbolic representation of spirituality and ceremony — making it a very fitting form for a room of such significance.
A spokesperson from Weekend A La Carte Aurora Nights says that travellers booking a stay in the Ice Hotel this winter will be able to enjoy the sight of the spectacular domed event hall in all its glory. The inner walls, although in contrast to the rest of the hotel, are made of solid ice – designed to create perfect acoustics and ideal light conditions for live performances. A private entrance, a stage, and access to the Icebar top off the impressive features of this build.
The event hall is fully booked for this winter season, but visitors staying a few nights in the famous Ice Hotel while on Northern Lights holidays can be among the lucky ones to see this temporary masterpiece. Weekend A La Carte Aurora Nights offer a range of itineraries to view the Northern Lights, including overnight stays in the original Ice Hotel.

They are fully booked for this winter — Next winter we don’t believe the big hall will be there — we think they just did it for this winter to celebrate their anniversary — in case you now differently? Also we would never organise big events at the hall — just staying there — so I think this needs to be rewritten and I would like to see
