New Year’s Eve on a frozen river
New Year’s Eve at ICEHOTEL is different. Leave the heels at home – the dress code for New Years at ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL is snow suit and moon boots. The evening starts with a specially composed New Year’s dinner at Icehotel Restaurant. For the stroke of midnight, make your way down to the frozen Torne River and marvel at the hundreds of lanterns slowly rising towards the sky. The party goes on until late in ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL. Sip cocktails ”in the rocks” from glasses made of ice and dance the night away under the ice chandeliers with locals and travelers from all corners of the world.
