It certainly was. We'll never forget it. We saw the Northern Lights whilst on snowmobiles. Did a horseback safari, Ice sculpting, visited the Swedish Space Centre. It was great and couldn't recommend it enough to anyone else looking for such a unique experience.@@BerraLJ
I've watched all of your videos. You are my window on a world I will never see. I'm an Aussie grandma, with social anxiety so I could never cope with flying. This video is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I love all of your adventures, thank you for all you do. 🙃
You weren't the only one saying wow every time you entered a room, I was doing exactly the same. What an incredible building, the thought of it just turning back to water is quite a magical story as well. What a place!
No, not hoovers. Zambonis maybe but not hoovers. Cool cats too!! And as for getting married, there may be a risk of getting cold feet at the very last moment! Great video!
Each one of your videos is different and they have a real sense that we are there with you on the journey. I've always wanted a visitor's view of the Ice Hotel, so thank you for this video. The perfect video to watch when it gets too hot in summer.
My mind is just blown by all the art and the sheer number and variety of nationalities of the artists. Even as a Swede myself I have never seen it in person nor expected the sheer amount of ice art.
Great to see you're reaction of our rooms . its very well filmed Hope to see you back next winter . Greetings Maximus (sculptor of the room "eternal flow" )
When I was watching your tour of the rooms, my jaw dropped, my mouth was open from the amazing place this was. Thank you for sacrificing you body to the icy cold to being this to us. Stuff like this why we watch your videos.
No this is not boring ! This is a wonderful magical place 😀😻 thank you for showing us all those amazing rooms in the fantastic ice hotel.❄ Brilliant stuff. 👍💯❤❄❄
Wow! Somewhere I could never travel to with the cold so thanks for all the wow’s! The rooms were incredible, the detail in each instillation was amazing, especially the cactuses and cats. The ‘stained glass’ windows carved in to the walls of the church were so beautiful Just fab Steve thanks.
The rooms in the Ice Hotel were absolutely mind-blowing Steve! Seeing an ice sculpture depiction of Otzi the world-famous Iceman at 19:46 into the video was several orders of magnitude even more so! WOW! 👍👍👍👍
What an incredible place, I had no idea it was so extensive or so beautiful. Not surprised you were blown away with those rooms. Love that each is designed by different artists. One of your most stunning videos ever and so surprising. Worth the trip to that frozen wonderland.
WOW! Indeed 😮 Absolutely beautiful, very interesting and I’m very glad you’ve brought it to us Steve. I felt cold just watching 👀 it, lighter moment? No private bathrooms “ I haven’t seen any yellow snow yet” 😂😂😂❤
"How transparent are these columns": you say in the Vlog. You waved and I waved back at my screen here in my house. This is so magical the Icehotel. Love it.
What a treat. With my Swedish ancestry that scenery blew me away. Gorgeous ! The crunch crunch of hard snow under your feet made me wish for more winter memories of my home town in Rhode Island. Love your videos. This one was stunning. Well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Australian here with Scandinavian heritage too. This is just beautiful but as an Aussie, that cold would be unbearable for me. It is truly stunning to see though.
Love this part of the world Steve. Thanks for bringing it to us. Given our current temperatures down under this feels particularly other-worldly. Great job capturing the essence of the Ice Hotel.
Oh Steve, you have surpassed yourself. That was a sublime visit indeed. I cannot imagine staying somewhere so cold. How can it be possible??? I hope the bus back was nice and warm and that you managed to defrost. 🥶
I was a bit sceptical about the whole Ice Hotel thing. A bit soulless and bucket listy, but it seems that I couldn't have been more wrong. Fantastic video again Steve but I'll keep my appreciation of that art installation to RUclips, way too cold for me lol.
If truth be told, I actually started to feel a bit emotional as you were showing us all of these amazing rooms (even the word “amazing” doesn’t do them justice). Thank you so much for this video, and I can now add the Ice Hotel to my bucket list!
Thank you Steve. This was incredible For those of us on the beach in California who feel a chill at 60F, this is somewhere we could never see without your help. Just incredible! Thank you so much!!!
What an incredible place! I can see why you just said "wow" all the time because it was wow. I didn't know such a place existed, thanks so much for taking us with you😃
Thanks for bringing back good memories Steve. I was at the Icehotel many years ago for my honeymoon. Its such a breathtaking place! The huskey and snow mobile rides were everlasting and seeing the northern lights was magnificent 🥶🧊🧤
It's so funny Steve, most of the time on film the bus looks like its going 90mph! Wow, the ICEHOTEL is something the likes of which I have never seen! Stunning seems understated! Cheers Steve!
Very nicely filmed, and you made me want to take a day trip to Jukkasjärvi. It's been a couple of years since last time. I live in Kiruna, but I'm always impressed by the Ice hotel. When you go back to visit it another winter it can look totally different. It feels like exploring an ice world in a video game. This week it's been warmer, +1 to -3 degrees Celsius. In just three months (almost) all snow will be gone, and we'll have daylight at night, and you might get a sunburn instead of freezing. 😎 The Torne river has very clean water so the ice is very clear, and the town takes the drinking water from it.
Hej Steve, really enjoyed your blogs on your trip to Sweden and the far north. Your wonder at all the places you visit is truly inspiring and inspirational. Have always wanted to go to Kiruna and see the town built on an iron mine, and search for the Aurora Borealis. But the ‘Icehotel’, that was the icing on the cake! What a place! Thanks again for all your great travel videos.
The probable reason why there was a rocket there is that outside Kiruna lies Esrange, the Swedish space center. From there, rockets are launched for various research.
OMG! What a magical,place! A photographer’s or vlogger’s dream come true! I’ve seen pictures and short clips,on TV but it’s so much more impressive on this video! Thank you 🙏
I agree with you about the design of the houses in Kiruna. The Ice Hotel was absolutely stunning. I think I preferred the one that melts in Spring, but all of it is magical. Many thanks for another excellent video, Steve.
Absolutely stunning Steve. Not sure my missus would stay there as she feels cold at 18 c . Alicjia would love that, you will have to make sure to take her there soon.Take care mate.
Wow! chillingly stunning! Another journey not to miss! For those who've not experience arctic conditions I'd say the trip and Icehotel are is a must. However after a quarter of a century in Alaska, my destinations lie in other directions and I'll enjoy the surreal chills and thrills from my warm and ice-free bed.
@@steve-marsh Hope you can make it, I've often thought you doing an Alaska sires would be a good fit, and there is the Alaska Railroad that's not your usual passenger service. I'd also love to see your take on Japanese Rail and ferries travel. I miss Japan so much and it would be pleasure to go along with you.
Got married there in 1996 - stayed in a honeymoon suite which was as impressive as all the rooms shown here, got served a warm berry juice in the morning and went straight to a sauna which they used to have in the ice hotel. It's impressive to see how much the hotel has grown in the last 28 years. Thanks a lot for all your amazing videos!
Thanks, Steve, that was fabulous ! It was worth the video just to see the looks of utter wonder and amazement on your face. Just like a small child in his first big toy store . Reminds me of seeing a Lego Disney palace made out of clear bricks in Menzies in Princes Street in the early 60's . 😲
Steve, you bring us the true joy of travel and exploration of different places and experiences. It’s unlikely that I’ll ever get to see the ice hotel in person but you’ve managed to show enough for me to want to go. Thank you
My roommate loves watching movies on the Hallmark Channel, and she particularly enjoyed one of the films set in the IceHotel. The main characters had their wedding in the chapel, and she said it was really beautiful. What a fun and fascinating video, Steve. Thank you so much for this.
I’m so glad you took us on that little escapade. I’ve wanted to see that place for years and now I don’t have to think about going there. I know I just couldn’t take that cold, living as I do in the sunniest place in Queensland Australia. Just love the sun, but it’s always a thrill to see how others live and travel. Keep up your great work💕💕💕
I loved the Icehouse! There are some really talented artists who do this. You could see the feathers on the birds. And to think they do this every year. Wow! What an amazing video Steve. Bravo 👏.
Oh, my friend, I live in Los Angeles. My family is Scotch/Irish. In the last two years, Ive traveled to Istanbul, St Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Moscow, Amsterdam, Paris & London. Now, I only want to visit Scotland. Cheers & love your channel. Isn't it amazing how an authentic, artistic, ferry loving traveler can connect with so many people around the world? Well done, young man! Your hard work is our pleasure. Thank you!
As I thought of questions, you answered them. Very nice timing. I can't imagine building this every year and the amount of work. The rooms were very varied and some were spooky. Thank you very much for taking us along and enduring the cold.
What a fun, enlightening and spectacular video. I was mesmerized and absolutely fascinated with your fantastic camera work. Thanks so much for taking us all there.
That was out of this world Steve.Magical.Too cold for me to visit but I ve managed to see it through your eyes.Such beautiful sculptures.That place is incredable.Good one Steve..Thanks as always
Awesome! 12:54 ooh indeed lol I’ll go with “terrify”. We need to send Scott to that room sometime. He’d likely be up to cruising altitude without the need for coffee 😂
I read a bunch of reviews of this hotel after the previous video from this trip, and there were quite a lot of bad reviews, about the lack of luxury compared to the prices. Now I'm fairly sure the people complaining didn't do their research, somehow probably expected fully furnished rooms with carpets etc in an ICE hotel. This was beautiful to see
Yeah, it is totally about having a one-off experience, so I think it's worth the price (I just couldn't afford it) and the staff were all absolutely lovely
@@steve-marshTo be fair, some of the prices I saw online on their own site were pretty ridiculous, even if you factor in the cost of building and maintaining all those rooms. But I suppose it's like a bucket list thing for some people, something you'll only experience once in lifetime. I also saw some people complain about the staff, but that's obviously very subjective and I know not everyone is respectful towards service workers (not just hotels and bars, but in general). So I could imagine staff sturdily sticking to the rules once a guest starts being disrespectful
@@geniusgeezer1234The artists and designers from all around the world aren't cheap, and there are new designs and artwork each year. A lot of work is done in summer while there aren't as many tourists, lots of planning, and the company needs its profit to continue. And also the hotel must feel "special" and "exclusive", so there's that too. The Ice hotel has a rating of 4,5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor (2364 reviews in total), 1521 five star reviews and 51 one star, so that's not bad at all compared to many other places.
Thanks for my weekend treat.i look forward to your blogs. As a 72year old widow it really does keeps me going 😊
Hey thanks so much for coming along with me on these weird and wonderful trips :) Wishing you all the best!
Steve that looked absolutely breathe taking...brilliant video@@steve-marsh
@@zorxz I thought that saying that a weekly video is what would "keep one going" was a bit much... would make sense it is AI.
Wow great video Steve, super cool hotel in more ways than one 😊
Actually the man who left this comment IS MY 72 year old Dad. My mum passed away 11 years ago. That was NOT an AI comment so get your facts right. There are some really unpleasant trolls on here.
When i visited the Ice Hotel as a kid we got to borrow a floppy disk camera from school to take pictures. Good times and awesome ice slides.
Tjena Robbaz! Kul o se dig här! 😉
The slacker shows up
he made his yearly vid
Grymmaste Robbaz :)
Jaha vad kul att se dig här Robbaz har följt dig förrut rätt mycket king of sweden! :D
If I could give this a thousand likes, I would.
Thank you :)
As a Swede I must say...this is crazy beautiful. So many things still to explore in this country
joo kom gärna upp, var där för ett par veckor sedan,,
Wowsa! I’m blown away by seeing this place. I don’t think illlmever go there, but it’s nice to see these hotels are real
Fantastic! I got tears in my eyes from the spectacular art. Very good filming.
We got married here 13 years ago today!! We are both enjoying your video whilst reliving happy memories ❤ Cheers Steve! Another great video :)
I bet that was an experience of a life time.
It certainly was. We'll never forget it. We saw the Northern Lights whilst on snowmobiles. Did a horseback safari, Ice sculpting, visited the Swedish Space Centre. It was great and couldn't recommend it enough to anyone else looking for such a unique experience.@@BerraLJ
❤️
I am 74 and never knew anything like this even existed. This is just incredible ❤
Wow, what an amazing place. If I ever win the lottery,I'll be staying there. So much work goes into every detail.
So lucky just to get to see it! Thank you for sharing
I think of Narnia. I’m surprised they don’t have the ice Queen somewhere, in her everlasting winter.
This was fun to watch,Thanks
Beaver Lodge though. That could be Narnia inspired.
I've watched all of your videos. You are my window on a world I will never see. I'm an Aussie grandma, with social anxiety so I could never cope with flying. This video is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I love all of your adventures, thank you for all you do. 🙃
And it looks like Superman's home in the Mountains! With the Crystals! 🦸🏂🥶😍🙏
You weren't the only one saying wow every time you entered a room, I was doing exactly the same. What an incredible building, the thought of it just turning back to water is quite a magical story as well. What a place!
No, not hoovers. Zambonis maybe but not hoovers.
Cool cats too!! And as for getting married, there may be a risk of getting cold feet at the very last moment!
Great video!
Haha love it!
boom boom!
Now I'm imagining little roomba like zambonis!

Thanks, Steve. We dont just watch. We go with you. Thank you. Just the best. Addicted!

It blew me away a bit to be honest, incredible!
Travel in the summer, proper fisherman's heaven
Thank you Steve.
Amazing.
Amazing. Amazing.
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
How wonderful! You are such a great soul, always positive💝🙏🌟
Big thank you from Sweden 🩵
The rooms in the Ice Hotel were absolutely mind-blowing Steve! Seeing an ice sculpture depiction of Otzi the world-famous Iceman at 19:46 into the video was several orders of magnitude even more so! WOW! 👍👍👍👍
Ötzi! I was wondering why a "Pompeii corpse" would be inside an Ice hotel. But it's Ötzi! Thanks for correcting my slow brain.
What an incredible place, I had no idea it was so extensive or so beautiful. Not surprised you were blown away with those rooms. Love that each is designed by different artists. One of your most stunning videos ever and so surprising. Worth the trip to that frozen wonderland.
This is one of your best videos ever, Steve! Thanks for taking us to the Ice Hotel!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
WOW! Indeed 😮 Absolutely beautiful, very interesting and I’m very glad you’ve brought it to us Steve. I felt cold just watching 👀 it, lighter moment? No private bathrooms “ I haven’t seen any yellow snow yet” 😂😂😂❤
I couldn't cope going to the toilet at night :D
Oh, you went to the Ice Hotel. Hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you once again for visiting and promoting our beautiful country!
Always a pleasure!
That was a real treat of a video. Thank you Steve. Heard and read so often about the Ice Hotel. Thanks to you I feel as if I have been.

Well said! And thank you :)
i got this recommended to me, and as a northern swede i still have not visited the ice hotel, so it was magical seeing it in such detail!
Hey thanks so much!!!
Love this part of the world Steve. Thanks for bringing it to us. Given our current temperatures down under this feels particularly other-worldly. Great job capturing the essence of the Ice Hotel.
Hey thanks so much! Stay cool :)
37 deg C here today!
Love how you mentioned Tim! You 2 are my favourite RUclipsrs, and both deserve all your success!!
Me too didn't know Steve followed tim and cant forget scott as well 😊
Oh Steve, you have surpassed yourself. That was a sublime visit indeed. I cannot imagine staying somewhere so cold. How can it be possible???
I hope the bus back was nice and warm and that you managed to defrost. 🥶
Ah! My weekend is complete ❤
Have a great one!
I was a bit sceptical about the whole Ice Hotel thing. A bit soulless and bucket listy, but it seems that I couldn't have been more wrong. Fantastic video again Steve but I'll keep my appreciation of that art installation to RUclips, way too cold for me lol.
I was a bit worried it would just be a tacky tourist place, but it genuinely took my breath away!
Steve, FANTASTIC! What a wonderful treat! Bet you're looking now for a warm pub with a fireplace!
Breathtakingly beautiful Ice Hotel. And all that artwork just drips away waiting for next years talented artists to recreate stunning works.
If truth be told, I actually started to feel a bit emotional as you were showing us all of these amazing rooms (even the word “amazing” doesn’t do them justice). Thank you so much for this video, and I can now add the Ice Hotel to my bucket list!
An absolute pleasure to show you around!
I had no idea the Ice Hotel is so spectacular. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you for this awesome video. And please bring Alicja and spend the night in the ice hotel, I´m sure that would be an amazing video. :-)
Thank you Steve. This was incredible For those of us on the beach in California who feel a chill at 60F, this is somewhere we could never see without your help. Just incredible! Thank you so much!!!

Yeah, I was totally blown away by the place!
STEVE just watched this video of this magical place and i echo your sentiments WOW
Great vlog, amazing place and wow! You and Walk with me Tim are the best RUclipsrs out there, keep up the good work.👍
Wow to put me in the same category is a big compliment!

There’s an integrity with SteveMarsh and WalkwithmeTim. It can’t be bought.

However after a quarter of a century in Alaska, my destinations lie in other directions and I'll enjoy the surreal chills and thrills from my warm and ice-free bed.
I'd love to get to Alaska one day!

WOW Just takes your breath away
It really is something eh!?
Loved that one Steve.
One of your best videos. The Ice-Art was Astonishing!
Well done m8. 👍👍👍
Got married there in 1996 - stayed in a honeymoon suite which was as impressive as all the rooms shown here, got served a warm berry juice in the morning and went straight to a sauna which they used to have in the ice hotel. It's impressive to see how much the hotel has grown in the last 28 years.

I always look forward to Saturday lunch! We queue up your latest video and enjoy! This was fantastic to see… thanks 😁
Thanks, Steve, that was fabulous ! It was worth the video just to see the looks of utter wonder and amazement on your face. Just like a small child in his first big toy store . Reminds me of seeing a Lego Disney palace made out of clear bricks in Menzies in Princes Street in the early 60's . 😲
