ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL is a unique concept and has its outspring in the world's largest Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi in Sweden. You can find ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL in Copenhagen and Tokyo, and now also in Oslo. ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL builds on the success of the famous ABSOLUT ICEBAR, established by ICEHOTEL in 1994.
Pure Nordic nature and craftsmanship The bar is made from scratch with ice from the Torne River in Lapland in Sweden. The walls, the bar, the furniture and even glasses and plates are all made from the same ice. In addition, the artwork is made of ice and is an important part of the experience. ICEBAR Oslo will be located in the centre of Oslo.
Joint venture with Thon Hotels in Norway - It is very exciting for Thon Hotels to be part of this adventure. It is a great additional offer for our guests, as well as a valuable contribution to Oslo as a destination, says Morten Thorvaldsen, CEO of Thon Hotels.
Focusing on the Nordic Countries ICEBAR has been successfully exported to several markets and the establishment in Oslo follows as a matter of course. – There are numerous similarities between Norway and Sweden and we are confident that the concept will be welcomed. At ICEHOTEL, we care about nature, purity and of course ice. These are all elements which Norwegians can relate to. We are very happy to cooperate with Thon Hotels, as we share many values, says director of ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL Agnetha Lund.
ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL ICEHOTEL has been bringing ice bars to the world since 1994. In April 2009 a new bar concept saw the light of day as the world's first ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL opened in the Danish capital Copenhagen. No one can recreate a place as unique as ICEHOTEL, but visiting an ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL will, for a moment, teleport you to Jukkasjärvi.
