ICEHOTEL is situated in the village Jukkasjarvi, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden. The heart and backbone is the River Torne flowing freely through the unspoilt wilderness. Covered with a meter thick ice layer winter time the river is the source of all our art, architecture and design. The pure water and the steady movement of the river creates the clearest ice possible.
The entire ICEHOTEL is on loan from the mighty Torne River and is a place where time stands still. Just a short period before, fish swam in the water and the river was a crashing torrent of whitewater, wild and frothing. And very soon, when the spring comes and then finally the summer, the rooms, the suites, the bar, the reception, in fact the entire creation, will once again become part of the rushing rapids coursing toward the sea.
Staying at
ICEHOTEL is a must for the modern adventurer – an experience utterly unlike other hotel stays. After a day of adventure, nightfall approaches quickly. The outdoor temperature drops and when you step inside
ICEHOTEL, you feel a rush of warm air. Inside, the temperature is never colder than -5 °C to -8 °C, regardless of how cold it may be outside. It will soon be time to climb into bed. Dress in warm thermal underwear, put on a hat and slip into the cozy sleeping bag. Share the whole surrealistic ice-night with someone special.

Opening the year of celebrations around the seventy-fifth birthday of perhaps the most well-known watch of all time the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso L.A. based cult customiser Dr Romanelli has collaborated with the esteemed Swiss watchmakers Jaeger-LeCoultre to produce two exclusive versions of the timepiece with the famous rotating case.
Bearing the hallmarks of Dr Romanelli’s ‘street couture’ design methodology, with his distinctive scissors logo on the dial, these exquisite watches have been fashioned so that they may be worn on the cuff of four beautifully hand-finished Dr Romanelli jackets, creating a sophisticated fusion of progressive sportswear and luxury brand aesthetics.
The stylish and powerful Reverso Grande Réserve model integrates the technical innovation associated with Jaeger-LeCoultre and the contemporary design flourishes brought to it by Dr Romanelli’s ‘customising’ design outlook. The watch boasts a calibre 874 mechanical movement, lending it eight days’ power reserve, whilst the elegant black and dark grey guilloché dial gives it a distinguished, bold appearance. A special engraving on the case-back of Dr Romanelli’s distinctive couture scissors motif asserts the piece as a must-have fashion item.
This new version of the Reverso watch also suggests a variety of ways of wearing the watch. It comes with a special adaptation bridge with a broad strap in soft lamb’s leather that can be strapped around the cuff of the Dr Romanelli jacket. In addition, the watch head may also be removed altogether and replaced with a steel tag for a more edgy, ‘street-style’ statement. The bridge is also removable so that the watch can be worn with a more classic strap if desired.

To realise their vision, the owners assembled a team of profeesionals from both Ireland and abroad.
