Every year you can expect something different as it is rebuilt with each new season.

Inside are 24 rooms and suites, each with arctic sleeping bags, as well as hot tubs and sauna on-site.

Guests are greeted with a welcome cocktail, but upgrade to a suite for a private hot tub and fire.

Back in 2014, the hotel even launched a Frozen Suite which was modelled on Anna and Elsa’s rooms.

You can only visit between January and March, due to the cold weather needed for it, with rooms starting from $399.

But when there, there is lots to do including hiking and dog-sledding.

For kids, there are climbing walls and even a snow fort for battles.

If you fancy living out your Frozen fairytale dream, you can even rent out the hotel – and ice chapel – for your wedding, complete with horse carriage, a live violinist and a VIP red carpet.
