Snow Hotel vs Glass Igloo

Overview

Two iconic Arctic stays, two different experiences. A snow hotel is an adventure in ice; a glass igloo is a warm bed under the sky.

Snow hotel

Rooms carved from snow and ice, kept just below freezing — you sleep in an expedition bag on an ice bed. A memorable one-night novelty. See our snow hotel guide.

Glass igloo

A heated cabin with a thermal glass roof, so you watch the aurora from a warm bed. The cosier, more comfortable choice. See our glass igloo guide.

Which to book

For an adventure, a snow hotel; for aurora-watching comfort, a glass igloo. Many do one night of each.
