Can you see the northern lights from the hotel itself? Or do you have to take a trip from the hotel to see them? (Assuming that they're visible at the time of my visit!)

Hello, where can we safely store our suitcases and valuables while sleeping in the ArtSuite?

Is it possible to do the cold plunge in the river, without booking the entire spa treatment? I will be staying at the Icehotel in December, but it appears the spa experience that includes the cold plunge in the Torne is booked for the dates I will be there. Really only care about the plunge anyway - bucket list experience.

I have booked to stay in the ICE Hotel in December for 3 nights ending on a night in an ICE room. Can anyone recommend what activities I should do with the hotel. I was considering doing the dog sledding to the hotel and perhaps a snow mobile safari at night to see the northern lights but would love to hear what is recommended by ppl who have been to the ICE Hotel. Also I have booked the deluxe suite Jáuvre as it has showers and bath but I’m not sure if this is as beautiful experience as the other ice art rooms… would it be worth changing or keeping this room for the hotel experience? Would there be any recommendations for preparing for this holiday? Or anything I should be prepared for when I get there. This is a surprise birthday for my partner. We will be arriving in Stockholm for a few nights before going to the ice hotel and then return for two nights to Stockholm again so any recommendations for Stockholm I’d welcome. Is it expensive there? Any unexpected costs? Thank you all.

Are there sledges at the ice hotel that you can borrow for children to play on?
