Want to vacation like Elsa this holiday season? Book a trip to northern Sweden and stay at the world's first-ever permanent ice hotel, Sweden's ICEHOTEL 365.

The original ICEHOTEL, a pop-up that has been built and rebuilt every winter, was the world's first hotel made of snow and ice when it opened in 1989, according to CNN.

But ICEHOTEL 365, which opened last month, will be the world's first frozen hotel to stay open all year.

Located 200 kilometers north of the Arctic circle in Jukkasjärvi, the hotel features 20 suites, an ice bar and sculpting studio, an ice church and more.

According to the hotel website, ICEHOTEL 365 is cooled by solar panels during the summer months and during the winter, the Torne River provides the hotel with its ice.
