Architecture that tells a story
Designed by Swedish architects Bertil Harström and Johan Kauppi, Arctic Bath is a tribute to the region’s timber heritage and the timeless rhythm of the Lule River. The architecture reflects the resilience of northern Sweden, rooted in tradition, guided by contemporary design.
Floating during summer, frozen into the ice in winter, the structure is shaped by the elements. Each line, surface, and material speaks of the land, of craftsmanship, and of a way of life shaped by water and time.
Arctic Bath today
Arctic Bath is a “one of a kind” hotel, SPA, and restaurant floating on the serene Lule River in the middle of northern Sweden. Surrounded by frost-covered forests in winter and sunlit landscapes in the summer it showcases the endless Arctic beauty and offers a truly immersive experience.
At the heart of Arctic Bath lies a circular main building inspired by log driving history, home to our spa with the characteristic cold bath, saunas, Jacuzzis, and treatment rooms. The restaurant showcases local flavours, while the lounge and bar offer the perfect spot to unwind.
Our guests unwind in our striking Land, Water, or Suite cabins that blend modern Scandinavian design with nature, featuring glass walls, floating walkways, and cozy interiors crafted from wood and stone.
Whether you seek adventure or relaxation, Arctic Bath promises an unforgettable journey into the wonders of the north – no matter the season.
