An ice hotel is a temporary hotel made up of snow, sculpted blocks of ice, and some steel framing. They are promoted by their sponsors and have special features for travelers who are interested in novelties and unusual environments, and thus are in the class of destination hotels. Their lobbies are often filled with ice sculptures, and food and beverages are specially chosen for the circumstances. All of the ice hotels are reconstructed every year, and are dependent upon constant sub-freezing temperatures during construction and operation. The walls, fixtures, and fittings are made entirely of ice, and are held together using a substance known as snice, which takes the place of mortar in a traditional brick-built hotel. In popular culture, an ice hotel was featured in the James Bond film Die Another Day. From Wikipedia under the

Well, every year the ice hotel is constructed and re-constructed each winter, so I don't think there's an actual "oldest standing" ice hotel. However, the first ice hotel in the world was in Jukkasjaervi, northern Sweden . . . and the Ice Hotel is still running each winter.
