Stay at a Ice Hotel

Add to My List Check Off

The Swedes developed the concept of ice hotels gripping the imagination of adventure minded traveler’s seeking alternative lodging experiences. Hotels made of ice and snow in exotic locations offer visitors a night or two in accommodations kept at below freezing temperatures. The experience has come into such great demand that new hotels are springing up in suitable locations around the world. Many of the ice hotels have accompanying bars and restaurants with glasses, serving pieces and plates uniquely carved of crystalline substances to enhance the experience. Intricate ice sculptures adorn the guestrooms and lobbies. The demand for weddings in ice hotels has grown to a level outpacing the supply of the frozen chapels that are constructed in conjunction with the hotels. Most of the establishments are open for only a few months at the coldest times of the year and are virtually “new” every annum as the parts that melt during the warmer months are rebuilt. Bedtime finds guests bundling up in thermal sleeping bags on top of a layer of reindeer skins insulating them from the beds made of ice. Rooms at many of the hotels feature impressive temporary artwork carved into the frozen walls.
