ICE Hotel in Sweden
The ICE Hotel is situated in a small village called Jukkas, 200 kms north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden. The heart and backbone of this village is the River Torne which flows freely through the unspoilt wilderness. During winter, the ice gets to a metre thick and is used as a source for all the art, architecture and design.
The rooms are decorated with ice art and sculptures. The website quotes ‘You sleep in a thermal sleeping bag on a special bed of snow and ice, on reindeer skins. You are awakened in the morning with a cup of hot lingonberry juice at your bedside.’
If you want to know how cold the rooms get, then try between -5 °C to -8 °C degrees. Be prepared to dress in warm thermal underwear and a hat and enjoy the experience of the Artic weather indoors with someone special.
Make sure you book in advance as most weekends are already fully booked. The prices range from £90 ($180) to £250 ($500) a night.
