The Ice Hotel, Sweden by busylady

The Ice Hotel, Sweden

Which room would you like? This is the first Ice Hotel built in Kiruna, Sweden. The rooms are a cool minus 5 degrees, and the beds are made of ice, covered with reindeer skins. Bottom left is the ceremony hall where christenings and weddings take place. Apparently the ceremonies are very short! Next to that is the ice bar where they serve cocktails and drinks in glasses made from ice - at a price! Yes I did treat myself to a cocktail just for the experience. All the other pics are rooms created by ice sculptors. I can't find the price of a one night stay but you can get a three night, four day stay for £895. This includes insulated clothing for your one night in the ice hotel and two nights in warm cabins! Meals and other activities are included. I forgot to mention that we didn't stay there - just had a tour and a look round. That was enough!!
Oh, my goodness! Just looking at those pics made me shiver.

It must be very weird, exciting & might be scary staying here! Not boring though that's for sure! Great experience!

It looks amazing, but I think I will pass on staying there the night.

I have heard of the ice hotels. I would love to see but not stay. I think I would get too cold! Yikes! I prefer warmer weather. Fav.
