Reading: The coolest hotel in the world
Can you imagine a hotel that is entirely made of ice? Well, it exists in Sweden, but only in winter. In spring, the hotel melts away and disappears into the river.
The Ice Hotel is situated on the shores of the Thorne River in the old village of Jukkasjarvi, Sweden.
Every winter, work starts on building a new Ice Hotel, involving 40 000 tons of ice and snow. 10 000 tons of ice is taken from the Torne River, and 30 000 tons of snow is provided by Mother Nature.
The first Ice Hotel was built in 1990. It started as a single room – now it has 64 rooms, as well as an ice chapel, an art gallery, a cinema, a theatre and an Absolut Ice Bar. Last winter, more than 14 000 guests spent the night at the Ice Hotel.
Outside, the temperature is -30°C, but inside the hotel, the temperature is always around -5°C. All the furniture is made of ice, including the beds, but nobody gets cold. The beds are covered with reindeer skins and guests are given warm clothes and special arctic sleeping bags.
In the Absolut Ice Bar, the drinks are served in glasses made of ice, so there is no need for ice cubes!
Every year the interior of the hotel is designed by different artists from all over the world. It is described by visitors as ‘absolutely stunning’, ‘one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen’ and ‘unique’.
