En entire hotel built completely from snow and ice… imagine! During the winter season ice blocks are harvested from the frozen Thorne River. They are then stored at - 5° Celsius during the summer months and used in the following winter to construct the Ice Hotel. Every year the hotel is constructed in a new design with the assistance of various artists. Then, when summer comes the hotel melts and flows back into the river.
However, do not think that you’ll spend a cozy night. The temperatures inside the hotel are kept at a constant - 5° Celsius to prevent to furniture from melting. Even inside a warm sleeping bag, a bed of ice remains a cold and hard. The whole experience is worth while when you wake up to wander around a hallway sculpted out of ice.
We had to sneak a peak into the artist rooms. Each room is designed and sculpted individually by a different artist. Then the Ice Bar brings a whole new dimension and serves drinks in glasses made entirely of ice. Now that’s how you serve Vodka cocktails.
