ice hotel

Subzero tourist accommodation

An ice hotel is a hotel constructed primarily from ice and compacted snow, rebuilt annually in cold climates.

Guests sleep on ice beds covered with insulating materials like reindeer hides and thermal sleeping bags.

The structures typically include ice sculptures, ice bars, and ice furniture.

We spent a night at the ice hotel in Swedish Lapland.

Most operate only during winter months before melting in spring.
