THE COOLEST HOTEL IN THE WORLD


Can you imagine a hotel that is made entirely of ice? Well, it exists in swenden, but only in the winter. In the spring, the hotel melts away and disappers into the river.
The Ice Hotels is situated on the shores of the torne River in the old village of Jukkasjarvi, Sweden. Every winter works starts on building a new Ice Hotel, involving 40,000 tons of ice and snow. 10,000 tons of ice is taken from the Tone River, and 30,000 tons of snow is provided by Mother Nateure.
The first Ice Hotel was constructed in 1990. It started as s single room- now it has 64 rooms, as well as an Ice Chapel, an art gallery a theater, a movie theater, and an Absolut Ice Bar. Last winter, more than 14,000 guests spend the night at the Ice Hotel .
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 diferent artist 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."
