Sweden’s ICEHOTEL, which is pieced together jigsaw style from huge ice blocks sourced from the frozen River Torne near the village of Jukkasjarvi in Swedish Lapland, a cool 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle, offers guests the chance to stay in a room carved entirely from ice, from the walls to the chandeliers, furniture, intricate sculptures and even the beds.
Most people opt for a three-night stay includes one night in an ice room, two further nights in warm accommodation, and then enhance the experience by indulging in all manner of winter activities and adventures, including snowmobiling, reindeer safaris, winter survival, Northern Lights hunts, husky tours, ice sculpting and wilderness dinners. End each day with a choice of delicious dining – there's hearty everything from hearty regional cuisine to 12-course degustation menus – and a drink in the 45-foot ICEBAR, where the drinks are served in glasses made from, you guessed it, ice.
