Life In The Ice Hotel In Sweden
If you have chosen Ice Hotel in Sweden from the numerous winter holiday destinations and want to know more about its accommodations, my post is just for you.
The hotel has 60 guest rooms, each of which is something unique. They range from simple snow rooms to ice rooms. Ice suites are larger and more impressive including ice furniture and some marvelous sculptures.
Do you hesitate to stay at night at this ice kingdom where the temperature is about 23°F? I am sure you will change your mind as soon as you learn that the temperature outside varies from 14°F to -40°F. Besides, all the guests who decide to stay overnight are given thermal clothing (thick reindeer skins) and an expedition grade sleeping bag.
However, it is easy to guess that you would like to know how you can sleep on the ice beds. Don’t worry, you will not be frozen due to the bed base comprising wooden slats, mattress and reindeer skin. However, it is not recommended to arrive at this icy travel destination for a night stay with young children or babies.
So, if you have already decided to spend a night in the ice hotel, it would be right to go to Ice Bar and drink either vodka based drinks or hot chocolates before going to bed. In the mornings a maid usually brings you a cup of hot lingonberry juice which helps you feel more relaxed.
But even if you don’t want to spend a night in the Ice hotel, it will be one of the good travel ideas to choose a guided tour and see this “frozen dream” by all means.
This unique hotel, which is a combination of human efforts and natural wonders, is usually available from mid-December to mid-April. When the season is over, the hotel materials are melted and turned back into the Torne River.
So, mark on your calendar the Ice Hotel as your travel destination, pack your warm clothes and enjoy your icy holidays.
