This Ice Hotel should actually be called a Snow Hotel, due to it being made mainly from snow instead of ice. However, it still meets the requirements for our series, so take a look at the last Ice Hotel is the current Ice Hotels in Lapland and Scandinavia series.
The Ice Hotel in Hunderfossen, Norway
The Ice Hotel opens in late December and is open until the end of March. This depends highly on the weather though. It can hold about 25-30 guests at a time, depending on the year, due to there being less snow sometimes. As well as this, if you happen to know 10 people who want to go away with you, you can even rent the whole hotel out.
There are many activities around the hotel, with an ice bar, fairytale castle and even an ice cathedral for weddings. You can also participate in winter sports nearby, including skiing and snowboarding. If you would like, there are also guided tours to go on.
Temperatures in the rooms of the Ice Hotel vary from about 2-10 Celsius. To keep you warm in the night the hotel provides sleeping bags and a sheep skin to sleep on, there also add to the comfort of the bed. All in all, you should be able to stay relatively warm during your stay.
