The other day we posted a feature on Ice Hotels in Lapland and Scandinavia, this was done because we want to provide Lapland and Scandinavian lovers with all the information they need about these regions. This made me want to feature one of my favourite things, Ice Hotels. If you missed the original post, please read an overview of Ice Hotels.
The Lainio Snow Village Hotel in Finland
Opened in 2000 The Lainio Snow Village Hotel in Finland features a very large hotel with a restaurant and an ice bar. Included in this hotel are 20 igloos to stay in and 7 ice suits. Not only is it a very large Ice Hotel compared to some of the other ones, but it also features the largest Ice Bar in Europe, making it a lovely place to visit. At this Ice Bar you can drink from glasses made entirely of ice and also met some great people.
As we mentioned in our original article, you need to be prepared to cope with the cold. So at night you will have to get into a sleeping bag and snuggle up. This is because the temperatures in the hotel can go as low as -5 degrees Celsius, which is approximately 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Luckily this is one of the only Ice Hotels to offer an area where guests can have showers in warm water and also sit down in front of a big fire and watch TV and chat with fellow guests.
There are also some more great features at this Ice Hotel, when you go outside there is an ice maze to navigate around and also a massive snow slide for the kids, and the child inside of you. One place which shouldn’t be missed if you intend on visiting the Ice Hotel is the Ice Chapel which has been built a matter of minuets away.
Location
The Lainio Snow Village Hotel in Finland is located in Lapland, a region of Finland. This is in the western part of the country. The best way to get there is to fly into the airport in Kittila, as it then only takes about 25 minuets to drive to the Ice Hotel. AN alternative way is to fly into the airport in Rovaniemi, which is about 150km away from the Ice Hotel. If you follow our daily flights you will see that there are a lot of flights going to both of these airports from a lot of locations all over Europe.
