Sleeping in an ice hotel: the ultimate romantic experience!

Have you ever heard of a hotel made entirely of ice? Now might be the perfect time to reignite the spark in your relationship by discovering the luxury of an ice hotel getaway together.

A warm atmosphere in the heart of winter

Created by talented artist-architects, ice hotels reveal their wonders to us every winter. Although ephemeral, they reach their peak to capture the world’s attention. Their themes are indeed renewed each year, while always preserving a magical and romantic style. This is why staying in an ice hotel is the ultimate way to experience an unforgettable honeymoon.

Artists work with ice blocks to construct the hotel’s furniture and decorations. As for the snow, it often serves as flooring; in some hotels, it is even used to create majestic vaulted ceilings. The suites and rooms exude high-end design, featuring various sculptures depicting figures selected to match the theme. To add a touch of fantasy to the hotel, specialists incorporate breathtaking lighting displays, which simultaneously enhance the ice artworks.

Since there is no heating in the rooms, you are probably wondering how you will endure the cold in such a place. Of course, by layering up in your most heavy-duty clothing, but there is more to it than that. The sleeping bags and blankets provided by the hotel will help you enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep in the world of the Snow Queen.

Where to find an ice hotel?

Ice hotels can be found wherever there is snow. Nordic countries have successfully leveraged their geographic location to offer prestigious ice hotels. For instance, you can travel to Finland, where several hotels compete for attention, such as the Igloo Village Kakslauttanen in Lapland or the Snow Village in Kittilä.

In Norway, the Kirkenes Snowhotel is the northernmost ice hotel in the world. In Sweden, you can find the IceHotel in Jukkasjärvi. A more recent addition, Romania’s Hotel of Ice welcomes visitors from December to April. Just a 10-minute drive from Quebec, the frozen doors of Canada’s one and only ice hotel are also open to the public.

Hold on tight: France has its very own ice hotel as well. Located in La Plagne, Savoie, it features charming igloos nestled deep within the snow.
