Today (December 18, 2017): Top 10\u00a0coolest ice & snow hotels in the world.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If you are looking for an awesome adventure this winter to embrace the cold\u00a0instead of escaping it, why not book a stay in an igloo for a night in one of the coldest climes on earth? Since the first ice hotel popped up in northern Sweden\u00a027 years ago, its concept has been copied in several other winter destinations. The idea is always the same:\u00a0structures ranging from intimate hotels to huge villages and even castles are rebuilt (and redesigned) each winter, mixing tons of snow and ice blocks with delightful amenities and unique designs. I hereby share with you the 10 coolest ice and snow hotels around the globe that will provide a\u00a0memory for a lifetime.<\/p>\n

10. SORRISNIVA IGLOO HOTEL, ALTA, NORWAY<\/a><\/h5>\n

Since 1999, a new ice hotel is yearly built in Norway’s Sorrisniva, a settlement located on the banks of the Alta River. The Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel was\u00a0the first one of its kind in Norway and the second in the world to make a hotel entirely of snow and ice, and to day remains Europe\u2019s largest and the world\u2019s northernmost ice hote! The property started with six bedrooms but has grown since then to be a hotel with 26 bedrooms, 4 decorated suites, an ice chapel, ice bar and a lot of art work.\u00a0The shapes of the hotel are made step by step, and all together it takes about five weeks of hard work to get it all ready. Guests stay in one of the igloo’s decorated ice rooms or sleep under the stars in a ‘lavvo’ (a teepee-like tent of the Sapmi people of Norway).<\/p>\n
