they lay a deer skin over a mattress that is on a block of ice and you lay in special sleeping bags....lol...that's awesome....
from what i read though...you stay one night in the "ice hotel" and the rest in the "warm accommodations"....it gets to -5 C at night....
they wake you up with fresh warm lingoberry juice and have a warm sauna and spa in the morning...i dunno...doesn't seem to bad...

Isn't there a place in Arizona or New Mexico that has been digging out cave-homes for the past decade or so?
If I remember right, they were fairly cheap, too. Natural heating and cooling. Kind of sidetracking but sort of related.
Where's the weirdest place you would live?

At least you don't have to take golden showers to stay warm, they say they have normal warm bathrooms.
Yeah, I saw the show on discovery? showing the whole process that goes into building that ice hotel. What surprised me is that after all that work and flying in artists from all over the world to do unique and intricate ice sculptures and artwork all over the hotel (a unique one in each room) they have to do it all over again the next year.

Located 200 miles within the Arctic Circle in the tiny village of JukkasjÀrvi, ICEHOTEL has been redesigned and rebuilt every year since 1990 using one of the purest materials on earth - water. ICEHOTEL, the designers and photographers are rightly proud of their unique artwork and designs. Here at Simply Sweden we give you the opportunity to witness one of the greatest architectural structures and finest art galleries in the world - ICEHOTEL.
