Have you ever dreamed of sleeping in the craziest places in the world? places that almost nobody knows and which will leave you …confused
Well, me yes!
We often talk about escaping to the tropics, under the sun, at the sea, in the hottest countries in the world and far from home. But if the new trend was totally the opposite: cold places…or even frozen. Let me explain: have you ever heard of '' sleeping-on-ice experience ''?
End of the 5 star hotels and all that can be considered as '' normal '': comfort of a huge bed, room service and wide dressing. And if the new luxury was the ability to dare?
It's in the Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi that you can find the most spectacular hotel in the world: the IceHotel365.
IceHotel365 is a hotel and an art exhibition made of ice and snow, founded in 1989, and which reborn in a new way every winter,
Obviously, as any good service, you have the choice: art suites, winter suites, and deluxe suites.
The room holds a temperature of -5 to -8 degrees Celsius. But beware, in the hotel everything is there. Beside the rooms are private bathrooms, relaxation areas, cupboards etc. Everything is designed to make you feel at home when you wake up.
End of the cocktail bar at the reception and the few frames scattered in the room, here you will find ice bar that serves champagne, and an ice gallery!
You will sleep with huge blankets and thermal sleeping bags, and you also have the possibility to loan snowsuit, boots, mittens and balaclava. Finally, obviously the WIFI is available in the hotel!
Each suite is individually themed and hand carved by artists commissioned from around the world.

Nevertheless, for the more courageous the hotel recommends to combine one night cold with a couple of nights warm, staying your first or last night cold.
In the morning, don’t panic, you'll get a lingonberry juice, a session of sauna and everything that goes with it to warm you up.
The hotel has recently opened all year, which was not the case before. Indeed after a long work, the creation of ice stocks and the use of solar panels, the hotel will be open for the same experience during the summer
You can find rooms from 500 euros to over 1000 euros a night, depending on the experience that you want and the date of your booking!
Anyway, don’t worry, for the more cautious, the hotel has also '' warm room '' where as you will understand it’s much hotter, thus, no more excuses to test!
