Are you tired the heat-waves of this summer? Do you need to cool off? If the answer is “YES”, you are in the right place!

Ice hotels, the beautiful masterpieces of architects and designers can be found in some of the coldest places on Earth.

Icehotel Sweden

Icehotel, located in Jukkasjarvi, is one of the most famous hotels made from cold ice. If you are worried about freezing to death, don’t. The ice block beds are covered in reindeer skin and thermal sleeping bags. Except for cold rooms, the hotel offers warm rooms as well. You should stay in both. A horseback ride to see the Northern Lights is another thing you will remember forever.

Hotel de Glace

Stunningly beautiful snow arts and ice couches will instantly take your breath away. Beside cold rooms, this hotel placed in Quebec City, Canada, provides a private spa, as well. Activities such as “how ice hotels are made” and “how to create your own cocktail glass made of ice” are just some of the fun things you can do there.
