I bet the seating arrangements could give a certain chair a run for its money.

Is there any other type of ice hotel?

always wanted to sex it up in an ice hotel

eyehate		2010-01-14 02:58:34 PM

Yep.

I guess.

I mean, it's ice and it looks like a hotel. So I guess they got it right.

Joke about Canadians all you like, that's how our igloos is.

chizzle		2010-01-14 03:00:34 PM

WTF? a fireplace in a room made of ice?

To be fair, ALL hotels in Canada are that way.

This is why we are so afraid of global warming: tourism will go down.

SlothB77		2010-01-14 03:05:55 PM

how do the fireplaces, saunas and hot tubs not melt the ice? if i were in a room, i'd have that fireplace cooking so hard the room would be melted by morning.

If it were a hotel made of ice cream, that would be so much more awesome.

My family has cottages on the same lake as the hotel, and my sister still lives there.

/Cool story bro!

mcsiegs		2010-01-14 03:39:05 PM

I think it's cool. I would definitely stay a night

Rev.K		2010-01-14 03:47:18 PM

I don't know, I see a lot of ice hotels.

dennysgod		2010-01-14 03:47:36 PM

It's this guys favorite hotel.

Easy Reader		2010-01-14 04:08:24 PM

Looks great and would love to walk around for a while seeing it, but I highly doubt I'd be able to convince the girl to stick around any place that's 28 degrees all night.

$1000 for a room with a fireplace, $850 for one without. Freeze to death or spend $150 more?

The builders of the Snow Castle in Kemi, Finland are unimpressed by your Canadian shenanigans.

Speaking of sprinkles, have you ever wondered how they clean the bedrooms, etc.? in some of these hotels, even the bed is made of ice. Yuck...

artifex: ...have you ever wondered how they clean the bedrooms, etc.? in some of these hotels, even the bed is made of ice. Yuck...

I would assume they use a chisel & scraper, and maybe a bucket of warm water. They prolly finish up by re-casting & freezing any terribly melted spots.
