Sleeping in an “ice hotel” is usually something that people will want to do for just one night. Everything in the room is made of snow and ice, except for the mattress, which is covered by reindeer skins. And then guests sleep in sleeping bags that are tugged so tightly shut, there is only room to stick out their mouth and nose. But otherwise, even the bed itself is made of ice, and a room that is made of snow and ice is, by definition, cold.
But these “ice hotels” are not just glorified igloos. All of that ice and snow can be carved into stunning images and sculptures, which use lights and shadows to paint a palette with countless shades of white, creating beautiful, hypnotizing designs that swirl along the walls.
