Ice HotelAn ice hotel is merely a fantasy to most people. To the rich and the famous however, ice hotels however are the best place to spend those hard-earned cash during winter. A temporary hotel made of sculpted blocks of ice and snow, displaying innovative architecture. Ice hotels are constructed every year, just in time for winter vacations.The first ice hotel was a Lapland ice hotel, built in Northern Lapland, Sweden. It was the first of its kind in 1989, a 60-square meter hotel made of ice. What used to be a modest structure is now a 3,000-square meter ice hotel with 85 rooms, which opens from December through April. Canada’s Quebec ice hotel is the first erected in North America. When it first opened in 2000, all its 22 beds were sold out. Among the amenities of said ice hotel is a movie theater, a chapel and an art gallery of ice sculptures. Ice hotel Quebec also accommodates weddings in its chapel. Ice hotel Canada reservations during the month of February gives travelers a $30 dollar discount on their Romantic Shivers promotion. Some US states followed suit with an ice house hotel. Those in Telluride Colorado are also gaining popularity among those who want to spend a reasonable amount of money on their winter getaways. Though these hotels are not really made of ice blocks and the like, snow surrounds and wraps the structure, making them look like real ice hotels. Another hotel of ice in the United States can be found in Alaska. Called the Aurora ice hotel, it has 6 themed rooms, fiber optic lit ice chandeliers, an ice bar and what turned out to be a tourist attraction on its own, a wedding gazebo. Couples who are not in the place to marry can still have their share of romance in this cool and wonderfully designed structure The emergence of other ice hotels hasn’t surpassed the popularity of the ice hotel in Sweden. Nothing beats the pioneer as they say. This is probably because its location offers more activities like cross country skiing, ice sculpting and snowshoe excursions. The resort also claims to have the clearest ice compared to its contemporaries. For those planning to reward themselves with a splendid winter vacation, almost each ice hotel has a website where they display images of their amenities. Rates, discounts and early reservation promos are also provided to lure more visitors, keeping the tourism industry in their respective countries alive during the winter season.
