6. Stay at the Ice Hotel in Sweden

By The Bucket Lister

Ice Hotel

You don't actually mean stay in a hotel made out of ice, do you? Yes, yes, I do. 

Why?

Talk about an adventure! The temperature inside the hotel ranges from -5 to -8 degrees Celsius (23 to 18 Fahrenheit).

The Ice Hotel is re-sculpted every year by different artists/designers, since it melts in the Spring. You can browse the rooms and decide which one you want to stay in, then spend the rest of your nights in a warm/normal hotel. A warm sauna and a hot cup of lingonberry juice awaits you in the morning to warm you up.

Being this far north, there's also a good chance of seing the Northern Lights (which is another item on my Bucket List)!

Would you?

Would you stay a night in an ice hotel?

Why not?

I suppose the obvious answer here is that it may be a tad chilly. But armed with your thermal long-johns, heavy-duty sleeping bag and reindeer skins, you will be quite cosy. 

Just make sure you don't drink too much before bed, so you don't have to get out of bed to use the restroom!

Saw this on the Amazing Race USA, looked amazing, even though they did go when it wasn't fully built!
