Ice hotels are extremely popular throughout Scandinavia. Earlier, however, with the arrival of spring, this bright splendor used to melt, necessitating the hotel's reconstruction the following year.
However, things have changed now. In the Swedish village of Jukkasjarvi, 200 kilometers from the Arctic Circle, stands the extraordinary Icehotel 365. This Swedish hotel is open 365 days a year, during all four seasons.
So, how does this hotel maintain its temperature?
According to New Atlas, a refrigerating facility that uses 875 sq m (9,400 sq ft) of solar panels and generates 130,000 kWh annually is utilized to maintain that temperature. This is anticipated to not only pay for the operation of the plant but also to provide a surplus that may be used to run additional establishments like cafes, offices, and warm rooms.
The Icehotel is more than simply a bedroom. There are saunas, a cocktail bar, and an ice chapel inside the building (naturally not made of ice).
Indoor temperatures vary from -5 to -8 degrees Celsius. Even though the beds are built of ice, they are covered with reindeer skins, and throughout the night, thermal sleeping bags are offered. Icehotel 365 offers a variety of themed suites referred to as Art Suites, just like other ice hotels. You may marvel at the exquisite ice-carved figures in each one.
The magnificent ice hotel was made to look like an old-fashioned Icehotel. It has a gallery of ice artworks, an ice bar, and 20 suites. The entire facility could hold up to 250 people at once during the peak season.
