Does An Ice Hotel Appeal To You?

they do this thing every year, and its very pretty, but its not my cuppa, then again, I barely can take freezing much less that cold!

an ice hotel looks very pretty, all sparkling and clear, but no, its something i would rather look at than stay in. my idea of a hotel is comfortable warm beds , big squashy sofas, and able to dress up to the ninesb in all our glamourous splendour . not galumphing around in big fur coats and big boots !! and the thought of getting up in the morning to a cold icy room does not appeal.

No, I would not do that. I have seen these ice hotels on travel programs a few times over the years. They build them at the start of winter and then they melt at the end. What a stupid idea! I guess they are cleaner for the environment than having a hotel built out of regular building materials though. I wonder what they do for toilets? I like camping, but I only like it when it is warm weather and dry. Luckily that is six months of the year here. I camped last weekend at an archery competition and will be doing the same this weekend with my son if it is not going to be raining. Camping in the rain does suck a bit!

Staying in this hotel has no appeal whatsoever to me. I'd much prefer to stay in a very warm log or similar hotel with lots of fireplaces. And then I'd bundle up and go see the sites... And then maybe not... Maybe I'd just sit by the fire and watch the sites on TV.

When I was in London a few years ago I stopped off at this amazing bar which was made from ice! Everything in the bar from the stools to the shot glasses and table was ice. I found the concept amazing! A hotel appeals to me but only short term as I am a fan of the summer heat and beaches.

Yes, an ice hotel does appeal to me. If I sleep in a hotel, I want to feel comfortably, because I payed for it, but I must admit, that sleeping in an ice hotel is something very special, you can't be in such beautiful, but also weird place every day. This is the reason why many people don't care if there is cold, and this is the reason why I would sleep in an ice hotel, of course with adequate clothes, even if there is cold.

Sounds good. So obviously it does appeal to me. I think I will love the heavenly ambience, so cool and serene, peaceful and quiet. It is as if one slight heat will melt the ice and render one living in the sea. A swimsuit is sufficient. lol.

I have read about the ice hotel which is in Sweden. It is a country would visiting tn the summer time. Staying at the hotel made out of ice doesn't appeal to me at all. I think they have animal skin and fur on the beds. Therefore it wouldn't be suitable for me because I am a vegan. In addition I hate winter and cold weather. I tend to visit a foreign country when it has its sunniest weather but not high crowds. So I visited Cape Town in January when it was summer there but winter at home. Then this year I visited Vancouver in June and July. It was summer there as well as in my home country. When I went to Sweden it was in September which was early autumn. Camping in a tent in the summer time is delightful. Getting clothing suitable for a stay in the ice hotel would be very expensive. It would be less enjoyable that a winter sports trips like skiing in Sweden but staying in a normal hotel in the warm after a cold day on the snow.

ick..no.i hate cold..and they have to be cold. sleeping in down coats doesn't sound like fun to me. i'm sure they're pretty lit up,but i wouldn't want to stay there.

I saw a travel show that featured an ice hotel...very beautiful really. In my opinion it is just for looks...lol...a quick walk through is all I would be interested in. No way I'm staying in an ice hotel..lol..

There is an ice hotel in Quebec, the province next to mine. I, personally, would not like to stay there either. I do not like the coldness of winter, why would I want to stay in an ice hotel? I assume that the naturalists ans outdoorsy type will love this. It is sort of unique.... after all, it's only around a few months of the year.

HI Janey, I've seen the ice hotel before on TV too. I just think its simply awesome. Doesn't it capture your imagination when they say 100% ice?It's an engineering marvel No wooden frames, no metal bars, etc. 100% ice. The first time i saw it i was like "cool". The second time i was like" Mom, can we go there for vacation". And now i'm even planning for one. In my country, we don't experience snow or ice, It's just one degree north of the equator and the heat just fries us everyday. So this would be a totally awesome for people like me. But the sad thing is that the ice hotel will only exist for 5 months and as soon spring approaches all the ice will melt away. And they will begin constructing for the next winter. i

Absolutely not!!!!!! The "cold accommodation" has no door, no bathroom, and your woke by someone coming into your room to wake you up! The "warm accommodation" looks more like a motel. I do not think so! At all!

Ahahahaha i agree. But for people living in a tropical country like ours where every day is like a summer season and it would be heaven for us to spend a day in this hotel.

I have seen this on television and read articles about them. No it does not appeal to me. I think it is just something that people do so that they can say that they have done it. You will not catch me doing it in the near future.

Definitely not! The cold weather and I are not good friends and I reckon staying in an ice hotel would be the greatest torture I could think of! Ice hotel? No thank you!

I hate cold,so I think it is so weird to cost a lot to sleep in a cold ice house,it is a waste of money and sleeping in cold environment is bad for health,so I will deny it!

Oh gosh I can't even begin to imagine it, as I am anemic and always frozen. Here vacation in TN the weather is in the high 70's and I still complain that I am cold so being in a Ice Hotel I would probably be one of the sculptures.

Actually, they provide you with warm clothing to keep you warm, if I am not mistaken? I am not going to say that I have always dreamed about staying in a place like this, but I do think it could be an interesting and very unusual experience to go.

Hi will someone must like it but as for me i'm not a fan of the cold .
