Igloo hotels and ice bars around the world

Built in 1999, the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel was the first ice hotel in Norway. Today, the hotel boasts 26 bedrooms, four decorated suites, an ice chapel, ice art gallery and ice bar. Guests can also partake in a snowmobile safari, a Northern Lights tour and go sledding with reindeer.

On top of the Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis, sits one of the most exclusive rooftop bars in the area. Every Tuesday during the winter season, a hand-chiseled ice bar/lounge adds something extra. The bar boasts ice high-top tables and an ice air-hockey table.

Every winter in Kittila, Finland, workers of Lapland Hotels build a Snow Village — a hotel, bar and wedding chapel made entirely of ice and snow. This year, the resort worked with HBO for an epic “Game of Thrones” theme. The village also includes log cabins if guests would rather not sleep in beds made of ice. Visitors can also go dog-sledding, take a moonlight reindeer safari or rent out the sauna.

In this 1,000-square-foot ice palace made from more than 90 tons of hand-carved ice, visitors can ooh and ahh at benches, interactive sculptures, chandeliers and drink glasses made of frozen H20. As if that weren’t cool enough, there’s also an LED light show.

As the first ice bar in the Middle East, Chillout Ice Lounge is made almost entirely of ice, from benches, chairs and tables to plates and glasses. The menu does feature some warming items, including hot soups, sandwiches, hot chocolate, desserts, cocktails and more.

In the mood for a cold one (see what we did there)? Like its hotel counterpart, Icebar, first built in 1994, is made entirely of snow and ice.

Icebar Orlando is the largest permanent Icebar in the world, carved out of more than 70 tons of ice. Visitors are given winter coats and gloves upon entering the Fire Lounge (because Orlando-ians don’t typically have those on hand), then ushered into Icebar to admire frozen sculptures and sip drinks in ice glasses.

The building blocks at Icebar London are harvested from the Torne River in Sweden — same as the original Icehotel Jukkasjarvi. Bar visits are limited to 40 minutes but come complete with the use of designer thermal capes and gloves. Each year, the bar is given a redesign with new artwork and sculpting.

The Ice Kube Bar is in Paris’ Kube Hotel and is the only one of its kind in the City of Love. The cover fee includes the use of a winter parka, gloves and unlimited vodka. Now that will keep you warm.
