All hotels are restored periodically. However, few do it as frequently as Sweden’s Icehotel. Located in a remote village of Sweden, the hotel is constructed entirely from ice and therefore, has to be rebuilt annually.

The 26-year-old tradition began accidentally in * when locals organized an art exhibition to attract winter visitors. Among the tourists was an adventurous group that announced their intention of spending the night in the building where the exhibition was being held. That' s when the idea of building the icy accommodations occurred to the locals.

Each year, the preparations begin in March and the construction starts in November. Within eight to twelve weeks, Icehotel is ready to welcome its first visitors until mid-April. After that, the beautiful structure will slowly melt into one giant pool.

Among this year's unique suite (套房）offerings is the "Elephant in the Room." It features a 3-metre tall sculpted elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed. For those seeking something more cutting-edge, there are ones themed after a Swedish horror film and local fairytales. To get a good night' s rest，guests have to snuggle inside their sleeping bags with gloves and hats on. Though that seems a little uncomfortable, visitors say it is an experience like none other.

The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in glasses carved from ice. Though dining options are limited to the hotel' s only restaurant, guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier in charge. To keep customers entertained, the hotel offers a lot of fun activities like snowshoeing, dog sledding, and even overnight wilderness camping.
