The snow hotel

With almost 40° degrees outside, we decided to take a break and visit one of the most "cool" hotel in the world.
Welcome to the Lumilinna Snow Castle of Kemi by the Gulf of Bothnia in Finland.It's for sure a different experience given that every year the hotel is build brand new! Indeed in spring the hotel melts down so next winter the owner waits until the temperature is at least -7° and, using sea water and snow pipes, he makes the snow, (because the natural one is too soft) and he creates a new one. The colder the weather is, the better the snow will be.New SnowCastle will be opened on January 26th 2013 and if you want to stay there it's better you book your stay as soon as possible given that the hotel can be used just for few weeks before the hot temperatures destoy it all over again. In the SnowHotel 18 rooms for doubles / singles and two group-rooms with five beds as well as a Honeymoon Suite.
Great light-effects will add a romantic touch to the charm of the snow as well as sculptures an decorations made of snow and ice. The hotel has a Snow restaurant with an IceBar where you can enjoy both hot and cold drinks and a snow chapel too where it's possible arrange wedding, christening or other church-related events. So you can eat and pray in an extraordinary and unique place. During the SnowCastle-season there are weekly events and during the week-ends there will be pre-arranged concerts and magic performances.
So take your best coat and the sledge and book an unforgettable vacation!
