This is not an urban legend, 'they' are real hotels available for guest stays. An ice hotel is a temporary hotel made up entirely of snow and sculpted blocks of ice,drawn from a nearby winter. Today there are ice hotels in Sweden,Romania,Norway,Canada, Alaska and Finland. The original ( first) Ice Hotel was constructed around 1989 near the village of Jukkasjärvi, Kiruna,Sweden .This ice hotel has been around for over 18 years. The ice hotels are promoted by their sponsors and have special features for travelers who are interested in novelties and unusual environments, and thus are in the class of destination hotels. All the ice hotels are reconstructed every year.A constant sub-zero temperature is needed for construction and operation. The walls, fixtures, and fittings are made entirely of ice, and are held together using a substance known as snice, which takes the place of mortar in a traditional brick-built hotel.
