BlogsGlass Igloo Hotel In Finland
When folks heard we were heading to NE China for the Ice and Snow Festivals, I found it interesting that EVERYONE asked if we were staying in an ice hotel. To which I replied, "Hell no! We're staying in the hotel most likely to have heaters!" Sorry, but the idea of going to a super cold place to sleep on an ice bed doesn't appeal, no matter how many reindeer skins you lay on me.
But it looks like you can get the best of both worlds at the Kakslauttanen Hotel in Finland by staying in these glass igloos.

When sleeping in the Glass Igloos the customer is able
to marvel the amazing northern lights and the millions of stars in the
sky. The experience is also unforgettable when there is a snowstorm.
Kakslauttanen is a very good place for seeing the Northern Lights,
Aurora Borealis, as in the area there are not so many electric lights
outside and it is north enough so that the probability of them is very
high from late August to late April. The Glass Igloos have been built from a very special
thermo glass. Because of that, the temperature inside the Igloo is
always a normal room temperature. It also prevents the glass from not
getting white frosted, hence keeping the view clear even when the
temperature drops under -30 C. To increase the comfort of the customer,
the Igloos have a toilet and luxury beds. Every morning there is also a
sauna and a possibility to swim in an ice hole nearby.
Whoa, you had me there all they way up to "swim in an ice hole." But the rest sounds A-OK. Also I like saying "Kakslauttanen" in a fake Nordic accent.(via Materialicious)
Dang, that is super cool! You seem to be something of a world traveler - will you be going? Sans ice hole swimming, of course. he he I would love to hear a review from someone lucky enough to experience the glass igloos.

I'll put it on the looooong list of places I want to go before I die... it's pretty much all inclusive. But it's definitely up there, in large part because I've always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis!
