When you lay your head on your pillow at night do you let your dreams transport you to vast places? Do you dream of unforgettable experiences in lands that are far away? How about dreaming and waking up in a castle? An ice castle to be exact where you are the ice Queen and Transylvania is the kingdom? A little bit of imagination can go along way but it is needed when building a hotel of ice. Yes, creativity and imagination along with the work of several talented sculptors have brought to life once again, Balea’s famous ice hotel. It is nature’s true work of art. In less than one month, glacier artists construct the famous hotel.

Inside of the hotel you will find a nice cozy king sized bed, with bedside table and colourful lights. There is no cable here, so it is the type of experience where you can disconnect from your devices and reconnect with yourself and nature. This year each room is themed after a different European Capitals, so who knows maybe the capital city you choose will make you feel right at “home”. The experience feels like an ice resort, you can enjoy minibar access, an ice restaurant and even an ice church. So, bundle up and enjoy what we believe will be the coolest sleeping experience so far!
