This is one super stylish, temporary ice hotel! Situated in Paris, France, it is called the "Kube" and will be open until March 21, 2009.
I adore the hotel concept and design and love the fact that you don’t have to travel to arctic countries to know or experience the joy / hell of an ice hotel.
Michel Amann, a world champion ice sculptor, is the man behind the design which keeps the rooms at a constant temperature of minus 10 degrees. While the mattresses are made of ice, guests are given a polar duvet!
