The 'Beam Me Up' Ice Hotel Room is Inspired by Sci-Fi Spaceships
Michael Hemsworth — January 10, 2013 — World
The ICEHOTEL in Sweden is renowned as being one of the most iconically vivid destinations on earth and the 'Beam Me Up' suite within the ice hotel offers sci-fi-savvy guests an extraterrestrial sanctuary away from home. The room is, like all others within the hotel, crafted using large blocks of ice; this suite, however, features spacecraft-shaped adornments that are supported by massive frozen pillars to promote an alien-esque atmosphere.
The bed in the 'Beam Me Up' suite is fashioned to resemble a beam of light emitting from one of the cylindrical spaceships. There is intense focus on lighting inside the room with many of the illuminators shining through ice sculptures to give off an out-of-this-world effect.
