Snow Hotel in Finland

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

LumiLinna

— January 3, 2008 — World
To the excitement of all those enamoured by snow sculptures, igloos and ice hotels, LumiLinna Snow Hotel will be opening on January 28 in Finland! The buildings at the SnowCastle of Kemi include the SnowHotel, SnowRestaurant, SnowChapel and CastleLounge, all of which are made of snow and ice, inside and out.

This unique type of tourism is really taking off; instead of seeing cold weather and snow as a disadvantage, ice hotels leverage these traits to create novel experiences. We featured the original Ice Hotel in Sweden, and one the Glace Quebec in Canada, all of which are doing astoundingly well.

Bringing lingerie on a trip like this would probably just be a waste of suitcase space; all 20 of the hotel's double rooms are kept at a chilly –5ºC. It sounds shocking, but really isn't uncomfortable once guests crawl into the Ajungilak arctic sleeping bags.

The SnowRestaurant has ice tables and chairs covered in reindeer skin. The cozy CastleLounge offers a snug area for both coffee and alcoholic drinks, so no matter your mood on vacation, the Snow Hotel has something for you.

The enchanted world of palatial ice will be open daily from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. until April 6.

Check out the video of the rave a the Kemi SnowCastle following two other ice hotels.

Trend Themes
1. Snow Hotels - The popularity of snow hotels is rising, offering unique and novel experiences for tourists in cold weather destinations.
2. Ice Sculpture Tourism - Ice hotels are leveraging the attraction of snow and ice sculptures to create enchanting destinations for travelers.
3. Arctic Sleeping Bags - Ajungilak arctic sleeping bags provide comfortable sleeping arrangements in freezing temperatures for guests of snow hotels.
Industry Implications
1. Tourism & Hospitality - The tourism and hospitality industry can explore opportunities in creating and promoting snow hotel experiences to attract adventurous travelers.
2. Event Planning - Event planners can tap into the growing market of ice sculpture tourism by organizing unique events and activities in snow hotel venues.
3. Outdoor Gear & Equipment - Manufacturers of arctic sleeping bags can benefit from the demand in snow hotels by providing comfortable sleeping solutions for guests in freezing temperatures.
