"they say you're crazy, pushing north"
Come and sit in the Ice Museum... a year-round structure built entirely of ice by an award-winning Italian ice architect. Rooms are $200/night; there are 4, each with unique beds with included blankets and bear skins.
Or just tour the museum, like we did, for a lot less wallet damage, and see gorgeous detailed works like this. This is part of 2 life-sized statues of knights on horses.
And relax at the Stoli martini bar and have a cocktail poured in the sculpted fish luge into a handcarved ice martini glass you can keep as a souvenir (at least for the day or two you're staying in Chena unless you'd like to unpack a nugget of ice in a pool of water when you get back home).
After throwing back enough martinis to stay warm in this 20-degree building, you may be drunk enough to get married.Labels: vacation

OMG does this place look amazing. I have read ab. ice hotels and bars before and they alwasy seem like it would be so mcuh fun to go for a night, but I am no sure how warm it would be. Were you terribly cold in it?
p.s. Hope your knee is better, but at least it was a fun story! ;-)
etchen: it was smaller and darker than i thought it'd be. of course it makes sense it's so dark since they won't want the ice to melt, but i'd come expecting all kinds of prettily lit ice statues. and yes, it was really cold in there! you definitely have to bundle up with the whole gloves and hat and scarf.. i still thought the experience was really neat!
