Cool customers only

The Arctic Bath Hotel in Harads, Sweden, is quite literally the coolest hotel we’ve set eyes on.

Developed by the team behind the famous Treehotel in the same destination, the new project incorporates six guestrooms set around an Arctic Bath with the entire construction floating on the Lule River during summer and freezing into the ice in winter. If that weren’t enough of a USP, it’s also set in a prime location to witness the Northern Lights.

The hotel is due to open early this year with facilities including several saunas, spa treatments, reception, lounge and restaurant.

“The circular shape of the spa and Arctic Bath creates a protected environment sheltering guests and creating a haven to relax and soak up the Arctic environment,” notes Jonny Cooper, founder of Off the Map Travel.
