CHILL AT GAME OF THRONES HOTEL

A Game of Thrones-themed ice hotel — complete with a bar and a chapel for weddings — has opened in northern Finland in a joint effort by a Finnish hotel chain and the U.S. producers of the hit television series.

Representatives from Lapland Hotels said they chose Game of Thrones to be the theme for this season’s Snow Village, an annual ice-and-snow construction project covering 20,000 square metres in Kittila, which is about 150 kilometres above the Arctic Circle.

Snow Village operations manager Janne Pasma told Finnish national broadcaster YLE that he was a huge fan of the medieval fantasy epic and that it was “a dream come true” that HBO Nordic agreed to go along with the plan.

The hotel, which stays open until April, suggests that guests stay only one night due to the freezing temperatures.
