Call me crazy, but I really want to make a trek to the Ice Hotel in Kiruna, Sweden. It's located 200km north of the Arctic Circle. Each year they build it with ice that is "harvested" from the Torne river. Also the proprietors invite a diverse group of artists to come and design the interior of the hotel (completely from ice, natch). What a unique experience it must be. Who cares if the average temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (which is warm compared to the below freezing exterior temps)? Considering the extraordinary lengths the creators of this place have to go through each season, the cost per night for the suites and regular rooms are surprisingly reasonable ($900/$600 respectively). I figure it'd be worth dropping a few grand to fly to Sweden, stay a night in the Ice Hotel and a few days in the adjacent normal hotel.
Check'em out on the web: The Ice Hotel.
