You weren't the only one saying wow every time you entered a room, I was doing exactly the same. What an incredible building, the thought of it just turning back to water is quite a magical story as well. What a place!

Each one of your videos is different and they have a real sense that we are there with you on the journey. I've always wanted a visitor's view of the Ice Hotel, so thank you for this video. The perfect video to watch when it gets too hot in summer.

Hej Steve, really enjoyed your blogs on your trip to Sweden and the far north. Your wonder at all the places you visit is truly inspiring and inspirational. Have always wanted to go to Kiruna and see the town built on an iron mine, and search for the Aurora Borealis. But the ‘Icehotel’, that was the icing on the cake! What a place! Thanks again for all your great travel videos.

Wow! Just to add one more. Simply stunning and feels like a sci fi scene. Thanks Steve!.

Breathtakingly beautiful Ice Hotel. And all that artwork just drips away waiting for next years talented artists to recreate stunning works.

Thanks for bringing back good memories Steve. I was at the Icehotel many years ago for my honeymoon. Its such a breathtaking place! The huskey and snow mobile rides were everlasting and seeing the northern lights was magnificent 🥶🧊🧤

it's amazing how transport still runs with all the snow. In Scotland the trains stop for leaves on the track.

I read a bunch of reviews of this hotel after the previous video from this trip, and there were quite a lot of bad reviews, about the lack of luxury compared to the prices.

@@steve-marshTo be fair, some of the prices I saw online on their own site were pretty ridiculous, even if you factor in the cost of building and maintaining all those rooms. But I suppose it's like a bucket list thing for some people, something you'll only experience once in lifetime. I also saw some people complain about the staff, but that's obviously very subjective and I know not everyone is respectful towards service workers (not just hotels and bars, but in general). So I could imagine staff sturdily sticking to the rules once a guest starts being disrespectful

@@brianaarts7620The artists and designers from all around the world aren't cheap, and there are new designs and artwork each year. A lot of work is done in summer while there aren't as many tourists, lots of planning, and the company needs its profit to continue. And also the hotel must feel "special" and "exclusive", so there's that too. The Ice hotel has a rating of 4,5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor (2364 reviews in total), 1521 five star reviews and 51 one star, so that's not bad at all compared to many other places.

Another interesting place. So original and amazing.

Wasn't it amazing, Steve? We went there 3 weeks ago and had the same low temperature, so I can feel with you how you had "suffered" outside. The various rooms inside the hotel are from another world and as you had said, the skill of these artists is unbelievable. Yes, a definite must see on everyone's bucket list, but for staying a night I would prefer one of the cosy cabins, too.

99% of English speakers should be able to say the letter Ä almost perfectly. They're using it in words like, cat, mat, pat, hat, that, at. Just say the A part and stretch it a tiny bit. A and Ä are completely different letters, even though most people will understand what you mean if you use A instead of Ä.

Very nicely filmed, and you made me want to take a day trip to Jukkasjärvi. It's been a couple of years since last time. I live in Kiruna, but I'm always impressed by the Ice hotel. When you go back to visit it another winter it can look totally different. It feels like exploring an ice world in a video game. This week it's been warmer, +1 to -3 degrees Celsius. In just three months (almost) all snow will be gone, and we'll have daylight at night, and you might get a sunburn instead of freezing. 😎 The Torne river has very clean water so the ice is very clear, and the town takes the drinking water from it.
