Welcome to what the Icehotel describes as probably the coldest sauna in the world.
Creative Director of Icehotel and architect Luca Roncoroni said he wanted to create a room that plays with the feelings of warmth against cold temperatures. The suite also includes a bathrobe and towels made from snow, two ice ovens, and a 631-liter bathtub.
Roncoroni told Insider: We know that the world is watching from afar, and we hope this all-Swedish creation will send a positive message, a greeting to future artists and guests, while we wait for them to come back to us next year.
