An ice bar in an ice hotel in an ice village


The Ice Hotel at Tomamu Alpha Resort, Japan



Try the Ice Hotel at Tomamu Alpha Resort, in Shimukappu Village, on Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan



You can sleep on a bed made of ice...



..in a bedroom made of ice


Or eat your meal in an ice dining room...



..off an ice plate...


..on an ice table, sitting on ice chairs


the ice bar, meanwhile, serves chilled cocktails in glasses made of ice



You can make your own glass (but it would be virtually impossible to take it home with you)


At the end of a hard's day, you could relax in an ice bathroom...


...with an ice bathtub



The ice hotel sleeps one couple per night for a cost of £625. But be quick: the hotel is open until February 15, after which it presumably melts away, leaving no trace.
