An Arctic Spa at the Top of the World
A floating hotel and spa in northern Sweden offers guests a secluded, mystical experience. The circular Arctic Bath sits on the Lule River.
With six hotel rooms, spas and saunas, the real draw is the outdoor arctic plunge pool in the center of the building, with water kept at a cool 39 degrees Fahrenheit.
Designed to minimize environmental impact while offering a relaxing off-the-grid getaway, this unrivaled hotel is now accepting bookings.
Designed by architects Bertil Harström, Johan Kauppi and Annkathrin Lundqvist, the hotel is made entirely from local wood.
The hotel floats freely during the summer months and freezes in place in the winter.
This arctic experience isn’t for everyone, as a three-day stay including meals and spa access will set you back a few thousand dollars per person.
