Photos &#8211; The Ice Hotel"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A trip to the North of Scandinavia is not complete without a trip to the Ice Hotel.\u00c2\u00a0 Although expensive to stay, a walk around the village is free and a tour is not too expensive either.\u00c2\u00a0 It is an amazing and truly unusual place.\u00c2\u00a0 With hundreds of sculptures and a giant hotel that can house hundreds of visitors each night&#8230;a truly impressive feat that is built over and over again each winter.<\/p>\n<p>Artists from all over the world come each year to show off their skills by creating individual themes for each room.\u00c2\u00a0 The process of building the hotel takes months and has become a mecca for tourists around the world.\u00c2\u00a0 So enjoy the photos although 6 months overdue:)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icehotel.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.icehotel.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/27767476@N04\/sets\/72157605800542707\/\"
