The Icehotel is a hotel rebuilt each year with snow and ice in the village of Jukkasjärvi, in

After its first opening in 1990, the hotel has been rebuilt each year from December to April.[2]
The hotel, including the chairs and beds, is constructed from snow and ice blocks taken from
the nearby Torne River. Artists are invited to create different rooms and decorations made by
ice. Besides bedrooms, there is a bar, with glasses made of ice and an ice chapel that is
popular with marrying couples. The structure remains below freezing, around −5 °C (23 °F).[1]
History
Jukkasjärvi Icehotel interior. Sculptures by Jörgen Westin
In 1989, Japanese ice artists visited the area and created an exhibition of ice art. In Spring
1990, French artist Jannot Derid held an exhibition in a cylinder-shaped igloo in the same area.
One night there were no rooms available in the town, so some of the visitors asked for
permission to spend the night in the igloo at the exhibition hall. They slept in the igloo in
sleeping bags on top of reindeer skins, and were the first guests of the "hotel".

UNUSUAL HOTELS:
Book and Bed Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
A haven for bibliophiles, Book and Bed Tokyo looks like a used bookstore until guests slide open
a bookshelf and reveal a cozy nook with a simple bed, reading light, and electrical outlet.
Unabashedly bare-bones and not for the claustrophobic, 30 stacked cubbies, each big enough
for one person, are available behind the shelves filled with 3,000 titles in Japanese and English.
Bathrooms are shared, and couches in the area outside of the bookshelves provide a communal
reading and gathering area. It’s more hostel than hotel, and at 3,500 yen (U.S. $35) guests will
have plenty of cash left over for new books and exploring Tokyo.

The Lighthouse Marina Resort, Subic
