It could be an ordinary hotel room like any other one in the small town of Zwolle in the northeast of the Netherlands. Here, just like elsewhere, you can find a bed, mini-bar, bathrobes (浴衣) and two pairs of slippers. An exception, however, is the temperature, that reaches only a few degrees above zero in the room. Welcome to the first Dutch ice hotel!

“If you want to take a shower before you go to bed, make sure to dry your hair, or they can get frozen. Do not drink too much alcohol and do not eat any heavy food. Make sure to change into dry and warm clothes,” says hotel manger Annet van Limburg to the visitors.

There are three rooms in the hotel, the construction (建造) of which lasted ten days. Unlike similar projects, such as those in Canada or Sweden, the hotel is built inside a large freezer warehouse (仓库), not in the nature. The rooms, which are made of the giant block of ice, have a great double bed, colored with pink, green and blue light from lamps. And the ice walls are one meter thick.

The temperature in the room is between six to eight degrees Celsius. “If you are healthy, it is not dangerous,” says Annet van Limburg. However, if the guests during the night change their minds and want to leave the room, they can use the nearby hotels, where the hotel taxi takes them to for free.

Ice Hotel in Zwolle is unique (独特的) not only in the Netherlands, but it is also the first hotel of its kind on the south of Europe. If you are interested in spending the night in such an ice hotel, prepare ?199 for one night with breakfast for two.
