Usually, people complain when their rooms are too cold, but not visitors to Sweden's ICEHOTEL. Here they take temperature to an extreme and make it a dominant feature of the hotel.

The hotel is built entirely out of a ice, down to the plates and glasses. I have friends who have been. I have friends who want to go and have brainstormed how to make an ice glass for their Pepsi just to mimic the experience.

I, for one, hate being cold. It would be incredible to see, but I don't think I would even think about staying there. Brrr....

I wonder if there is any other feature of a hotel (rather than the dirty bedspread and the broken ice machine in the hall) upon which hoteliers might differentiate a destination hotel. What if every room had a walk-in mini-bar appropriate for entertaining? What if the room service menu included take-out from 30 area restaurants? What if the bathrooms were larger than the sleeping rooms and included Japanese soaking tubs, a steam shower, and an extensive collection of aromatherapy lotions and bubble bath? Hmmm...
