Braving the elements at Sweeden's Icehotel

Rooms at the Icehotel in Sweden are rebuilt every season using tonnes of ice from the nearby Torne Rover. It makes for a getaway like no other, writes Shilpa Ganatra.

Sneaking a look at the glacial slab of ice I’m calling bed for a night, it feels every degree of its -5C. The faint blue hue of the lights in the room only adds to its frosty, ethereal atmosphere, as does the silence that pervades the entire 40-roomed block.
