In Sweden they advertize their famous Ice Hotel, a cool
place to chill-out and sleep on ice, all in freezing conditions and almost total
darkness. Staying in an ice hotel has become a fad, mostly by young people
who want an adventurous vacation above the arctic circle.

Inside the ice bar
In Copenhagen they have one of those Ice bars, a place to
chill out and have a few expensive drinks.
It's not cheap, and you can expect to drop $100 for two people. The ice
bar is a glorified walk-in freezer, but on a hot day in Orlando (which has an
ice bar), it could be quite refreshing.

While the ice bar is a good novelty, it's expensive and the
drinks are so-so.
