    The Icehotel in Sweden began accidentally in 1990 when an artist designed ice sculptures that proved so popular, visitors had no hotel rooms. People asked to sleep in the sculptures using sleeping bags, and the artist agreed, launching the Icehotel idea. Now over 30,000 tons of snow are used each year to build the hotel, which takes two months but melts away by March. Guests sleep in ice beds, with ice walls, floors, and even glasses in the ice bar.
