There are countless ways to experience the original Lapland in Sweden, but overnight at a floating glacier resort is probably the most unique experience.
Built in the farthest land of Sweden's Lapland, the Arctic Bath hotel and spa complex was designed to float on the Lule River, the river freezing in winter.

This unique hotel is expected to be opened in the fall of 2018.
The hotel is guaranteed to be securely anchored.
Guests will pass through a long wooden bridge connecting the mainland to the hotel.
A special highlight of the hotel is the circular swimming pool located in the middle of the main building.The temperature of the water in the pool is maintained at four degrees, this is the place dedicated to guests who want to challenge their own cold tolerance.
If not brave enough, the guests could hide in the warm saunas surrounding the pool.
The hotel has enough capacity for 12 guests.Guests will stay overnight to 25-square-meter wooden huts decorated in a neat Swedish style.
These wooden huts also float on the river surface in the summer and freeze in place in winter.
The hotel is designed so that guests with a perfect location look at the starry sky, and also the famous aurora phenomenon.
However, it is not easy to be lucky enough to have the opportunity to use the service here, because the hotel requires a minimum of six months in advance.
