HOTEL OF ICE

One Cool Adventure

Nestled between the icy peaks of Romania's Fagaras Mountains this  remote hotel, accessible only by cable-car, stands 2,000m above sea level. Every winter when Balea Lake freezes over, blocks of ice are cut to build the cosy igloos, a beautiful restaurant and magical church. Hand carved by local craftsmen, the frozen waters from Balea Lake are transformed into the beautifully intricate Hotel of Ice. Every year brings a new theme which runs through the hotel into all of the ice carved igloo bedrooms, each with ornately carved statues and sculptures.
