Cape Town - The 26th Ice Hotel in Sweden now offers holiday makers a chance to spend the night in a room made of ice and sleep on a bed made of ice too.
The original ICE HOTEL was founded in 1989 in Sweden, and creates art exhibitions and hotels each year from one of Europe's wild rivers 200 km north of the Arctic Circle.
Each year, variations of the hotel differ from artist to artist.
